— Ace I have never heard of this site in my life, and the contributor is, of course, "Anonymous."
I don't really want to even post this.
However, since it is apparently now in the internet stream, I'll mention it, and also offer my extremely strong doubts that these guys have gotten wind of exit polls before, say, the very well-connected Jim Geraghty or other guys at NRO.
Suspicions Confirmed: I asked the tipster on this what confidence he had in it, and he said little, he was just tossing me everything.
Allah also piped up -- John Fund says no exit polls at all (wondered strongly about that-- this isn't a presidential election, after all), and this site claimed a few days ago that Lieberman would endorse Brown, which he didn't.
So, not reliable at all. Just take this as debunking post for your own benefit.

Also, there was snow in the morning, meaning even fewer working stiffs voting in the morning.
Could we see the spectacle of conservatives demanding the polls stay open late?

Even beyond today, I'm speechless that the WH and Democratic leaders have already gone on record as indicating that they don't give a crap about the will of the people. Their only concern now seems to be how they can cheat their way into this horrific health care bill.
It's almost as if these D's that are "retiring" after their current terms have been bought off to ensure their votes before being replaced so that the threat of stiff competition doesn't factor into how they will ultimately vote on the bill.
This administration is scary, scary, scary.

"And in private conversations, Hill sources say White House chief of staff Rahm Emanuel has blamed Coakley, the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee and Democratic pollster Celinda Lake for failing to see BrownÂ’s surge in time to stop it. get the ballot stuffing apparatus in place."

The good thing is that with nothing else to count, the Election Commission should be able to get final numbers quickly. Enough should be in by 10 PM to get a good idea of the result, and if Brown is up by more than 7, enough for networks to call it.

I don't think the lack of exit polling hurts Brown, or helps the Democrats cheat their way to victory.
In fact, since exit polling is much more liable to be faked or manipulated than the actual vote count (partisan conducted/partisan controlled exit polling with no control over who gets polled, or who counts those results), it seems to me that a fraudulent exit poll "showing" a Coakley victory (vs. an actual election result showing Brown won) would be a necessary step in order to frame the race for stealing.
That is to say, it's far easier for the Democrats to pull stuff out of their collective asses (and votes out of car trunks, found "lost" ballot boxes, "incorrectly" disqualified Democrat votes, and the like) if it's "justified" by a "result" which can distract from the actual result: they lost.
This assumes they're going to lose for real, of course.

frankly, i'll be shocked if he pulls it off - by which I mean survives the ballot-stuffing and the crooked recounts which are sure to follow.

Dagny posted a link to that in a prior thread. It first showed 50% of precincts reporting with Marcia at 50%, Brown at 49%, and Kennedy at 1%. It has since been changed to reflect 0% of precincts reporting. I think they were trying to pull a fast one. Normally there is no reporting until the polls close.

margin of fraud = 4.8%, per someone I don't recall. i think based on the absentee irregularities.
so, he has to beat her by 4.9% just to clear the technical hurdle. figure that the recount gets em another 2-3% and you're looking at a required margin of victory of, conservatively, 8%, to break even.
not gonna happen, folks.

Actually, it started as rdbrewer's poll. I just starting compiling it to move it to the next thread, and the next, and the next (I've not gotten a lot of work done today but knew that ahead of time). Let's go with close on either the + or - side.
Rasmussen has stepped up and will pay for his own exit poll because the drive-by media didn't do it or don't want to know what happened to Marxism in Mass.

How do you set up an exit poll with so little time? It takes a lot of people, AND if he were doing this we'd have heard about it from Brown Field workers. Anyone in MA seen a pollster?
Rass would be selling it, anyone seen a ad for the results.
Rass is NOT a non profit outfit. I smell Bullshit.

