The Boston returns are coming in 3-1 for Markey, and he's already in the lead. 52-48 Markey with 60% in. He's up by 40,000 votes. There aren't enough GOP votes left in the remaining districts to make up the gap.
I feel confident saying this one is in the bag.
Breathe.

They're very good at getting the fundie preachers hollering fire and brimstone to get their Kool-Aid-drinking congregations out there voting Republican to stave-off the hellfire.
