You heard it here first.

1. My gut tells me the same. nt

2. She'd better

One more nail in the coffin.

[Grand Taurean]

3. Brown is leading by a small margin early.

Boston and the other cities have yet to come in.
Springfield looks good early.

6. Yes, and the early returns are usually the small, rural precincts

Which have a larger percentage of Republicans.

4. Race just tightened

13% reporting

Currently Brown 53, Coakley 46

Not bad so far. Larger populated areas usually come later and usually tend D.

5. I hope she does.

I have my fingers crossed.

[BlueState]

7. I am looking at the closeness

and without a single precinct in Boston, only a few in Cambridge and Worcester. Dare I be hopeful?

10. A Coakley win might just wipe that shit-eating grin off Chuck Todd's face.

Damn that gloating guy gets on my nerves!

And you're both pretty smart, so I'll go with your predictions.

13. Special elections are hard to predict. See NY-23.

Even the Georgia runoff in '08 was never really captured by pollsters.

I think you have to apply very wide margins of error to polls of special elections. It's extremely difficult to predict what kind of electorate will see fit to show up.

14. i'll second your first

16. 65% in and Brown has 53%, Coakley 46% - maybe Coakley will

win ........ reelection as AG but it does not look good for tonight sadly.
