1 Ace, we miss you when you are "lost". Bag any hobos?

2

I predict a Brownslide.

Brown-a-lanche!

3 (BTW, I almost wish I was still living out there.)

4 Sorry about this lame post, I often need "ice-breaker" posts to get me going.

Ace's idea of foreplay?

5 Not a lame post, this is good information and updating. Got back from lunch wondering what was up with the Brown/Coakley race, and sure enough, here is the latest "no spin zone" information. Thanks.

6 Ace... Don't jinks it...

7 I hope your "lost weekend" was a fun lost weekend.  It amazes me how much time my favorite bloggers spend on this stuff.  Everyone needs a break.

Also, quite apologizing. 

We need to pass the hat and send you to one of those executive coaches.  The first thing they teach is to never apologize.  It sounds bad, but really when you think about it, how often do any of us really do something that warrants an apology?  Except, perhaps, to the families of the hobos you've harvested. 

8 If Chokely loses tomorrow, will Obama still give himself a B+ for his support? Just askin'....

9 Feed us.

10

I don't mean to pat myself on the back too hard but I did say (albeit in the comments) "This is going to happen. Wrap your minds around that."

Shouldn't you saving that line for Wednesday?

11 Maybe they'll try and pass healthcare tonight?

12 FROM BROWNTOWN!

13

To paraphrase Ray School Buy Driver Nagin.

At the end of the day, Massachusetts will be a BROWN state a CHOCOLATE state.

 

Hahahahahahhahahaahahhaaha.  Libtards, I'd suggest you get used to having your asses handed to you.  It's time for payback.

14 @9

Spank us! 

15 NEW! Powdered Cinnamon Toast. It's BROWN.

16 Gold plated diapers for everyone!

17 Sorry about this lame post, I often need "ice-breaker" posts to get me going.

I thought you needed a case of Val-U-Rite and a tub of Ben-Gay.

18
They'd better show to vote for Brown.  If it isn't close,  they (Dems) can't cheat.

19 http://www.youtube.com/scottbrownma#p/a/u/0/CCcxxnBNwUM

20 No premature ball dipping...we can do it tomorrow night around 11 0r 12...not before. Win...chocolate sauce lose... tabasco sauce.

21

If the Brown voters don't bother, you know what THAT means... more ballots for us!

22 I'd love to be a fly on the wall in the Oval Office. I wonder if Obama is losing his shit yet?

23 If Brown wins it'll be the 'shout' heard 'round the world.

24

I predict all night ballot printing at DNC HQ.

Still have a bad feeling that a bunch of Coakly ballots will show days or weeks after the election.

25

2 I predict a Brownslide.

That sounds so... wrong

26 41.

27 MSNBC circling the wagons for Croakley. Love me some shadenfreude!

28 Good morning, ace.

29 #25  Bawney Fwank doesn't think so...

30 Curious as to how the race is going in Barney Frank's district. Any Mororns/Moron-ettes up there who can give a report?

31 22 I'd love to be a fly on the wall in the Oval Office. I wonder if Obama is losing his shit yet?

I'm sure he'll chalk it up to two things: (1) she didn't adhere strictly enough to his socialist platform and (2) it's an election involving typical white candidates voted for mainly by typical white people. 

32 I see our fellow moron Rob Crawford got a quote over at the PuppyBlender's blog:

Today Instapundit, tomorrow the world!

33 J.J.: nice escape from the stalag. Did you ever get that reward?

34
I just don't want you guys to feel like Ned Lamont supporters on Wednesday morning.

35 Welcome back, Ace!  You think you had a lost weekend?  Moron nation was adrift and heading for the shoals without you here.

36 Sound the brown note!

37 Don't miss our James Earl Ray t-shirt give away at all KFC's across the state! We're turning the tide people!!

38 >>> Don't jinks it...

okay. 

Hey, where are the trolls?

39 Don't get cocky!!!!  This thing is far from over.  After all it is Mass. which is bluer than NJ, the Kennedy's, ACORN, SEIU and the Dems are not going to give up with out cheating. 

40 I just don't want you guys to feel like Ned Lamont supporters on Wednesday morning.

Laying in a smelly sleeping bag with a used condom hanging out your ass listening to Kos snoring? I don't ever plan on feeling like that.

41 I always wondered how Ace got his mojo.

42 32  It was a good one, too.  Kudos to Rob.

