MA Senate - Special Election Results thread

[muon2]

First precincts are up on boston.com.

Southhampton is complete at 59-40 for Brown. It's in the fairly-D Conn valley and was just about 50% for Patrick in 06 so that's some measure of the shift.

About a fifth of Lynn is in and Coakley only leads there by 3%.

A place where Patrick had a 2-1 advantage on Healey.

Western Mass is going heavily for Coakley

The demographics and voting are similar to VT.

The bellwether of Waltham (where I once lived) is at 50-49 for Brown with 89% in.

I know! I've been following it too. Didn't know Waltham had it in her, bless her heart.

I didn't know you were back. Good to see you.

Ok, now I am getting convinced. Brown seems to be pulling it.

Though, an interesting sideline: have you noticed the Western part of the state?

Yes - it's called the Berkshires.  Fascinating class voting patterns but pretty Democratic (even with Coakley)

Remember, it's immediately south of VT, with similar demographics.

Well they came off the ganja break and brown won Lowell 52-47.

That's amazing in a traditional old mill city.
