Aside from turning everything upside down in one month, I'm told by people we have on this, top people, there's a chilled bottle of champange waiting up in his room,

And a single-serving cup of butterscotch pudding next to it.

Room temperature.

More [DrewM.]: The internet finally started to work, so I wanted to at least post something.

Go Balloons! Go Balloons!

BTW-Brown just introduced his lovely daughters and said they are both available.

If anyone can find my post where I predicted Brown would lose by 30% please leave a link. I want to dip my balls in just how wrong I was.

Thanks to Dave in Texas for letting me add a little goofiness.

[Dave]: oh shut up you lug this was your idea!

Crowd: "Gas up the truck! Gas up the truck!"

"Forty-one! Forty-one! Forty one!" (looking ahead to forty first GOP vote in Senate)

Brown: "This seat belongs to no party, this is the people's seat!

("People's seat! People's seat!")

I have spoken to Senator Paul Kirk, and he has completed his work as Senator."

("Seat him now! Seat him now!")

"I am ready to go to Washington and begin my work without delay."

Now he's talking about Ted Kennedy. And how his name will always be remembered with respect.

Yeah.

Ted Kennedy's Dream Dies of Chronic Alcoholism and Pissed Off Tea Partiers, But Mostly... Well, It's a Muddle of Both Isn't It?

Respect like that I imagine.

Brown: "I thought it was just me against the machine. But it was us against the machine. Tonight -- you are the machine!"

Hmmm. Both of his daughters are available to date, he says. Damn, he is a good campaigner.

Challenges Obama to a basketball game on phone. Will take his baller daughter Ayla and Obama's best second and play two on two.

"Time to get down to the people's business."

Thanks John Kerry (um), Paul Kirk (um), and Mitt Romney.

("Mitt! Mitt! Mitt! Mitt!")

Wants to say hello to his "new colleague, John McCain."

"The people do not want a trillion-dollar health care bill.... We can do better."

"Prosecutions exist to protect us... Our tax dollars should pay to protect us, not pay their lawyers."

Talks about Democrats not thinking they could lose.

"What happened in Massachusetts can happen all over America."

Damnit, I had this ten minutes ago-- I was told, in the bathroom, Brown was on his way. Coakley had called in her concession.

I was fighting my way back to blogger's row but couldn't get here -- It is as Jammed as a Frigging Frat House. You cannot move. You cannot get to the bar. You cannot get to the bathroom.

You cannot go outside, because it is SRO, and if you go outside, you can't come back in until the room thins.

It is raucus.

BTW: Part of the reason for the delay is I met Ken Pippin, the guy who elicited Coakley's response that Catholics maybe shouldn't work in emergency rooms -- and probably changed the race by 1 or 2 entire points.

He says that Massachusetts is now open to GOP candidates again.

Oh, and his producer says keep him in mind for Talker of the Year -- since he elicited a Killer Quote, seems deserved.

Pippin was wearing a Van Halen t-shirt, incidentally. Total 80s metalguy. I liked him.

Chant: John Kerry's next!

John Kerry's next!

John Kerry's next!

John Kerry's next!

John Kerry's next!

For those of you not watching but tracking on the intertubes, DrewM tells me the nets are croaking at Brown HQ. Ace is posting via Blackberry right now.

Since the Globe's web servers are also dancing the watusi across the office, here's another results tracking link. 65% of precincts reporting, Brown 53%, Coakley 46%.

Me, I'm home, just grilled a steak, and I have my own celebration planned shortly. *looks longingly at that big bowl of guacamole dip*

Oh yeah.

UPDATE: AP calls it for Brown. Coakley makes the phone call. Pudding is room temperature.

My shot, then Drew's shot.

As you probably know, it's kind of over.

One of the Cook report's guys already called it, saying if he were at a network, he'd make the call.

Soon.

I would try to trick him to pose with pudding but that would be dirty pool.

Talledega Nights quote, in case you don't recognize it.

Damnit... Tricked Time's Karen Tumulty to pose with me as I held the pudding but I held it in the wrong hand and now either Slu has to photoshop me out or I don't know what.

I am sort of drunk. It was so obvious to hold it in the other hand. What a fucking idiot.

Says the pudding idea is hilarious, but declines to be photographed holding the Pudding of Wrath.

Probably anecdotal, but says it's a funeral at Coakley's. Or, as I call her after 2 1/2 drinks, "Cokewhore."