43

Dingo 31,I'm sure [Obama]'ll chalk [Coakley's FAIL] up to two things: ...(2) it's an election involving typical white candidates voted for mainly by typical white people.

I believe that Obama, thin-skinned wuss that he is, can be provoked into saying something along those lines. I'm more confident in predicting that his lovely wife will say it. Expand that to black academics and opinion-writers and the probability quickly approaches 1.

44 Does anyone know what time the polls close in MA?  I keep seeing that 'we'll know around 11 or 12' comment, but I think you're assuming we wait until all the results are in.  If this is the landslide it increasingly appears to be, I think FNC will announce early (so we can watch the horror on MSNBC later).

45 i will be watching on MSNBC, myself. 

I think a liveblog would be fun.

46 How bout them Cowboys? What too soon?

47
haha, Fred Smerlas and Steve Diosse are giving Doug Flutie shit for endorsing Hillary Clinton in '08

48 So pumped for tomorrow!

49 I am still hoping for a win, hard, partly because if Brown loses, I'll feel bad for encouraging hope. Oh, not as bad as you're going to feel when I cockpunch you for getting my hopes up, Ace. Here I am trying to maintain my cyinicism and fatalism in the face of adversity, and you go and get my slacks all afluster at the thought of a Republican taking over the same Senate chair that St. Teddy was sitting in. If Brown loses, I'm going to transfer all the heart-ache I feel into kicks to your nuts. If he wins, on the other hand, I shall foward authentic US currency to your accounts to pay for a legendary Val-U-Rite-fueled bacchanal.

50 Sorry if I spread any unwarrented rumors about your MIA, but I did read it here on the blog first.

51 I think the trolls are busy staffing Coakley's phone bank.

52 I think Ace just doesn't want to admit he woke up between a dead hobo and a live Scandi.

53 Si se puede!

54

 (so we can watch the horror on MSNBC later).

This will be the first time in a very long time I will be tuning in to MSNBC.  Heads will be exploding and very stupid things will be said.

55 AAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.......... YYYEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS................

56 aha, Fred Smerlas and Steve Diosse are giving Doug Flutie shit for endorsing Hillary Clinton in '08 Posted by: Chief Seattle at January 18, 2010 02:21 PM (z37MR) Did Flutie really support Clinton? He is campaigning for Brown right now?

57

This just in: Alex Rodriguez of the New England Bruins has endorsed my campaign!

We're rolling to Washington, Baby!

58 Socialism: can we UNDO it?

Yes we can.

59 Brown-outs all over Massachusett(e)s tomorrow.

60 Hope and Change!

61 Breaking: Jan Brady of the New England Patriots has endorsed Marcia! Marcia! Marcia!

62
Yeah, I guess Hillary got a lot of money for autism, which is one of Flutie's things

63 Did Flutie really support Clinton? He is campaigning for Brown right now?

Posted by: nevergiveup at January 18, 2010 02:24 PM (0GFWk)

A lot of Clinton supporters are very enthused about Brown (see:  Hillbuzz blog).  Many are still really pissed that she lost the nomination to the fascist fraud.

64 This is going to neuter Obama across the board. NEUTER (or is it spay?)

65 #44 Methos..I heard this morning on Fox news that the polls close at 8:00 PM.

66 A live-blog tomorrow would be, hopefully, awesome.

67 So sweet! Copenhagen III. Massive, gargantuan FAIL.

68 54

 (so we can watch the horror on MSNBC later).

I actually did turn on MSNBC earlier, but I then realized that the real fun would begin with Tingles Matthews later on. Plus, I got hives from my first few minutes of watching earlier.

69

I'm wondering what will come out of Chris Matthew's head when it asplode.

thinking...Hot dogs, Ex-Lax, and Katie Couric's pantyhose

70 Chuck is miffed that people who point out the record cold temps don't get it that cold is yet more proof of warming. As is brisk. And lukewarm.

71 Is MSNBC in mourning over the soon to be end of the progressive agenda?

72

Off Topic: Is the Ace conference still in the plans for spring? I need to decide where/when to use vacation.

73 Bob Beckel, strop up yer straignt razor fat boy.

74 on the ground.

75 Am I the only one who thinks that the lefties might attempt voter fraud to steal this election?

I was unhappy when Obama was elected President, but never would I support election fraud to prevent that outcome.  This is America, not some 3rd world corruptocracy.  As an American, I support the legitimacy of the candidates elected by the people, even if I do not approve of them.

