Boston, MA- Early indicators show the election may be heading in Scott Brown's favor due to high voter turnout and momentum. An early Exit Poll in the Massachusetts Race for the Senate has a very close race.
The weather may be affecting voter turnout as there is a light snow falling statewide.
Some Democrats have been quoted as now hoping for only a single digit loss in the election. A landslide victory for Scott Brown in the heavily Democratic State of Massachusetts for Republican Scott Brown would send a strong signal to Washington regarding the current course of the Nation.
Suburban polling stations may be favoring Scott Brown.
The vote against the incumbent party in Washington may be winning the day in Massachusetts.

Wow, this is clearly just a lie. Please see the Wall Street Journal: http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748703837004575013111682315540.html?mod=WSJ_Opinion_MIDDLETopOpinion "Why There Won't Be Exit Polls in Massachusetts By JOHN FUND The Massachusetts Senate race was a complete snoozer until January 5, when pollster Scott Rasmussen released a survey showing Republican Scott Brown trailing Democrat Martha Coakley by only nine points. That surprised many, but still wasn't a true wake-up call that the race would be a barnburner. As late as January 10, the Boston Globe carried a headline trumpeting a poll showing Ms. Coakley with a 15-point lead. Mr. Brown's surge was so sudden that many of the usual accoutrements of closely-contested elections are missing in the Bay State. One is exit polls. There will be none tonight from Massachusetts, disappointing journalists and political scientists alike. As Mike Allen of Politico.com reports, the consortium of news outlets that normally organizes such surveys didn't bother when the race was expected to be a blowout and now "wasn't confident a reliable system could be built so fast."Posted by Anonymous on Tuesday, January 19, 2010
Let's see, anonymous commenter, no references to anything verifiable--indeed, no argument whatsoever! All insinuations opposed to Brown. Could the previous anonymous commenter be any less credible? And, BTW, would you mind citing the "typos"? I don't actually have a dog in this Senate fight (although, from the looks of the candidates, only the Dhimmicraps were able to find a dog; the Repugnican'ts at least found a Pretty Boy Clothes Horse with Hair to rival The Breck Girl, A/K/A John Edwards), but the previous commenter found where my goat was tied: at the corner of "Despises Poor Argument" and "Prefers Citation of Fact Over Bloviation". BTW #2: I guess my eyes really are getting old, because the "typos" NOT cited (just referred to) by the previous anonymous commenter aren't readily apparent to me. Oh, and the "lots of insinuations favoring Brown"? All just rehashes of wire reports available from many Mass Media Podpeople Hivemind resources. If the "lots of insinuations favoring Brown" are a problem for the previous anonymous commenter, then his/her real problem is with the Mass Media Podpeople Hivemind... or the Dhimmicraps' choice of candidate. (Problems Republicans and even conservatives--often different critters entirely--with the Repugnican'ts' choice are obvious in his record.)Posted by Anonymous on Tuesday, January 19, 2010

There are no exit polls in the Mass. Senate RacePosted by Anonymous on Tuesday, January 19, 2010
"As Mike Allen of Politico.com reports, the consortium of news outlets that normally organizes such surveys didn't bother when the race was expected to be a blowout and now "wasn't confident a reliable system could be built so fast."" That's correct. I worked at Chilton Research Services (now part of TNS) in 1994 and they had the exit polling contract with ABC (this was before the creation of the VRS to consolidate all the networks efforts instead of having 4 r 5 exit pollsters at voting sites). It is an incredibly complex methodology and extremely challenging to execute because of so much human intervention in the process (in-person interviewers following strict sampling guidelines, polling place staff thinking that interviewers are breaking rules, making sure to randomly select voters based ona complex selection formula to overcome response bias like a male interviewer stopping only attractive young women to interview). It is very difficult, and wildly misleading when not done correctly.Posted by Anonymous on Tuesday, January 19, 2010
