You have a 76% shot at having your wish granted according to fivethirtyeight (http://www.fivethirtyeight.com/2010/01/538-model-posits-brown-as-31-favorite.html).

It will certainly make things interesting if he wins.

If he wins by a small margin the recounts (and newly discovered boxes of ballots in urban polling places) will continue until he loses. That's the Washington State way and I'd expect no less out of Mass. He needs to win by at least 2%.

Sorta like Florida but opposite. Governor is the brother of potential president and he gets to lord over a recount that even some republicans find dirty. Sounds like fair play to me.:D

You obviously don't know the whole story, but bask in that fact.

or watch fox news so CLEARLY i couldn't possibly know "whole story" give me a fucking break. Bush is no dirtier or cleaner than any other president. Shenanigans have been going on in voting since voting started. LBJ was widely known as the most corrupt vote getter ever.. it was running joke in Texas.

You have to run an incredibly crappy campaign to lose as Democrat in Mass. Cloakley did just that.

I tuned over to MSNBC right after they announced him winning to see what kind of spin they would put on this one. It was really funny.....Rachel Maddow was sitting there disagreeing with Chris Matthews and said it had nothing to do with current spending policy or healthcare.....it was just the normal trend of mid-term elections where the party in power loses seats. Nevermind what the focus groups of voters had to say.....she's a riot.

I think she's even worse than her polar opposite, Ann Coulter. Plenty of liberals criticize Maddow for not having her facts straight on a regular basis....which means she's not just a lib with a strong point of view (which is fine to have as an American), rather she's dishonest and mean spirited (just like her mentor, Olbermann).

With only 13% of the state registered Republican, it is frightening to see the power they just pulled to steal this election. :rolleyes:

Ah.. who am I kidding, I'll chalk it up to Obama finally coming through with his campaign promise of HOPE and CHANGE.
