Apparently right as the polls close circa 7:00 p.m. central time, 6:00 p.m. mountain time, "Greta"--I don't know the channel--is having Karl Rove and Sarah Palin with her, to discuss the results.

Too bad they couldn't get Richard Cheney, too--for those three, I'd run to Wal-Mart to get a television set.

Greta would be on Fox News.  I saw Rove on there earlier this morning, and he said he'd be back tonight for the fun.

Rasmussen is apparently doing exit polling on his own for it, I expect Fox will be having him on.

With the exception of Rasmussen, there is this...
Quote
There will be no [exit polls] tonight from Massachusetts, disappointing journalists and political scientists alike. As Mike Allen of Politico.com reports, the consortium of news outlets that normally organizes such surveys didn't bother when the race was expected to be a blowout and now "wasn't confident a reliable system could be built so fast."

Another casualty of the expectation that the race would be a cakewalk for the Democrat will be an absence of absentee ballot fraud, the preferred method of putting an illegal thumb on the scale in a close race. Applications for absentee ballots had to be submitted by last Friday, providing little opportunity for those with ill intent to organize such an effort once they realized the race had tightened up . . . Both parties have concerns about vote fraud or intimidation in today's election. Hundreds of lawyers and observers have been deployed at key polling places. But it's likely to be a relatively quiet election from a litigation angle unless the final margin is razor-thin. The Brown surge came so suddenly there was no time to plan anything devious beyond the usual negative commercials — which in this race ran everywhere, including, for the first time in anyone's memory, The Weather Channel.

My husband got  call from Brown campaign office in Worcester this morning to please come down to do calls.  He worked 12-8 this morning, but headed down there at 11 a.m.   When he got there it was mobbed, so he wasn't needed for calls.  He grabbed some signs and headed out to hold  them at the polls -- he said that he only got one thumbs down from a voter where he was standing out.   He came home super confident for a Brown win, until he started listening to the local news who are all pumping up Coakley's claims she is going to win today -- based on "anecdotal" feelings. 

Come on God, give Brown a win!!!

Ive yet to read or hear that, but with that being said - it was pointed out in another thread that Coakley's campaign has already started to fire back at Washington Democrats, and as they say about 'biting the hand that feeds you'.. What this tells me is that things must look pretty freakin' grim to start squabbling over a defeat that has yet to be determined -unless her internals show Scott Brown with an insurmountable lead.

My sister just told me Howie Carr said there is a back up onto 128 at the exit ramp -- backed up from the polling place.

Someone took a big fat gulp of stupid-juice before making that statement - But then again, we do have the VRWC time machine - we could have made a few 'course corrections' nearly 30 years ago to affect outcome today.. T3h r0v3 is mighty.

Michael Graham   [Kathryn Jean Lopez]


is calling the race:

If Scott Brown doesn't win, it will be the first time I've ever seen a race where a candidate won the money war, the message war, and the momentum war...and still lost.
 
But that's not why I'm calling this race.
 
Based on the six years I spent as a GOP consultant and flak, I called this race as soon as I found out about the Coakley CYA memo leaked to Politico.
 
Sorry, Democrats, but the White House and the Coakley campaign have both seen the internal polling.  And by lunchtime today they were both blaming each other for losing the race.
 
This isn't a CYA move. It's a consultant concession speech.
 
My Escape Clause: Given that the Coakley campaign has clearly been run by idiots, they could be so stupid they think they've lost a race that they've won.
