Republican leading.
So... who wants that if he wins a) he won't be seated for a while, as the board of elections will drag their feet to keep the Senate the way it is and b) healthcare "reform" gets crammed through anyway.
Results as they come in.

QUOTE I heard Coakley was getting Al Franken's vote-contestor guy.
Heh....
QUOTE In a sign of the high stakes involved, the Coakley campaign held an afternoon news conference Tuesday to complain that voters in three places received ballots already marked for Brown.
McNiff confirmed that the secretary of state's offices received two reports of voters saying they got pre-marked ballots. The suspect ballots were invalidated and the voters received new ballots, McNiff said.
Kevin Conroy, the Coakley campaign manager, said the "disturbing incidents" raised questions about the integrity of the election. In response, the Brown campaign issued a statement criticizing Coakley's team.

If there's any clearer sign that people don't want what Obama's selling, I have no idea what is. How much more liberal can a state get than Mass.?

QUOTE Despite knowing Senate Democrats will lose their filibuster-proof majority after Tuesday night's political upset in Massachusetts, House Democrats across the political spectrum largely rejected the idea of passing the Senate health care bill.
Liberal New York Democrat Anthony Weiner predicted the Senate bill wouldn't have the votes to pass the House.
Weiner ridiculed House Democratic leaders for holding a meeting to brief House Democrats on negotiations with the White House on a health care bill, telling reporters, "They're talking as if, 'What our deal is, what our negotiators are at the White House' -- yeah, and then the last line is, 'Pigs fly out of my ass' ... it's just, we've got to recognize we are in an entirely different scenario."
This scrambling has come about because Republican Scott Brown won a major upset victory in the special election for the U.S. Senate seat formerly held by liberal Democrat Ted Kennedy.

Saw some asshole named Josh something on Good Morning America today. He was a Dem talking head and was given the exit poll numbers from Mass stating that 48% of the people who voted said the Health Care bill was the primary reason they showed up to vote.
His response? (And keep in mind, his party lost this "slam dunk" election...)
The American people want this Health Care bill and we're going to pass it. He went on to talk about how Republicans were in the insurance companies' pockets, just like they're in the banking industry's pockets.
So the Democratic party not only doesn't care about what voters think, but their defense of everything is simply smear tactics?
I really wish someone at that show would have done their homework so they could have asked him why the banks contributed far more to Democrats in, at least, the last few elections if they have Republicans in their pockets.

I thought the line from Weiner in what I quoted was telling, and his perspective was certainly refreshing from a Democrat. But all the talking heads just keep saying that same bullshit line about Republicans being in the pocket of X, when the Democrats are just in the pocket of Y, and sometimes X anyway.
Fuck em all.

That will probably ring true with 48% diehard Democrats in MA.

QUOTE Obama: Brown's win was Bush's fault.Or something. QUOTE "Here's my assessment of not just the vote in Massachusetts, but the mood around the country: the same thing that swept Scott Brown into office swept me into office," the president said in an exclusive interview with ABC News' George Stephanopoulos. "People are angry and they are frustrated. Not just because of what's happened in the last year or two years, but what's happened over the last eight years."
Apparently I write for Fox News.

Are you saying Leisher doesn't care what the voters think and engages in smear tactics?
