Brown-Coakley Exit Polls, Election Results

Chime in on our election day Open Thread!

Jumping in Pools was one of the first blogs on the internet to call the 2009 New Jersey governor's race for Republican Chris Christie.

UPDATE: Coakley claims 'voter fraud.'

From all of the data from news sources, polls, and important pundits, we'd like to make the following estimates:

Scott Brown (R) 49.4%
Martha Coakley (D) 47.0%
Kennedy (L) 3.6%


We have word of heavy turnout in less-liberal areas of Massachusetts. There is also snowfall in far-left regions of the state.

Stay tuned to Jumping in Pools for election night coverage!

From September Until Now: A Graph of Brown's Rise and Coakley's Fall in Massachusetts

Looking around the internet, I noticed a severe lack of graphical annotations of the Massachusetts polls between Scott Brown and Martha Coakley. So I put the impetus on myself and created one, to show exactly how badly Coakley has squandered her gigantic lead and how bad she has run her campaign.
Click for much better quality.

As the graph clearly shows, Scott Brown has shot up especially since November of 2009, with Coakley decidedly dropping during the same time period. In November, Coakley had a thirty-one percent lead over Brown. In fact, at that time Brown did not even have 31% support from voters.

So here's to Scott Brown! And thanks to RealClearPolitics for the polling data.

Weekly Standard Reporter Shoved Outside of Democratic Fundraiser

No comment means no comment. When Martha Coakley was asked a question by John McCormack of The Weekly Standard she elected not to answer. Michael Meehan was caught on videotape adding an exclamation point to her response.

Meehan initialy claimed that McCormack " fell over a low fence but then changed his response when told the incident was captured on video.

Coakley was quoted as saying she was not "privy" to the facts surrounding the incident, although a still photo shows her looking on as the incident occurred.

Coakley stated "I know there were people following, including two from the Brown campaign who have been very aggressive in their stalking," she said. "I'm not sure what happened. I know something occurred, but I'm not privy to the facts. I'm sure it will come out, but I'm not aware of it."

Sounds like a little bit of paranoia is infiltrating the Coakley campaign.

The following video shows the incident in question.



Fox News has a nice writeup on the incident here.

It's nice to see the new tone adopted by the Democratic party as of late. So much for civility.
