*whew* Markey is going to win.

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.

Allegedly.

These last two elections ought to get liberals off of Martha Coakleys ass.. It was the issue of the day.

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.
