Election Watch

Update 2: Nate Silver on the things to watch. 

Update: According to Chuck Todd, 25% of the votes should be counted in the first hour. 

The polls in Massachusetts a little more than an hour. Lots of speculation and reading of the tea leaves, but don't think there have been any comprehensive exit polls (probably a good thing since President Kerry can attest that they are worthless). It does sound as though there will be heavy turnout for a special election, but that can cut both ways- Coakley is helped by lots of voters in a traditionally liberal state, Brown definitely has the enthusiasm factor.

My prediction right now is a 8 point win for Brown.

All I see on the Dem side today is lots of finger pointing- never a good sign when that happens before the damn election is over. And this sure didn't help my confidence any.

Seems like the White House isn't very confident of victory.