OMG! Thanks so much for posting that ! Heh! Where's the Beef? Heh! Scott St. Clair (who was the reporter in the vid) use to live in my city. He is a great conservative, and use to have an editorial column in our local newser, The Kirkland Courier. (He regularly made moonbat heads spin, there were always letters to the editor the following week, complaining about his last column). He is a really smart, articulate guy, and went head to head with King County when they were setting up "Tent City" here on the Eastside which resulted in the county having to have more restrictions and regulations on these homeless encampments (which was huge, even though we couldn't stop them from setting them up). He moved about a year ago down to Olympia to go work for the Evergreen Freedom Foundation. It was cool to see him on the video. I believe he has two sons who have served in Iraq and Stan.

Heather, I'm with you. Scott is displaying prescience in calling for lawyers to volunteer for his campaign. He's smart. He knows what happened in MN and WA state's gubenatorial election in 2004. He's preparing ahead of time (something that Rossi and Coleman didn't do). Hopefully, the cheaters will not prevail.

These photos, courtesy of Election Journal, shows numerous examples of the Martha Coakley campaign and their lack of recognition of election laws in their illegal attempt to influence voters in today's special election in Massachusetts. I am sure this would already be frontpage news and all over the networks if those signs said "Scott Brown."

Looking at the Kerry rally for Crockly I figured out why Liberal Pols are so sure they are smarter than the Conservatives. I know that the crowd that was there was chanting Brainsss, Brainssss, mmmmmmBrainss. Not having one Kerry was safe, but he heard the chant and assumed the crowd was calling him Brainssss.
Another side effect of this is that when Conservative Pols run across a Zombie cluster they flee, while the Lib stays, gives a speech, wins their votes. Not having a brain anyway they are safe, and the zombies appreciate the attention and trust – explaining why the dead vote breaks so far to the left.

An exit poll is useless in MA since the districts vary so much.
For instance an exit poll in Boston will definitely show Coakley with a big lead whereas as an exit poll in Marlborough will show Brown leading.
Unless a pollster has exit polls in dozens of places and gives you an average, disregard them.

"Isabel Melendez, the community activist who came close to becoming the stateÂ’s first elected Latino mayor when she ran for the Lawrence post in 2001, has announced she wonÂ’t seek the job next year.
Instead, she said she is throwing her support behind former city councilor Israel Reyes, who recently announced his intention to run for the office.
Melendez’s announcement ends speculation that the 70-year-old would make a second run for the city’s top municipal spot when Mayor Michael J. Sullivan leaves office because of term limits. For months now, Spanish-language radio stations and local newspapers have mentioned Melendez as a possible candidate.”This is the lady, is Lawrence, MA where the Police Union endorsed Coakley?

Malkin:
They’ve just posted video of a woman in Lawrence, MA, carrying around blank absentee ballots in Spanish today. She explains how she’s telling people to mark Martha Coakley’s name. The woman handing out the ballots identifies herself as “Isabel Melendez” and says she has a talk show in which she promoted Coakley’s candidacy.
More on Melendez: She’s a “community activist” in Lawrence who has run for public office before.
HereÂ’s a piece from 2003 on her involvement in aggressive voter registration campaigns:
Melendez, who said her fire for community activism was fueled by her own frustrations trying to make a good life for herself in Lawrence after emigrating from Puerto Rico, has been personally registering local residents to vote for several years. Now she hopes to take that a step further with a volunteer program that will go beyond registrations. Although the plan is in its infancy, Melendez said that in a nutshell, she envisions a team of volunteers on election days combing voter lists and asking those who havenÂ’t voted to please come out.
“It will benefit the community as a whole,” she said..” Since my arrival here, I’ve noticed that the voter-participation percentage has gone down. And it ’s not just Latinos; it ’s everyone in Lawrence. I want to motivate everyone to vote.”

