[Neo Art]

Mod Edit: This has now become our thread for talking about this election (Congrats, NeoArt ), any further comments about it goes here. Let me also remind everyone that the usual US electorial "No gloating, trolling, or trollbaiting" rules are in full force, for both sides. -NS Mod Team

Since I'm here in Boston, I'm getting updates on local news pretty much as it comes, so I'll be doing some updates as they come in.

With 4% of the vote reporting, it's:

Brown 52%
Coakley 47%

I'm pretty much expecting that to be the final result - advantage Brown.

Between the Massachusetts election coverage and Haiti coverage, the rest of the world has apparently come to a screeching halt. They just seem to bounce back and forth between the two.

Don't forget the occasional small sidetrack to Afghanistan.

Now lets see if the Democrats can retain their filibuster-proof Congress.

Brown's winning i think, but i dont know i live in nevada

[Free Soviets]

with 7% in its:

Brown 51%
Coakley 48%

keep in mind that later reporting will, I THINK, tend to favor Coakley as, purely anecdotal, it appears that more urban communities tend to favor her much more, and I imagine that they're a little slower getting things organized, as the more urban polling centers are busier

[Neo Art]

11% in and it's

Brown 53%
Coakley 46%

big bump for Brown there.

Fox are already spinning Brown's 'win' as a referendum on Obama.

Fox are already spinning Brown's 'win' as a referendum on Obama.

They're calling an election this close with seven percent in? Seven fucking percent?

They were calling it before the numbers started coming in.

They're actually backpeddled a bit now there are real numbers.

Looks like Brown might accually pull off an upset. This could potentially be a rather important election.

[Barringtonia]

I don't know, normally when I watch elections like this, by 10% you're generally pretty steady on in, especially where it's as wide as 6%,

How depressing.
