Does ANYONE have an idea of voter turnout?
I've heard it's high - which is good. Then I heard it's only high in Brown districts and very low in areas Coakley has her strongest support. That is bad.

Is there any concrete information on turnout in Boston and other Democratic stongholds?

2. Just saw a tweet from Chuck Todd saying all Dems are to blame
for this loss. I guess they know the results.

3. I'm not watching.
Not worth it. I caught Ed and Ed was blaming Pres. Obama for the loss. He's the typical stereotypical dumb jock.

Which fits his blowhard persona on television. I like it sometimes...but it just gets tiresome.

6. Tweets Matthews and Chuck Todd belong over at
Fox Non-News Channel.

I am not watching TV tonight, regardless of who wins.
I will stick with the net. I am tired of hearing the damn pundits preach to us just how bad Obama and company are.

4. ALso, who or what counts the votes in most precincts in MA?

And if there are paper ballots, are they then scanned into an OptiScan counter, which is a devious type of computer system really high up there in terms of concern about hackability??

8. Voter turnout is high. High is good, but nobody knows how high is enough.

10. Bah. I hate politics.
I need another spectator sport. Not even college football and the NBA give me this much anxiety.
