On a Positive Note
The Democrats in MA have a huge, well oiled GOTV machine.

It very well could make a big difference.

I can't sleep, but I gotta try, cause I have to get up early to vote in the am for Martha!

Good night and GO MARTHA!

7. I've received no calls or knocks. Maybe it's because I volunteered
But I got 2 knocks from Brown. This worries me.

13. And?
Sorry, did I miss the history lesson where we learn that knocks from out-of-staters don't get people to vote for a candidate?

She didn't run until last week.

3. trying to stay positive here...
My 85 year old father has been having trouble walking lately and is very much walker-phobic but he is so determined to vote against Brown that he has promised me that he will be ready to vote tomorrow and we can stick the walker in the car so that if that's the only way he can make it into the voting area, he'll use it. I'll be taking him and my mom and i've gotten my 2 voting-age children to fill out their absentee ballots.

On a less positive note.... Brown was received like some sort of hero today in our red little town. And in the past week, I'd say the Brown calls have outdone the Coakley calls about 2:1.

i can't believe how close this race has turned out.

8. I'll bet you anything it was completely out of their control.
They probably proofread the ad, went with it, and the guy doing production goofed. That kind of stuff is so insignificant. It's all the Repukes have to go on. I suppose it has always been like this. But it seems to have ratcheted down in recent years.

10. It makes me cry everytime I think that health care was his life work
and some Tea party empty lying suit may get his seat and ruin his lifes work.And, it will happen in the state he loved and served for so many years. How very, very sad.
