I think the only real liberty candidate, libertarian Joe Kennedy, really put a dent in Coakley's vote total.

Sad more Americans didn't vote for the only choice for freedom.

So, if Brown pulls out the win, how long will the Dems try to stall swearing him in to office?

No time at all, because Brown is simply a Democrat-lite.

I agree They had the opportunity to vote for small government and more freedom and instead vote for more war more spending and a larger government.

I am grow tired of hearing both sides cry about our government, but do nothing about it, but keep putting the same exact thing into office.

Did not someone say something like, if you do the same thing over and over and expect a different result that is insanity?

The truth is it does not matter who won, the government will continue to swell and enlarge like a giant pig at an endless trough.

36% in....

52-47 Brown. Boston has only reported in about 10% though. Martha is running 56-43 there so far. Looks like it might be closer than I thought.

Kennedy is running at 1%.

Americans will continue to whine about government and continue electing the same people over and over again. It's a sad situation.

Well I guess it was Massachusetts so we shouldn't have expected much. Kennedy put together a great campaign and actually received a significant amount of media attention so I'm surprised by his low vote total.

I think Kennedy has set himself up for a nice future within the LP. I would say he is nearly assured of the party Presidential nomination as he seemed to appease moderates and non-moderates alike.

True. But you are not going to win that fight in Massechusetts this time around. There are 10 months until midterm elections. Take what you can get for now.

Boston is only 44% in. They won't call it until at least 60% is in there. That's where most of her votes come from.

What a shocker, the Dems are alleging voter shenanigans

http://www.digitalnewsreport.com/2010/01/19-massachusetts-senate-race-update/2521
“We’ve received several independent and disturbing reports of voters across the state being handed ballots that are already marked in favor of Scott Brown,” Campaign Manager Kevin Conroy said on the Coakley website. “This is obviously a serious violation, and our legal team is taking immediate steps to protect the integrity of this election.”
