…from people I know:
Leominster: Staunch Democrats wicked scared at what they are seeing.
Worcester: Democratic foot soldiers on the ground worried and discouraged.
Update: Got a call from a friend looking for tech support, no time to debug her system but asked her about the election, she dislikes both candidates but will vote Coakley as the lesser of two evils. That is the the race in a nutshell.
The line at the polling station started before 7 a.m. and the stream of voters remained steady despite slick roads.
Poll workers said the voters were enthusiastic, they hadn’t seen anything like it before in a state where the results of National elections are a given.
Update: Talked to an elderly couple as they left the polls. There were excited to be voting in a contested race in Massachusetts and Voted for Brown. I asked what they hear from people they work with. That includes a lot of non-profits, and college people; traditional bastions of Democratic strength; they report a 55-45 split in favor Coakley among the ones they know. They expressed a worry concerning machine politics and dirty tricks.
At the roadside entrance to the parking lot where people traditionally hold signs for their candidates a single person holding a Brown sign was present when I came in. On my way out we spoke. He had been there since 7 a.m. and people driving in and driving by were honking and giving thumbs up the entire time.
He was joined by two guards from a local prison holding a sign promoting a local candidate for Sheriff. The guards were solidly for Brown as were the people they worked with.
Update 2: Robert Stacy is awake and blogging
a webcast, a visit to an Irish Pub in Southie at 1:20 A.M. Being locked out in the street in Boston at 2:00 a.m. and an a 3:30 a.m. arrival home; the time has come.
Stacy is very crashed at the moment so I’m off to the polls to vote and see how things look first thing in the morning.
Be back soon.
…be the start of another Massachusetts Revolution?
Looking at the old School House Rock Video there are a lot of Parallels.
We have an arrogant elite based in Boston.
We have average people turning out in the countryside.
And we have people coming from thousands of miles away to join the fight.
Let’s hope the national and state GOP has the sense to make use of this for November.
