Just voted (for Coakley, of course) in Allston

[Recursion]

The getting-off-work crowd was starting to come in. The line was maybe 10 people when I got there and about 50 when I left. Snow didn't seem to be stopping people.

1. Turnout high in Ashland also

JUst about every voter name crossed off down our street when I checked in.

[BOSSHOG]

2. Thank You and Semper Fi

I wish I could give a Democratic Senator from Mississippi to the nation.

[Recursion]

3. I'm from MS originally

The majority of our House delegation is still blue, at least. And Cochrane is one of the less batshit-insane Republicans.

[BOSSHOG]

5. Thanks Recursion, I needed that

Hi, I'm Thad Cochrane and I'm less batshit insane then my fellow republicans. Thad do like his pork. And my boy Gene Taylor (D) (USCG Vet) walks a tightwire trying to keep the batshit insane members of his base relatively placated. The hardcore "patriots" hate his guts.

[Recursion]

10. People here bitch about Taylor but I like the guy

Then again, it's a small state as you know and some cousin or other of mine is married to some cousin or other of his so I've met him a few times. And, yeah, he does pretty well keeping the right-wing wackos in his district voting for a guy with (D) after his name. I do miss Sonny Montgomery, though.

[BOSSHOG]

12. I appreciate Gene's efforts

many here on DU would like to get rid of him BUT who the hell would THEY replace him with? How many fucking liberals live in my district besides me and the old lady down the highway?

6. Thanks, patriot dude!

7. The polling place across the street from my house has been dead all day

No lines, nothing.

8. Welcome back! NT

9. Hey Allston!

My son lives there too. Did you happen to run into him? ;-)

[Recursion]

11. Well, it seems like most of Allston was on the 57 bus today

So probably

[redwitch]

13. I hope you didn't get too close.

Apparently he is coming down with a cold. But he voted Coakley. :hi:
