Some local media outlets in the state are beginning to call it for Brown.

I know The Commonwealth - they are right to do so - Coakley has taken Wealthy Boston, The Islands, Fall River, New Bedford, P-Town and The Berkshires. -- the stuff in the middle around I-495 is all Brown and alot of it is fairly heavily populated. He may gain another point or so because of that before its done.

Earth to Howard Dean: The voters are angry at people like you, and #MASen is proof! 35 seconds ago reply

jkoo Snap election led to a failure for a proper vetting in the Dem primary. Dems could've had a Rep. that's won 4 elections (Capuano). #MASen 29 seconds ago reply

marklainer Sad that ConservaDems, like Bayh, will think #masen means voters are rejecting progressiveness. They're not. This is an unmotivated base. 22 seconds ago

I am going to go ahead and call it -- no way Coakley is overcoming that beautiful red map.

Massachusetts is officially red my friends. Coupe Deval is next.

She's apparently conceded.

Drudge appears to call it for Brown. It just changed the numbers to simply "Great Scott!".

My friend just posted on facebook that Coakley is about to concede!!!!!

There are reports of Coakley conceding.

The DUmp is deeply saddened.

TheSarge · « **Reply #164 on:** January 19, 2010, 08:18:41 PM »

The White House and the rest of the Dem leadership should be listening very closely to Franks Luntz's focus group right now.

It's very telling.

Happy Fun Ball · « **Reply #165 on:** January 19, 2010, 08:18:50 PM »

Drudge just reported Coakley conceding by phone to Brown.

Any bets on the Dems trying to get Obama to sign the Healthcare bill tonight?

There had been chatter on the news over the weekend that the Senate would force the House to accept the Senate bill and no further debate or vote would be needed...just Obama's signature.

This time last year I'd have thought it was a tinfoil kook idea.

Not anymore.

I think one the 50s sometime, and before then it was one in the 20s.

She'll unconcede in the am when all the fraudulant votes come in
