1. Good news - thanks for the update

[BeyondGeography]

2. Scott's going down

Going down hard.

[Sugarcoated]

3. Cool beans!

[Cooley Hurd]

4. Fuck yeah!!! She will be a TREASURE as a Senator!

[99Forever]

5. Elizabeth Warren will be a fantastic Senator.

This is excellent news.

[Auntie Bush]

6. I gasped, "THANK GOODNESS" out loud when I saw this! Thanks! You made my day!

[Tennessee Gal]

7. Great news!!! nt

[ProudProgressiveNow]

8. Great news!

[Justkd1]

9. Absolute BEST news I have heard all day!

This has been a tough race. Brown has run a campaign mostly based on slander and lies, and Warren has really put up with a lot of "stuff". Especially the racist B.S.

As a lurker in NH, I see the ads on teevee and have worried about her being able to defend herself in a way that wouldn't turn people off. She has come back with some powerful advertising and has hung in there against the worst of the tea party-Koch brother-Karl Rove ads.

I am so proud of her!

[PatSeg]

14. I'm a lurker in NH as well

Scott Brown's wife started doing commercials for her husband and I think it was a bad decision. She may be a wonderful person, but she doesn't come across as very convincing in a commercial. (She is explaining why her husband is good for women voters)

[Cha]

36. That's a tough sell with his record in the Senate.

[treestar]

10. Wow she has done a good job.

Won't it be great if both she and Obama win?

[jsmirman]

11. Yes, please. Warren would be a great senator and Brown is a fraud.

The man is a lying, say anything chameleon cut from the exact same cloth as Romney.

Warren is exactly who she says she is - a qualified, competent, brilliant and relentless advocate for those with less power in this country.

[lobodons]

12. -15 with Independents?

Up by 9 while losing to Independents by 15 points? Perhaps those "Independents" are actually R's who are just too embarrassed to admit it..??

Nonetheless, this is awesome news!! +9 baby!!!!!!

[Arkana]

18. Massachusetts is over 40% registered Dems.

If you win Democrats over, you can lose among independents by large margins and still win elections.

[bluestate10]

41. Most of the Independents lean democrat.

They are fiscal conservatives, that is why Brown attracted them. Martha Coakley ran a horrible campaign, it was downright incompetent. Warren is running a beautiful campaign, she is outflanking Brown at every turn. Al Sharpton picked up on the Brown supporting republicans in Massachusetts paying poor people and some homeless people to try to swing Obama supporting voters. The republican's efforts are telling because they say that Brown is having problems building a vote buffer in the wealthy and large and voter rich Middlesex County. Brown's antics may have turned off some potential supporters in Middlesex County, if that has indeed happened, Brown will be defeated.

13. K&R

[edbermac]

15. I hate that smarmy little turd even more than Rmoney.

Warren and Obama, my daily double in a few weeks!

[Generic Other]

16. I am looking forward to having a new Democratic senator from Massachusetts

May the Kennedy spirit prevail!

[Arkana]

17. I could sing right now.

I get to vote for her and my ride to and from work has been carpet bombed with Elizabeth Warren signs.

I want to watch that fuckknob pack his truck and go home to Wrentham.

[Deep13]

19. *tweet* mi-mi-mi, la-la-la-la. *ahem*

FUCK YEAH!!

[sheshe2]

20. I get to vote for her too!

Elizabeth you go girl

[valerief]

21. And when the exit polls show she won by a huge margin but Brown subsequently

wins the "counted" votes, what then?

I'm so tired of the bad guys winning that I can't even conceive of the good ones winning. That goes for the prez election, too.

[Fearless]

24. It's Massachusetts

We're not big fans of voter fraud. It won't happen.

[valerief]

39. I know. I'm Mass., too. Rmoney was elected here. Ugh! nt

[RBInMaine]

37. You are taking paranoia to all new heights and levels. Please. Take something for it.

[Scalded Nun]

22. This is truly great news

I would so dearly love to see more women taking their places in our federal government. I trust them more to make good choices, they are more genuinely empathetic and I honestly believe they would be more thoughtful before thrusting this country into wars and conflicts we have no business being in.
Women, like men, are not perfect, but all things being equal I really believe they would do a better job running this country.

[DippyDem]

23. BOOM!

Who's gonna clean up the mess on the pavement?

[bullwinkle428]

25. Maybe he can accuse some more victims of tragedy of being actors.

[ffr]

26. Keep the pressure on. GOTV!

[tomm2thumbs]

27. T-remendous!!!!!!

Hopefully actual voting and follow-thru is the signature on the deal!

(crossing everything)

[libodem]

28. woo hoo

Sofa king cool!

[xxqqqzme]

29. Bernie Sanders is about to get some

help.

[MindMover]

30. Bye Bye Scottie, and good riddance you 50-50 guy ...

[FailureToCommunicate]

31. I hope Brown's debate chest thumping about his "serving in Afghanistan"

has hurt him. He was only there for SEVEN days - doing meet and greet with military brass.

[mountain grammy]

32. This is a dream come true... the election of a real champion for the people!

[fleur-de-lisa]

33. Hillary Clinton/Elizabeth Warren 2016 !!!

Wouldn't that be SWEET !!!

[Hassin Bin Sober]

34. Not to look a gift horse in the mouth ... but ...

Who the fuck are the 9% who will vote for Obama and then vote for Scott Brown?

I know the math isn't an exact match but you get my point.

It drives me nuts.

I guess I know the type. I have an acquaintance who dove me nuts with his overzealous enthusiastic support of President Obama in the primary and general - cc'd me every time he sent money etc. then turns around and votes for Mark Kirk for Obama's Senate seat.

[Cha]

35. Steady Determined Work..all over the state! Armed

with FACTS..not a smear campaign like stupid scott brown's.

[Spaldeen]

38. please let it be! n/t

.

[AsahinaKimi]

40. I donated to her campaign,

I am glad she is doing well!

[Major Nikon]

42. I don't think it's too early to start calling her Senator Warren

I can't see any way Brown comes back from a 9 point deficit with only 20 days left.

[lonestarnot]

43. Wooooooodamnwhooooo!

[Zorra]

44. WOO-HOO! That's some serious great news, thanks!!! nt

[NBachers]

45. I was in Massachusetts last month, and one of my main objectives was to photograph Warren signs

Here's one in Northampton:

[deaniac21]

46. Cherokee's know how to go to war!

[nutsnberries]

47. i'm gittin a new senator!

[King_Klonopin]

48. I wanted to slap the smug right off his lyin' face yesterday

when he pulled that "I've heard some people say that
she's using actors in her ads.." bullshit.

He had to publicly apologize to her for being such a scumbag
and using such obviously desperate innuendo.

That apology pretty much seals his fate, in my estimations.
He is done! Finally!

GFR

[yesphan]

49. Excellent news !!!
