— Ace All paraphrased. I'm drunk and don't have a pad.
On money-bomb: We raised well above $1 million a day but didn't say so. One day was substantially higher than one million, and it was a couple or three days after the much-publicized Monday money-bomb. We were worried about even doing it, for fear of alarming Coakley.
On Voter-Bomb: We well exceeded expectations.
On Tea Partiers: Amazing intensity, people flying in on their own dime to man the phone banks.
On Comparisons to McDonnell Campaign: He worked on that one too -- he says that one was "boring" because it was so obvious. He declines to call this one boring at all. He refuses to endorse my 10+ margin prediction and says it will be close -- he's just hoping for north of 5.
But he does think it's 5 or thereabouts.
On the Race: He, yes, does think we will win, and I informed him it was after 8 and he no longer had to brave-face it. He wants north of 5, but that's as good as he hopes for.
Incidentally, Brown walked in 15 minutes ago but I couldn't blog that.
I am handing out pudding to people I deem "dip-worthy."

Really?
I'd say that means they are confident in particular poll(s).

I know, I know...it ain't over till we've won. But I've got a good feeling.
My girlfriend just teabagged with me to celebrate. I figured that was more fun that using pudding.

If Ace is drunk already, I better get another drink. Meanwhile, a Malkin update:
Update 8:13pm Eastern. Rasmussen did an Election Night survey of 1,000 voters. Preliminary findings:
* Among those who decided how they would vote in the past few days, Coakley has a slight edge, 47% to 41%.
* Coakley also has a big advantage among those who made up their mind more than a month ago.
* Seventy-six percent (76%) of voters for Brown said they were voting for him rather than against Coakley.
* Sixty-six percent (66%) of Coakley voters said they were voting for her rather than against Brown.
* 22% of Democrats voted for Brown. That is generally consistent with pre-election polling.

Geraghty just called it for Brown over at NRO.
Obama Towns Are Flipping To Scott Brown. Early Night, Folks.
In 2008, Ashland, Massachusetts went for Obama over McCain, 5,039 votes to 3,181.
Tonight Brown won Ashland 54 percent to 45 percent - 3,467 for Brown while Coakley carried 2,897.
You can call it, folks.

How pathetic is it that both Lexington and Concord are going huge for Coakley? It's bad enough that Massechussets as a whole has forgotten the meaning of individual liberty, but the residents of those two places you'd think would have the concept burned into their DNA.
OT, but sort of on: Matteo over at the Cartago Delenda Est blog said this yesterday:
"It occurs to me that if someone refers to someone else as a 'teabagger', then the appropriate response would be: 'If you're going to call him a 'teabagger', then is it okay if I refer to you as a 'c*cksucker'? Because the two terms mean essentially the same thing."
Pretty fucking good point.

Somehow this Dead Kennedys tune, Government Flu, seems appropriate. The Lyrics, since they suck so hard you can't possibly understand this shit:
"Government Flu"
We got a drug
We're gonna try it out on you
Won't make you die
It'll getcha just a little bit sick
[Chorus]
Got a head cold
Got a chest cold
And it's three days old
(Goin' on forever)
Make you hazy
Make you lazy
Drive you crazy
For days and days and days and days and days
And years
Barely got the time now
To stay on the job
Double up the dosage in your water supply
Make you even sicker 'til you're slippin' away
Getting all depressed
It's getting all your friends
You can't get it up
For nothing that'll rock the boat
The government flu
The government flu
The government flu
Slip it abroad
Keep a-slowin' down the USSR
But meanwhile
We'll keep an eye
On what it's doin' to you
[Chorus]
Got a head cold
Got a chest cold
And it's three days old
(Goin' on forever)
Make you hazy
Make you lazy
Drive you crazy
For days and days and days and days and days
And days and days and days and days and days
And days and days and days and days and days
And years
The government flu
The government flu
The government flu
Flew
Through
You
