I was wrong.   
   
Yesterday, I put up a post predicting a Coakley win. "Bank it" were the words I used specifically.

I apologize to anyone whose hopes I got up.

This.

Sucks.

Hmm. We have two threads on this topic. Normally I'd ask for a merge but in this case I think we need about six more.

The man used that talking dog with a Martini glass for his avatar when he posted his prediction. That's just asking for a comeuppance.

12. Few things
 1. Dems outnumber Repubs 3-1 in MA.

2. Brown's best hope was low turnout. Thanks to all the national attention, they're expecting turnout to be at or around 70%. That's absurdly high for an off-year election.

Wow!  Holy crap, was he ever wrong!  I guess that comes with having to try to perceive the world through your own sphincter.

If 70% voted, and Dems really are 3-1 over Republicans, then that means that a whole lot of Democrats voted for Brown.

22% from what I saw.

I don't care for Brown, but he is a million times better than the spawn of Satan Coakley.

"The Democrats brought this on themselves," you say? You don't know the half of it.

Back when Kerry was running against Bush in 2004, Republican Mitt Romney was governor of MA. The rule in MA was that the governor has the power to replace a departing Senator, and the buzz on Beacon Hill was that, if Kerry should beat Bush, Mitt would appoint a Republican to take Kerry's seat.

So the Democrats in MA changed the rule in the legislature and stripped the governor of the power to make Senate replacements.

Oops.

So they changed the rule, which became moot when Kerry lost and returned to the Senate, and then Democrat Deval Patrick won the governor's race, and then Teddy died, and they didn't change the rule again to allow for governors to appoint Senate replacements.

Which is why that ****ing election happened yesterday. Because we changed the rule and didn't change it back.
:tongue:

True, but I believe there is a very large bunch of Independents that enter into it as well, it is not just a two-player game there.

I don't know where they got the 70% figure because my research discovered that there are some 4+Million voters in Mass. The recent election only showed some 2 Million votes (+/-)  :clueless:  Is this how Liberal math works ?!?!?!?

I read that going into the election the breakdown was as follows:

Independents - 51%

Democrats - 32%

Republicans - 17%

I'm sure that Truth-Is-All has some really intricate Excel spreadsheets and graphs that explain how this election result was impossible.
