Olbermann and Maddow are calling it for Brown

[Pryderi]

sucks.

[pnwmom]

1. Based on what? Earlier polls? There were no exit polls. n/t

[MercutioATC]

3. Based on the first 9% of precincts, perhaps?

[alcibiades_mystery]

5. 9 precincts...not 9%

[MercutioATC]

9. My mistake.

9 precincts.

[pnwmom]

11. A handful of votes, and not from the urban parts of the state. n/t

[Orangepeel]

7. they aren't really calling it, officially. they are just talking like it already happened

based on anecdotal evidence and the way democrats they have talked to are reacting.

[Grand Taurean]

2. on 9 out of 2100+ districts?

:wtf:

[Jeff In Milwaukee]

6. Depends on the precincts...(nt)

[pnwmom]

12. None are from the Boston area. n/t

[gateley]

4. Man, that was fast. Agree - sucks. Hope they're wrong. nt

[malaise]

8. A friend in DC called me an hour ago

and called it for Brown. He's a big time Dem activist and he was pissed.
I'm still hoping he's wrong.

[gateley]

32. I'm listening to progressive radio, and checking back in to DU -

and the sinking sensation in my stomach keeps getting worse. I fear this one is theirs, malaise. :(

[malaise]

33. Yep - One year to the date of the inauguration speech

and this fugging happens. I hope they wake up now.

[apocalypsehow]

10. Damn, damn, damn.

:thumbsdown:

[fascisthunter]

13. how could they do that so early?

that's ridiculous

[BrklynLiberal]

14. I am totally disillusioned...

I am physically ill at the turn things have taken.

This is even more heartbreaking than than Kerry's loss because it was SO AVOIDABLE and the repukes are laughing their asses off at the feeble rantings of those Dems who are trying to assign blame instead of getting together and prevent this from happening again!!!

I hope that Brown's victory in MA...as much of a tragedy as it is...will awaken some of those who can do something..to get out there and DO something!!

I am crying..and cannot stop.


I hope they are wrong..but my stomach is aching cause I fear they are right...

[bushalert]

16. Still early folks

Lets give it some time.

[BrklynLiberal]

23. I hope and hope and hope that you are right...and I will be able to laugh at my foolish despair.

[AzDar]

15. I'm watching MSNBC, and I don't see/hear them doing that AT ALL.

:wtf:

[Terra Alta]

17. me either.

Rachel isn't even on there at all yet; right now it's just Keith.

[TxRider]

21. Rachel said

Based on turnout and where the turnout was it doesn't look good.

[marshall]

27. All the wrong people voted

And too few of the right ones did.

[euphoria12leo]

25. I don't either

3,900 votes for Brown and 3,400 for Coakley certainly not all the votes.

[PSzymeczek]

18. I'm watching Keith.

He hasn't called anything. He just said the vote count was in the quadruple digits, nowhere near done.

[Pryderi]

20. The opening minutes the 2 of them were resigned to Brown winning.

[laughingliberal]

19. I didn't see them as calling it per se but they were indicating it would probably not end well for

Coakley!

Anecdotally, the reports are turn out was high in the burbs and lackluster in urban areas.

[laughingliberal]

26. CNN: 5% of precincts reporting

Coakley 47%

Brown 52%

tightened up from last report, Coakley gained 2%

[jwirr]

22. If this is true then we are going to have to use the 51 vote option for

every damn thing we want. That is going to be the pits. We start by screwing up health care and that will effect the whole rest of this term. SHIT = the name of a song that we played after the defeat of George McGovern.

[bushalert]

28. Pathetic

Looks like the boston.com site crashed. Shouldn't they have prepared for this?

[Lone_Star_Dem]

24. They're Omniscient? Just guessing?

What? :shrug:

[Tippy]

29. Please take time to read this...all is lost if we don't do somthing ........

Bill Moyers interviews Thomas Frank on how our short attention span has allowed conservatives to BILL MOYERS: You wrote "What's the Matter with Kansas?" Let me ask you to broaden that canvas and ask, with the answer to the question, what's the matter with America that we tolerate all of this?

THOMAS FRANK: I think a large part of it is that-- well, it's the chronic historical forgetting, you know? We just elected Barack Obama in this-- you know, he had quite a mandate. You know, biggest majority of any President since Reagan. And now a year later, and the public is already turning on him. And that's a part of the problem.

I will not tolerate what those teabaging Republicans are doing to my country...Do I want, to see my Grandkids, suffering because we (forgot)? ABOSOLUTELY NOT. What Bush and his henchmen did to our country was criminal..I will not stand by and watch Blue Dogs controling MY party

[bushalert]

30. Doesn't look good

That asshole has really pulled ahead of Cloakley. WAKE UP CALL TO DEMS!!!!

[undeterred]

31. Yeah, and didn't Rachel predict McCain was going to win?

Forecasting is not her specialty.
