1. I heard it in the news here first, yesterday.

2. What you heard yesterday was a prediction. n/t

3. I'm almost there.

Markey is in the lead and Boston is 0% in. The expectation was that Markey would win by 20% and Metro Boston (which is part in) would account for most of that margin. Boston had low turnout but I expect a formal call within 15-20 minutes.

4. Up by 26,000 votes. It's over. n/t

5. Yup.

My map just updated. It's going to be closer than predicted (3-7% rather than an expected 20% but it's over.)

6. Meaning people didnt get out and vote

WTF is up with the democrats in that state getting out the vote

[Mass]

7. Nobody expected 20%. People knew that those polls were faulty

This said, it seems it is going to be 7 to 10 where most polls were. Many towns and cities in Markey's district are not yet in, nor are a large part of Boston and Worcester.

8. It's a win. I'll accept that by any margin. n/t

[Hoyt]

9. The new Nate Silver. I think/hope you are right.