Plumline:
Posted at 01/19/2010, 12:31 PM EST Dems Take Comfort From High Turnout In BostonA Democratic operative tells me that Dems are taking a bit of comfort from the fact that turnout is higher than they expected in Boston, which obviously would be Martha CoakleyÂ’s best hope of pulling out a victory.
“We’re hitting our targets and we’re feeling pretty good,” the operative says.
That said, the operative also concedes reports are coming in of high turnout across the state in precincts outside of Boston. One key question is what turnout is looking like on the Democratic Irish Catholic South Shore, in towns like Braintree and Weymouth, Dem strongholds where Obama barely eeked out victories. Brown has aggressively targeted these voters.
The operative declined to say what turnout levels were in those towns. But if reports are coming in of uniformly good turnout, as the Dem suggested, presumably turnout is also high in those areas, which bodes well for Brown.
Also lending confort to the Brown camp, one Brown adviser tells MSNBC, is that the lines are longer outside Boston than inside it. But Dems are hoping that the higher population in Boston will, if current turnout levels hold, tip things their way.

More Plumline:
Massachusetts Miscellany: Dirty-Trick Robocalls?* Dirty trick watch: A Massachusetts resident tells me he got a robocall misleadingly drawing a link between Ted Kennedy and the libertarian candidate in the race for his seat, Joe Kennedy — a call the recipient took as an effort to “confuse the elderly.”
Sam Hassan, a sales manager from Cohasset, tells me he got a robocall this afternoon connecting “Joe Kennedy with the late Kennedy,” in what sounded like an effort to hoodwink “elderly people who don’t know that Joe Kennedy, the Senator’s nephew, is not the Joe Kennedy who’s running for that seat.”
“It said that Joe Kennedy will carry on the Kennedy legacy,” Hassan says, and that “Kennedy is a name you can trust.” Hassan adds that the call said it was paid for not by the Joe Kennedy campaign but by some other group he’d never heard of, suggesting the possibility that the call is designed merely to snooker Martha Coakley voters into supporting the libertarian.

News from one of my 3 sisters in Boston:
"Have not heard much today. Of course, as late as this morning the polls are saying that Brown is ahead but I canÂ’t bank on that until I see it for myself. I have watched the local coverage on all of the channels and I think the people are fed up and I think they respect the campaign that Scott Brown has run.
We are planning to go and vote after work. It was snowing/flurrying here earlier this morning but nothing that is sticking. ItÂ’s just rain now. That could be why the city turn out has not been that great. I am hoping for a victory for Brown! This would be a major upset. I certainly plan to be glued in front of the television this evening to watch the results."

From UniversalHUB.com:
Election-day shocker: City enforces 150-foot rule at Holy Name School
Around 12:30 p.m., a worker from the Boston Elections Department showed up at Holy Name School in West Roxbury to begin removing all of the Coakley and Brown signs festooning the wall and fence along West Roxbury Parkway and Centre Street.
The school, which sits on a rise, is traditionally a place where candidates position giant signs - and candidates themselves routinely position themselves right in front of the entrance to the polling station. Mayor Menino himself is a frequent voter accoster on those steps, despite a state law that bans politicking within 150 feet of the entrance to a polling place.
But not today. Even a Brown supporter expressed surprise - he said he figured some Brown person "from the suburbs" dropped a dime and filed a complaint. Even more upset was a Coakley supporter - to whom the election worker was busy handing over signs, one far larger than the supporter herself. The worker said she would either have to do something with the signs or he would just cart them away for disposal.

