No one thought he had a chance - a Republican taking Ted Kennedy's seat? - but a few things happened in relatively short order to upend the whole process. First, Coakley seemed to think the seat was hers by right, and pretty much didn't bother to campaign. Second, the nascent molecules of what eventually coalesced into the Tea Party saw a once-in-a-lifetime chance to stick it to old-guard Democrats (Kennedy's seat held by a Republican!) and flooded Brown's campaign with cash. Third, and most important, it was a special election on a cold, rainy night in January. Turnout is low enough for midterm elections as it is, but on this night, I think maybe fourteen voters bothered to go to the polls, and nine of them were Republicans.
Galvin had predicted as many as 2.2 million of the state's 4.5 million registered voters would vote -- at least double the turnout from December's primary. In one sign of high interest, more than 100,000 absentee ballots were requested ahead of the election, according to Galvin's spokesman, Brian McNiff.
looks like it's time for him to retweet this:https://twitter.com/WRPitt/status/424202959082098688Anyone have a screencap of it? "A good week for hard drinking".
He wants so badly to portray himself as the second coming of Hunter S. Thompson. It would be sad if it wasn't so obvious.
Captain Kangaroo would be closer to the truth.
More like Otis Campbell.
