Polls Closed, Updates Abound (Update: Brown WINS!)

Ok, it's 25-minutes since the polls shut down and the early and often and dead voters went home. No numbers thus far but there is some news:

-Pollster Frank Luntz is having trouble getting Coakley supporters to sit for his usual election night group.

-O'Reilly just said with 7% in Brown leads by 3%; 51-48%.

-Allah predicts heartbreak, but then he generally does. (Note: as of 9:13 Hot Air has crashed.)

-AP also has this showing results in Ashland: 54-45% for Brown.

-Early results show Brown by 7% with 238 of 2168 Precincts Reporting. That's 11%.

-36% Brown by 5%.

-Update: Some heavy hitters call it for Brown. As it stands it's Brown by 7% with 63% in. It's over and Brown has done it.

-None of the nets have called it but it's over. The big loser is Barack Obama. Who would want that guy to come in and stump them? He lost at Copenhagen...twice in a few months. He couldn't push Corzine over in deep blue New Jersey and he's failed to carry Coakley over the finish line. Reid and Pelosi are a close second.

-County by county here.

-Lots of major websites are crashing. The entire country is paying attention.

-Coakley concedes! Fox, AP, MSNBC and everyone else calls it for Brown. The look on Maddow's face was awesome.

-Chris Matthews looks like he's constipated. I guess no tingles up his leg tonight.

-Maddow and Matthews are spinning like whirling dervishes calling Tea Partiers "hypocrites" and spewing the typical lib rhetoric that it wasn't policy, it was message. Please, please, please keep that mindset until November.

-Norah O'Donnell is apoplectic. It's like a funeral at MSNBC. I've never had fun at a funeral until tonight. Hell, O'Donnell is even wearing black. Maddow sounds like his dog died.

Massachusetts Senate Update

Polls close in 52-minutes. I wouldn't expect to get info right away but you never know. Hey, the AP is so good, they had the results a full 6-hours before the polls closed.

-The Mass. race has started a cat fight between the pussy, whining chief liberal and the RINO over at MSNBC.

-The Dem get out the vote effort thoughts they were picking up Dem Coakley backers. They had it half right.

-"No one is using the coat check at Coakley HQ" Heh.

-Coakley screams voter fraud and Brown makes her look stupid once again.

-What to look for in Mass. results.

A Memorable Day for the GOP

They don't necessarily deserve it and should serve a bit more time in exile for selling out their base by passing the prescription drug bill and running up what were once considered huge deficits (until Obama). But the GOP has been gifted a horrid first year by Obama and generally loathesome Dem candidates in two big races in the last couple of months. We have new life it seems.

First off, Chris Christie took over for Jon Corzine in New Jersey in what can only be a harbinger for the new year. Corzine made McGreevey look sane and centrist with his ultra-liberal policies. Businesses ran for the exits and taxes went sky-high. Christie has vowed to cut spending and if he doesn't thisae state will not elect another Republican for twenty years. I think he'll do okay but he is facing massive deficits and a bloated beuracracy.

The other big event is the possibly impending win by Scott Brown. No real exit polling, only anecdotal info but there's huge turnout. The polls close at 8:00 EST. Much more on this later. It could be a momentous day for us on the right.

Update: The Inquirer didn't even put the Brown-Coakley race on the front page but instead put some drivel about Obama mobilizing his grassroots. The biggest story of the new year is being intentionally ignored by the Inqy. About what I expected.

Taxachusetts Senate Race Update

Big news from the Peoples Republic this morning.

-Obama went yesterday and had a teleprompter mishap. He was heckled too.

-Intrade has Coakley down to 40% 35%.

-Typical liberal response to Coakley's floundering campaign...Blame Bush! Guys, Bush has been out of office for a year. Remember, you all had those stupid 1.20.09 stickers on your bumpers? Note that Patrick Kennedy gets her name wrong more than once.

-Jim Kramer predicts a huge rally on Wall Street if Brown wins.

-Expect the votes to be counted as slowly as possible if the initial results favor Brown. Also, expect many allegations of voter fraud, especially with the SEIU mobilizing.

-Inside the polling.

There's no way I can emphasize the importance of this election enough. A Brown win will not only energize the GOP throughout the nation but it will energize the Conservative base more than they already are (which is considerable). As Tapper notes, Coakley is a "canary in the coal mine" for the Democrats.

If we have any hope of winning back the nation and stopping the socialist Juggernaut, it starts here and now. The GOP will have to trend right and maybe this will give them the backbone to actually stand up for what is not only good for the country but what is right.

-Update: "I like my women blonde, my Johnny Walker black and my Democrats quivering."
Amen, brother.

A Political Earthquake is Imminent

In the waning hours of the Coakley-Brown campaign, we're seeing the polls still trend toward Brown. Obama is set to land in Massachusetts (using our tax dollars and spewing massive amounts of carbon into the air) to prop up the flailing Coakley effort. The largest entitlement program in history hangs in the balance and the future of our nation over the next decade comes down to a special election in a deep blue state that has elected a Democrat in every federal election in recent memory.

Here's how the healthcare fiasco could shake out: Suppose Brown does win, the Dems will have to work fast to pass the healthcare fiasco. Chances are it will be close and the Massachusetts authorities will call for a recount to ensure that the outcome was indeed valid plus they will have to count the mail-in ballots. In other words, they will work as slow as possible. However, the GOP is set for legal action:

Appointed Senator Paul Kirk will lose his vote in the Senate after Tuesday’s election in Massachusetts of a new senator and cannot be the 60th vote for Democratic health care legislation, according to Republican attorneys.

Kirk has vowed to vote for the Democratic bill even if Republican Scott Brown is elected but not yet certified by state officials and officially seated in the Senate. Kirk’s vote is crucial because without the 60 votes necessary to stop a Republican filibuster, the bill will be defeated.

This would be a devastating loss for President Obama and congressional Democrats. The bill, dubbed ObamaCare, is the centerpiece of the president’s agenda. Brown has campaigned on becoming the 41st vote against ObamaCare.

But in the days after the election, it is Kirk’s status that matters, not Brown’s. Massachusetts law says that an appointed senator remains in office “until election and qualification of the person duly elected to fill the vacancy.” The vacancy occurred when Senator Edward Kennedy died in August. Kirk was picked as interim senator by Governor Deval Patrick.

Democrats in Massachusetts have talked about delaying Brown’s “certification,” should he defeat Democrat Martha Coakley on Tuesday. Their aim would be to allow Kirk to remain in the Senate and vote the health care bill.

This will make Bush v. Gore look like arguing a parking ticket as the Dems have almost grasped the holy grail--healthcare reform--and will not go away without a knock-down, drag-out brawl. They will use every means to get this done including invoking arcane rules and procedures and will never stop if they have any avenue to subvert the will of the people.

Grab the popcorn because this is about to get really good.
