who and how count the votes in the "commonwealth" anyways....??

Don't worry Karl. With old friend Billy Galvin in charge of the ballot counting, Martha is a shoe in. Billy likes to change the rules to suit his cronies, like Martha. He's already cut down on the timeframe for absentee ballots to be sent out and received. I'll bet that most of the absentee ballots from military personnel overseas just happen to come in too late to be counted. Or, they'll never make it overseas in the first place.

As comical as this sounds, they've already proven that they can't follow the rules, even they're own rules.
Let's see how this pans out.
I wouldn't put it past the Dems to try some last minute shenanigans to disallow or eliminate "certain" votes from being counted if they feel that "Ted Kennedy's" seat may be lost.

I loved Scott Brown's correction that "This is not Ted Kennedy's seat, nor the Democrats seat.....It's the PEOPLE'S SEAT!"
The dems seemed to have forgotten that.

I also liked how Brown called both Coakley and the moderator with corrections to their "misleading" comments about his record.

Let's all get out and vote next Tuesday!

Kirk and the Senate Democratic leadership are already talking about delaying Brown's swearing-in until after the vote on the health care bill, should he pull off the upset.

The fact that they're even publicly discussing this means that they think he has a decent chance of winning.

They've even resorted to thuggery. This happened last night in DC. A reporter tried to ask Coakley if she stood by her statement that there were no terrorists left in Afghanistan. She refused to answer, then had one of her people try to prevent the reporter from following her and trying to get an answer. He actually pushed the guy to the ground and then helped him up, but still tried to block him from getting close. These types of incidents aren't going to help her.
