    Holy crap.

    Now I am CERTAIN that this poll is an outlier. And Im certain that Coakley is going to win.

    But the fact that this state, for this seat, isnt a 30 point spread is AMAZING.

    Could you imagine if the GOPer somehow pulls this off?

    MA is a goofy place in a lot of ways, but there's zero chance they let Kennedy's seat go to a guy with an R next to his name. It just isn't going to happen.
    Hmm...really?

    I noticed that you didn't post in this thread until just now. Maybe next time you'll be confident enough to question my predictions before the votes are cast.

    Or, given the example you just provided, maybe you won't.

    I know you posted in the other thread EXACTLY ONE DAY BEFORE THIS ELECTION...that you took your prediction back.

    Nice try.

    That would probably be the rarely part LOL
    And, so, it is frustrating when Christians lose their principles and compromise on the brilliant truth and the power of the gospel to save people from all sins. It is frustrating when Christians take the side of the enemy, against fellow believers. And it is frustrating when Christians re-crucify Christ, through their obsession with never-ending transgression. But, all these things – and, so much more – needn't make us afraid; they should make us more ready to love Michael Glatze

    You did go read the link, right? Where I clearly indicated that my predictions were 180 degrees off the mark? Once it became clear that I had been obviously wrong?

    Yeah. Not exactly butt-covering.

    Guys, you have to do this taunting stuff before the results come in, or it just looks like some brow-mopping opportunism on your part. Waiting until now makes you look like you were sheepishly hedging your bets.

    You said probably off.

    you were hedging your bets by saying "probably off." And of course they can point out you were wrong because you said probably in the post you linked above.

    Yea, I read the whole thing.

    But it sounds more like someone who bet for the Cowboys to beat the Vikings, who decides to change their mind with 10 seconds left in the 4th quarter, while losing 34-3.

    Well since we really didn't need another thread, here's what I said in my closed thread about Brown's win tonight:

    I don't think his win changes anything that the DEMS will do in 2010.
    I think tonight's election only puts them on the clock until the next congress takes over in Jan. 2011. I think the dems will be more inclined to ram thru every piece of their agenda thru anyway they can. Reconciliation, nuclear options, etc... Whatever they have to do, they will get their agenda pass.

    Once it's pass it's harder to reverse. So, I really don't see the dems doing anything different this year other maybe accelerate.

    the thing about this win not only did a republican win in mass but at 52 to 47% this has to be considered a landslide in such a blue state
