MARKEY 54%....GOMEZ 46%....92% reporting....

[MADem]

GOMEZ is about to speak; anyone with NECN on their dial, tune in.

They might be covering it on the net...I'll look for a link and get back to this thread....

[longship]

1. Buh-bye Gomez!! nt

[MADem]

4. I am so pleased that I won't have to see that dunce's face on the tube fifty times a day....

He can take his no gun law, no medicare, no social security, anti-choice ass back to Cohasset, where the seawater is cold as his corporate heart!

[longship]

6. Plus a dude who carry on in the great Mass Senator tradition.

Which we all love.



Good work MAdem.

[MADem]

8. Damn right--Ed's got all the right moves; he'll take up the standard and run with it. nt

[Cha]

12. I bet you are! It's closer

than it should be for Mass, imo!

[MADem]

20. Low turnout and lots of GOTV on both sides, I think.

This was just "the base" making the decision, not the "Every four years" voters. In a Presidential election, I can haul almost a hundred people without cars or readily available transport to the polls; I kinda had to pester people to get thirty to sign up, and only 24 ended up taking a lift today.

People think MA is an easy win--it really isn't. Percentage wise, it's about a third Dem, a third GOP, and the rest INDYS (many lean left, but not exclusively) who can get pissed off over One Damn Thing or another....

I'm looking at the crowd at Gomez's HQ...and I ask myself, what are some of these young women THINKING? They don't think their right to choose matters? They don't give a shit if their parents lose their medicare and social security? They'd give a shit if they needed abortion services, or their parents had to move in with them because they had no dough and no where to go....shortsighted dipshits! Someone needs to speak sternly to those clueless dolts--what did people fight for fifty to a hundred years back, if those dunces are gonna support a neanderthal like that? They need to start teaching civil rights/social justice in the schools, along with civics, because this shit is just...wrong!


MARKEY is giving a great speech--what a DIFFERENCE between him and Gomez...!!!

[Cha]

23. thanks for that explanation, MADem.. I was hoping you would.

Some young people go for the what they think looks good and have no idea what the issues are.

Thank Goodness we won by 10 POINtS!

Hope I get to see Senator Markey's speech too on the Vid. You know the Dems in DC are ecstatic!

[chillfactor]

2. thank goodness!

someone mentioned earlier that gomez might win because the turnout was low.

[MADem]

7. I dragged 24 butts of varying sizes to the polls today! I wasn't gonna not do my bit! nt

[MADem]

3. GOMEZ CONCEDES; MARKEY WINS.

I am unable to find a live feed, but this Gomez dude is just...uninspiring. He swallows his words, he speaks in hackneyed platitudes, and thank the mercies we dodged that big fat bullet.

Now we gotta do this again in seventeen months, but hey, whatever....

At least Markey knows the Hill--he just has to go to the other side!

[Cha]

14. That's too bad about the 17 months redux but

he'll have that time to get even more well known state wide.

Wonder who the repubs will put up then?

[MADem]

21. They might try Gee Gee again....but all Markey has to do is toss a little pork

at the greater Worcester area and western MA, and stick to the Teddie K issues, and he'll be OK. I'm betting the Senate leadership will be helpful; they know how important every seat is.

[Cha]

24. I'm sure Senator Markey will always have

an eye on that ball! thanks, MADem

[MADem]

5. MARKEY 55%....GOMEZ 45%....96% reporting....

Fucking Gomez just whined "Not every fight's a fair fight..."

Tell that to Al Gore, asshole!!!!

[MADem]

11. 98 percent reporting, Markey still has it by ten points. Buh-BYE!!!!

He finally finished up a long, rambling speech...that started out with his kid whining on the stage because daddy lost.

ICK.

[sheshe2]

9. Finally found the station!

Thank You God! Senator Edward Markey!!!! Damn that sounds fine!

Watching Gomez saying bye bye...he said he's sorry he came up short on this mission...Snort!

[MADem]

13. Do Be Advised That NECN coverage is to the Right of Attila the Hun!!!

So don't take a lot of the garbage you hear coming out of some of their commentators seriously.

Rabidly anti-choice gun nuts; that's Gomez's target audience.

[sheshe2]

18. Yea~

I am finding that out!

I thought the newscasters were going to pay homage to Gomez. A crown if they had one.

Thanks MADem for all the info!

Seantor Markey

[MADem]

22. I am one happy so-n-so...we needed to keep this seat!!!! nt

[sheshe2]

25. And we did, we rock! nt

[Cha]

17. SURREAL, she!

VICTORY for MARKEY!

[sheshe2]

19. You aren't kidding!

Thought I got stuck in the twilight zone for awhile~

Cut off from the news! YIKES!

[Mass]

10. I wonder which town will have the highest %R for Markey. Seems Cambridge has a chance of winning thi

Markey: 18572
Gomez: 2232.

Ouch. They clearly did not like Gomez.

[Cha]

15. Love that ratio in Cambridge.. smart peeps, thanks Mass

[MADem]

16. Gotta wonder who the surly assholes were who went for old Gee Gee! Fools!

They keep claiming that Markey outspent Gee Gee four to one....in my neck of the woods, I saw more Gee Gee (Whee Whee, I am an Aviator - Seal, so I'm SPESH-ULL!!) ads than Markey ones...so I gotta wonder if that's fi-true or bullshit...!
