What irony huh?  Dead Kennedy's healthcare legacy will be squashed by his own people in his own state. :-)

Jeez. They just don't get it. Do they?

Clinton, to his credit, did. Obama just is completely misssing it. Why?

Because Clinton made the mistake of actually...in some small way...caring about what people thought of him...these people don't care.

It's not that they are missing anything in how they are doing the things they do...it's the fact they are going to do what THEY want to do in order to change this country into their Socialist Utopia...to hell with what the proles think.

If a candidate delivers a concession speech, is the state required to certify the other candidate as the winner?

8:35 p.m. EST: With 13% in, Brown leads 53-46, about 23,000 votes ahead. The Independent candidate, Joseph Kennedy, has less than 3,000 votes.

It is very, very, very quiet in here. Brown's margin has increased with every update.

Hmm. Ms. Pitt seems to be lagging in her updates...

Not certify, but I believe the temporary Senator no longer is Senator, and in the absence of a challenge, things move along.

I just copied this off a Twitter feed:

Turnout way down in D stronghold of Holyoke, in western MA, where Coakley needed to win 6,500 to 4,000 but won 4,800 to 3,700
half a minute ago from web Seekonk, MA: Brown needed 57%, got 62%
2 minutes ago from web Dartmouth, MA: Brown needed 49%, got 53%
4 minutes ago from web Cook Report does NOT officially call races, but if I were working for a network I would have enough #s to project: Brown Wins
8 minutes ago from web Haverhill, MA: Brown needed 55%, got 60%.
9 minutes ago from web


Name Dave Wasserman
Location Washington, DC
Bio U.S. House analyst, the nonpartisan Cook Political Report, est. 1984 (both me & the report that is...), and no relation to Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (FL-20)

It looks like a done deal - looking at the remaining votes, there is little place left for her to gain momentum - (knock on wood)