Boston Herald's Howie Carr. More Coakley Foot In Mouth disease:
On Sunday I called Coakley “Mike Dukakis in a skirt.” I would now like to apologize to Mike Dukakis.
Did you see this woman on Ch. 25 yesterday? Does she ever take her foot out of her mouth? She claimed she’s been running a “positive” campaign - you know, like Chuck Schumer calling Scott Brown a “teabagger.” Then she said her big problems have been “bad weather” and “the holidays” - Christmas, in other words. You should check out the whole thing. She’s not standing for the big insurance companies, even though she went down to D.C. last week to pick up some cash from them.
You want irony? Do you realize that if the state Democrats hadnÂ’t changed the Senate succession law twice in the past five years, they wouldnÂ’t be in meltdown mode this morning?
Their lame (soon-to-be) lame-duck governor could have appointed whatever stiff he wanted.
Irony? HereÂ’s another one: Steve Lynch, the congressman from Southie, was basically kicked to the curb by the unions because he wasnÂ’t gung-ho enough for their scheme to destroy health care. Maybe he couldnÂ’t have won the Democrat primary last month, but a couple of things you can say about Lynch.
Unlike Martha, he knows who Curt Schilling roots for, and he also knows that there are still terrorists in Afghanistan. Come to think of it, IÂ’ll bet he can also spell Massachusetts.
This is Martha yesterday on the voters she says are wrong: “I think they’re gonna send someone to Massachusetts who has a proven record.”
That would be you, Martha. You’ll be the one we “send” to Massachusetts. Scott Brown we’ll send to Washington.

Posted January 19, 2010 12:50 PM
by Paul West
President Barack Obama's top political advisor, David Axelrod, said today that if the White House had been asked earlier, more could have been done for embattled Democratic Senate candidate Martha Coakley in Massachusetts.
Axelrod, in a question and answer session with reporters, said it was too soon for "post-mortems" on the special election to fill the late Sen. Edward M. Kennedy's seat. And for the record, he said that he still expected Coakley to win.
But it didn't take much reading between the lines to see that the president and his team are preparing to back-pedal as swiftly as humanly possible to distance Obama from a disastrous result tonight...
Ultimately, he said, voters will have to "make a judgment" about which party and its candidates offer "the best possibility for progress for them and their families" and "is fighting for the middle class." And which party is beholden to"powerful interests"--like the insurance companies and big banks--and protecting "the status quo."
Uhhmmm, Dipwad David, haven't the voters made a judgment about your overreaching conceit and arrogance, your nonstop spending, your broken promises and outright lies, your manipulation of the truth, your holding average people in contempt, your attacking of people who don't agree with you, the outrageous things we have learned about your Czars and cozy relationship with SEIU and ACORN, the pettiness and whining of your White House, the propaganda the NEA tried to pump out, that Scott Brown is a better, more likeable candidate who has simply out-campaigned your Dede Scazafafa candidate, the unpopularity of ObamaCare, or the rising unemployment under your watch? Why you speak to that, Dipwad?

HuffPo on how Brown's campaign is kicking Coakley's ass with social media:
The (Coakley) event was held at Northeastern University and sponsored by the Student Democrats. Quick. How do college students communicate? Facebook and SMS of course! Yet these two forms of communications played absolutely no formal part in the rally. The brochure that was handed out had no web addresses or social media sites. At the rally, Coakley fans were asked to vote. They were asked to volunteer at phone banks. They were asked to talk to neighbors and friends.
But were the many college students in the crowd told to talk up the Coakley campaign on Facebook, the college student communications tool of choice? No. Were people at the rally asked to tweet? No. Were they asked to join Coakley's fan page? No.
The Coakley campaign is underestimating the importance of social media and the new rules of marketing and PR.
John McCain relied on what worked to elect George W. Bush and he lost mainly because of social media. Now Martha Coakley is relying on the playbook that elected Ted Kennedy and she may lose because of social media too.
Let's look at some numbers, from Legal Insurrection:
As of Monday morning, Republican Scott Brown has 76,538 fans on his Facebook page; Martha Coakley has 14,441 fans.
On Twitter, Brown has 10,187 followers compared to Coakley's 3,514 followers.
The total uploaded views for Brown's YouTube videos are 578,271 versus 51,173 for Coakley.
On the eve of voting in Massachusetts, CNN's Eric Kuhn notes that Republican Scott Brown's campaign has been effectively tapping into new media, and now has "dramatically more followers on social networks" than Democrat Martha Coakley.
Damn, these guys are good.
Yeah, but give them $20 apiece, and SEIU and ACORN will fill up Coakley's numbers.
Wait, isn't that astroturfing?