The problem is that the left does not believe in democracy.  They pay lip service to it of course, especially when they think doing so will get them what they want.  But when it comes right down to it they don't believe in the notion of the majority rule.  They believe that the "right" people should be in charge and make decisions for everyone else.  When the majority refuses to vote for the left's preferred candidates, the lefties have no qualms about subverting the electoral process. 

It may be that Brown is so far ahead that the lefties will not able able to commit enough voter fraud to overcome his lead.  It may be that the level and extent of the fraud necessary would be so extreme and so blatant that it would below up in their faces.  The only outcome that the lefties would fear more than Brown being elected is their own unmasking as criminals. 

Then again voter fraud did get Al Franken "elected," so maybe they'll try it again. 

76
The Big Show on WEEI (sports talk) is talking about Scott Brown! I dunno if they'll do this for the whole show but I suspect Scott will be talked about a lot because other than the Celtics and Bruins (who nobody cares about) there's nothing going on in Boston sports right now.

77 We can still hope for a MLK day "surprise". I've haven't seen Brown's wife anywhere, anybody's gaydar going off? He keeps on hanging around two cute young thangs that are young enough to be his daughters.

78

tick tick tick, the countdown continues. More good news, Mass weather is not helping the dems as God casts an early ballot.

79

 I think the brownalanche will be followed by a brownalanche in the FirstPants.

But it should be a light-brown one.

80 Brown Lightning!

81

12

 

Heh.

82 Sorry about this lame post, I often need "ice-breaker" posts to get me going.

Apology not accepted unless accompanied by a six-thousand word explanation.

83

Flutie was at the rally yesterday I was there I saw the hole thing.

84 Welcome back ace. I'm glad you're not dead.

85
Am I the only one who thinks that the lefties might attempt voter fraud to steal this election?

yeah, wow, we haven't even thought about that

86

I don't mean to pat myself on the back too hard but I did say (albeit in the comments) "This is going to happen. Wrap your minds around that."

 

Hitting a prediction feels good... I predicted in comments last week that we would see shots of LT pouting on the bench in the 4th quarter after the Chargers tanked, and what do you know.

 

I heard that Kaeding tried to hang himself today, but was unable to kick the chair out from beneath himself.            what.   too soon?

87 It may be that Brown is so far ahead that the lefties will not able able to commit enough voter fraud to overcome his lead.

I think that, because 1) they've never needed it before and 2) they had such very short notice that they'd need to play those kind of games, it would be a real scramble to commit enough fraud to change the outcome of this.  Wasn't Marcia still up by 30 about 3 weeks ago?

88 At this point, I'm not even afraid they'll cheat and win.  I'm only afraid that they'll cheat and put the election into such chaotic doubt that there'll be no way to tell who won.  ACORN would love to do something like that.

89 We can still hope for a MLK day "surprise". I've haven't seen Brown's wife anywhere, anybody's gaydar going off? He keeps on hanging around two cute young thangs that are young enough to be his daughters.

Posted by: Ken at January 18, 2010 02:33 PM (4JpPD)

She's a reporter and has promised to stay out of view on this race.

Welcome back, Ace!  I felt like I was on a stopped train...in a tunnel...and nobody would announce why.

90 Someone posted a comment in another thread this morning that there will be 3000 people with video cameras at the polls tomorrow.  And they all have detailed instructions on how to document anything that doesn't pass the smell test.  That's very encouraging.

91 I want to believe... I do.  I just have this gut feeling that something is really going to go wrong tomorrow.

I'm anticipating a Coakley upset, 55-41.  It IS Massachusetts, after all.

All of these polls showing Brown in the lead is only forcing the Democrats to rally around a candidate they hate and didn't want to support.

92

Has anyone heard from Jesse Jackson on this one?

 

I'm just wondering how it feels when Scott Brown gets to be the one to cut Dr. Utopia's balls off.

93

Martha... let me count the way that I can cheat my way to Victory..Fix the voting machines. Run a program that Gives me 75% of the vote. No matter what lever was used. Absentee 300,000 should be enough. Bribe the cops watching the machines overnight.  0 recorded votes for the western half of the State should do it. Seems that there was a malfunction, and the votes disappered. A power failure, ice and snow blanked the State. ETC

94 @54  Heads will be exploding and very stupid things will be said.

Titans will clash!  Kraken will be released!

