YO: I'm running a live blog from Boston today on the MA Senate race

First post:

Three weeks ago, hardly anyone outside of Massachusetts was aware that a special election was being held on January 19th to fill Edward M. Kennedy's senate seat. Today, the election is the biggest story in the news besides the catastrophe in Haiti. Today, the voters in Massachusetts will cast their ballots. The two main candidates - Republican state senator Scott Brown and Democratic Attorney General Martha Coakley - find themselves in a nip-and-tuck race on this final day. The polls are all over the place, snow is expected, and turnout will ultimately decide the whole thing.

I live in downtown Boston, and will be covering the election all day. I will be reporting on local news coverage, visiting polling places throughout the city, and talking to people on the street about who they voted for and why. A great many things hang in the balance with this election - Obama's health care reform legislation, the Democrat's super-majority in the Senate, and the final legacy of Ted Kennedy - so check in here throughout the day and night for updates and analysis.

I'm heading out soon to vote and scour the city for updates and info. Stay tuned.

P.S. It's snowing.

and thanks :patriot:

and they get to decide what the time stamps will be.

No skin off my nose.

my bad

Following election returns on the 'net for the West can get pretty confusing.

:thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Hopefully it's record high.

I'm hoping for a BIG surprise win for Coakley... Fingers crossed.

No, rly.

Reading it as the day goes.

My first cousin has relatives in MA - they are all Coakley supporters.

Thanks Will.

Kennedy.

I'm sure the RRRNC ratfucking machine played no part whatsoever in that, right? :eyes:

.

Is the snow bad enough to seriously hamper vehicular traffic?

I'm hoping for a large turnout.

and thanks to Mr. Pitt

:thumbsup:

Your narrative makes me feel I' right there in the snow.

Hope the vote goes our way!

throw a cream pie into the face of the mainstream media and the pollsters. Real nice!

That was who I was thinking of??

:thumbsup:

any updates? hopefully some good news...

This reflects what I'm reading on other blogs... Turnout good so far.

this New Englander needs some good news!

Rule to remember.
I heard this from my father who was a Democratic activist and union organizer.

Go Coakley. I'm one of those bastardly progressives so loathed here at DU, but I hope Coakley wins.

I'm on my phone, see link to blog in posts above. Heading to major polling station soon.

I'll check it out fellow Bostonian.

"MSM" is already preparing us for a Brown Win...I can't wait to read what you say when you interview the Coakley Campaign folks.. Should be worth another book.

What a mess this has become. :hug:

On to victory!
