Noting that the AP link no worky- so boston.com is probably best for now.

You have to append ?SITE=AP to the AP URL to get it to work, thus.

Thanks.

On my laptop, with the TV in front of me.

Are all the networks covering it?  I know FOX and MSNBC are.

Fox is concerned with it; I think CNN is covering it too.

I'm guessing they all will.  I just know FOX and MSNBC are, since they were covering it when I flipped through.  CNN was on Haiti, but I'm guessing they'll switch over in 10-20 minutes or so.

I'll just watch it.  It takes for ever to download.

I seriously doubt CNN will cover it as much as the other two will.

Your spread sheet has more bells and whistles than an aircraft carrier. You must have spent a lot of time constructing it!  I assume that you will be instantly able per your forumlas to see both the pvi and turnout differentials instantly as you enter the numbers town by town. You really are a political junkie aren't you?  

I didn't try to do much with PVI.  My PVI chart will look like this:


Lean Republican is probably a relative term in Massachusetts.

Yea, CNN has video of Anderson Cooper saving children from food riots. They have better things to cover.

It works fine for me. I don't have cable.

I still have a dialup.  It is not the link, but my connection.

CNN might have the updates on their site.  I'll check.

FYI -

The spreadsheet uses Boston Globe spelling logic - the kind where Easthampton ends up in between East Danvers and East Hartford.  Data should be exported from the Boston Globe's table.  You can do that by right-clicking on the table at the Globe's results link in Internet Explorer, selecting "Export to Microsoft Excel",  finding and replacing all " of*" (Space of*) with nothing, deleting the turnout column C, deleting rows 2 and 3, and then pasting what's left into the "Imported Results Data" sheet of my spreadsheet.

In theory.

LOL. Chris Matthews just forgot Scott Brown's name.

[Queen Mum Inks.LWC]

I didn't find anything on CNN, which is odd for them - maybe when the polls close they'll get something up?

[Psychic Octopus]

LOL. Chris Matthews just forgot Scott Brown's name.

LOL I just saw that.

To be fair, when you're on TV that much, you're bound to have a brain fart every once  in a while. *cough*Shepherd Smith*cough*

CNN just said all of the people at Coakley HQ are downcast and looking disappointed

[Sam Spade]

Hey I forgot the most important question of ALL!!!

Who did DAVE LEIP vote for?

(doesn't he live in Mass or something) 

[Iosif]

For reference.

Statistically, probably Brown.  The Coakley campaign gave up on male Independents long ago

That's not surprising. The media has been pretty sold on the polls the past couple of weeks, not a whole of things to be happy about on their side.

[Psychic Octopus]

Huh. I wonder who Dave voted for. He's so independent, he makes independents look like partisans.

[Queen Mum Inks.LWC]

Lol - I totally forgot.  I don't think he ever weighed in at all on this one.

[Eraserhead]

Leip PMed me and told me that he voted for Kennedy.

It seems a big part of the problem was the Coakley campaign.

Leip PMed me and told me that he voted for Kennedy.

I almost said that I'd guess that.