95 Actually, their best move vis-a-vis fraud is the recount.  They've become experts.  The boxes of "found" ballots works well as well as voting under different names, but there's a lot of risk with that.  The recount thing is much easier.

96 Curious as to how the race is going in Barney Frank's district. Any Mororns/Moron-ettes up there who can give a report?

I live in MA-4, and it's Brown by a mile based on my unscientific yard sign count.

Don't get too excited. These idiots will still reelect Bawney Fwank in November.

97 60% ? I say work like hell to get to 65%

98 @63 "A lot of Clinton supporters are very enthused about Brown (see: Hillbuzz blog). Many are still really pissed that she lost the nomination to the fascist fraud." Interesting, considering Hillary displays just as many fascistic tendencies as the One. (As Jonah Goldberg has pointed out, "It Takes A Village" is a profoundly fascistic tome.) She is a liberal Democrat, after all.

99

I overheard someone saying that on "one of the news outlets" they were actually stating (cheering) that snow could prevent a bigger turnout in some of the more red areas. This was MSNBC I presume.

Is this ringing any bells w/anyone??

100 If Scott Brown, slumlord, is such an advocate for smaller government, then why is he driving a GM truck?

101 Is the term "Brownbaggers" an epithet?

102 Coakley's loss will prove that America wants the health care bill to pass.

Don't ask me why.  It just will.

103 Does anyone know what time the polls close in MA?

The later of 8pm or the time/date they reach the number of Democrat votes needed for a win.

And about Flutie ... the Clinton endorsement probably did have a lot to do with her support of autism legislation. Scott Brown is very supportive in this area as well.

104 Can I get anyone some coffee?

105 @102 No, the official spin is that the Coakley loss is the result of not ramming the health care bill through _fast_ enough. And she sucks as a candidate. Yeah, that's the ticket, the rubes will buy that.

106 LOL.  They are discussing 14th Amendment and Union tax exemptions on Boston Sports WEEI

107

I wrote a poem for Marth/Bama/all socialists:

How do I despise thee? Let me count the ways.
I despise thee to the depth and breadth and height
My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight
For the ends of Being and ideal Grace.
I despise thee to the level of everyday's
Most quiet need, by sun and candle-light.
I despise thee freely, as men strive for Right;
I despise thee purely, as they turn from Praise.
I despise thee with a passion put to use
In my old griefs, and with my childhood's faith.
I despise thee with a hate I seemed to lose
With my lost saints, --- I despise thee with the breath,
Smiles, tears, of all my life! --- and, if God choose,
I shall despise thee until I die!

Pretty original, if I do say so myself.

108 That vid of the phone bank is priceless. That office is nearly as empty as Croakley's head.

109 If you're in Mass or DC on Wednesday stay away from highway overpasses.

110 Don't forget to drop a Thank You note to Obama for coming out to MA to speak.  Preferably written on the back of a Brown flyer.

111 48 straight hours on the bikini wax table, Ace? That's impressive.
I'm guessing that they've cleared over one third of your back by now.

112 I overheard someone saying that on "one of the news outlets" they were actually stating (cheering) that snow could prevent a bigger turnout in some of the more red areas.

Wishful thinking. A Nor'easter wrapped inside a category 5 hurricane wouldn't keep me or any of the other Brown supporters I talked to at the Worcester rally yesterday away from the polls.

Besides, we're all 4-wheel drive truck-owning rednecks, don't you know?

113 I live in Worcester and I am voting for Scott Brown tomorrow. I do have a small bit of unsettling news. Friday night Johnny Winter and James Montgomery Blues Band, Brad Whitford from Aerosmith, Barry Goudreau from the band Boston,  Ayla Brown and The Uptown Horns performed in Worcester. Scott Brown came on stage to introduce some of the acts and the mostly young crowd booed him vociferously. My brother, another Brown supporter was there and he told me this. There are many colleges here, so hopefully these misguided youngsters are from out of state and not eligible to vote in Massachusetts. All the news reports and people I talk to around here are very excited about Scott Brown. I think Brown will be elected.

114 I have yet to read the names of Marsha's campaign managers.
Who's been steering this train wreck?

BTW, Winston Wolf checked in on the headlines thread.
If you guys want to start sucking each others' dicks, you're good.

115 NRO sez the Obamites have kicked the Coakley folks out.  Looks like they've kept her on lockdown, too -- haven't heard TOO many stupid things from her in the last day or so.

116

Friday night Johnny Winter and James Montgomery Blues Band, Brad Whitford from Aerosmith, Barry Goudreau from the band Boston,  Ayla Brown and The Uptown Horns performed in Worcester

 

 

You are claiming that YOUNG people went to see those people?!!  hahahaha

117 That vid of the phone bank is priceless.

The atmosphere was electrifying, crackling with excitement...like a morgue at 4:00am.

118 91 -- enoxo, I see you spouting that same eyore trash at Hot Air. Why don't you stuff that "it's Massachusetts" shit? Nobody's forgotten what state we're talking about, but thanks anyway. Is it really that important to be the guy saying "I told you so" on Wednesday if Marcia and the machine manage to steal this?

For fuck's sake, buck up or stay in the truck.

119 Terry, That is what my brother said. He also said Johnny Winter sucked and at that point a lot of people walked out.

120 Heartfelt plea from Coakley campaign to Massachusettes voters.

121 Scott Brown on Howie Carr on wrko.com right now.

122

107 Pretty original, if I do say so myself.

Posted by: St. Agnostica

I don't know.  It seems kind of familiar.

123

From The Corner: The same GOP operative is hearing that the White House has taken over their candidate's (it's safer to go without the name!) field operation. “They feel like they have stopped the bleeding and they have a shot. Not that they are going to win but, less optimistically, that they still have a shot.”

He adds that “they are saying their numbers have them up — but that is W. modeling that does not reflect this election and they know it. They are afraid a big loss would produce a diaspora in Congress. That's why president had no choice but to go.”

I don't know what "W. modeling" means but I think the "had no choice" line means that they were afraid that Coakley would get completely blown out.  In an ordinary election, a loss is a loss.  In this thing, the margin of victory means everything.  Brown by 4 is easier to spin than Brown by 9.  At this stage of a campaign like this, Coakley volunteers are just not showing up, not bothering, not knocking on doors, demoralized.  The Obama campaign can't let that happen.  They're putting on a band-aid, but keeping up a pace to the end.

124 "Had a lost weekend"
 I told everyone....he was kidnapped by a buxom blonde and taken to a mountain lair where she totally exhausted the man into confusion.  And all the while, the rest of us where leading our mundane lives, doing work, cooking, having parties, and posting away.  And ace was being pushed to exhaustion and he forgot about the blog....

125 It can't be good for the Dems.......Chrissy Mathews looks glum.

126
Final ARG Poll:

Republican Scott Brown leads Democrat Martha Coakley 52% to 45% in the special Massachusetts US Senate race to replace Senator Ted Kennedy according to a telephone survey conducted January 15-17 among 600 likely voters in Massachusetts saying they will definitely vote in the special election on January 19

127 101 Is the term "Brownbaggers" an epithet?

On the contrary, "Brown bagging it" means taking your own lunch to work instead of wasting hard-earned dollars eating out. It's a sign of self-sufficiency and frugality, so it's actually a pretty good metaphor for this campaign.

128 Ace, are you running low on chickens?

129

@ 117 - The atmosphere was electrifying, crackling with excitement...like a morgue at 4:00am.

Well, where exactly did you think the Dems got the majority of their voters from?

130

I think y'all are making too much of the video of the Coakley Call Center.  Her GOTV callers were due to begin at 10:00, and the empty office was videoed at 10:20.  BUT remember - it snowed that morning!

Heck, how were the teeming hoardes of volunteer callers supposed to get there in the snow?  The shock of bad weather and cold winds in Boston in January probably had them frightened, and cowering in corners at home alone.

Another report from Monday was on a Coakley rally at a middle school gym.  They used partitions to close off 3/4 of the seating area, and didn't fill what they had left.  Of course, some of those middle school gyms are pretty darn big . . .

This is f-ing Massachusetts!  Let 'em blame Coakley all they want - she does suck as a candidate and as a human being and deserves nothing but scorn.  But remember after the primary, a group of Democratic insiders asked Rep. Capuano if he had learned anything from his statewide campaign.  "Yeah," he replied, "You're screwed."  This was before any of Coakley's gaffes, before her record was examined (the Dems didn't lay a glove on her), so it's more than her repugnant personality and complete lack of decency.

If it's this way in the Bay State, what will it be like in Pennsylvania, Virginia, Ohio, and Colorado?

Heheheheh . . .
