It's all over but the crying. sorry, gotta call it.

1. Does any of that 25% include Boston?

[scheming daemons]

2. Only 20 of 254 Boston precincts have reported so far... you may be right, but WAY premature

5. she'd have to win boston by as huge margin.

she just isn't doing well enough in places where she needs to blow him out of the water.

[Mojambo]

14. She's not doing nearly well enough in Boston

It's over guys.

[Statistical]

17. She is barely up by 12pt in Boston. Should be 20-25 or more for a win.

I think it may be a little early to call it but time is running out quick.

20. 50,000+ votes behind and Boston can probably only give her about 20,000 of that

at the rate she's going.

however, she might make it close.

but that 50,000 keeps getting harder and harder to crack.

3. Eh, not necessarily

That's not an insurmountable lead if Democratic-leaning urban areas report later. But I think Coakley will probably still lose.

4. Depends on where it's coming from...

Remember, the wealthier, more conservative suburbs and rural areas tend to come in first. We won't really know until we get a bigger picture of the results from Boston -- if Coakley isn't winning by 2:1 or more, she's toast.

6. No way it can be called yet with so much of Boston and other urban areas still out.

[mreilly]

7. Still holding out hope

I will concur that any time a Republican is shown as being ahead of the Democrat, no matter how early in the evening, said Republican always seems to wind up winning it and my hopes of an upset wind up unfulfilled. However, I'm willing to keep hoping until the end...

8. You & I have seemingly been on opposite sides of DU's current divide.

Not on this one.

I'm sorry, I'm saddened, I join you in your tears tonight.

[cali]

9. I just feel sick about it.

[Jackpine Radical]

21. It's a loss for all of us.

I don't know anyone to the left of Palin who wanted this result.

[timeforpeace]

10. There's still a chance.

[Enrique]

11. 5 points doesn't seem so big

:shrug:

[Drunken Irishman]

12. Five points is huge.

[Lone_Star_Dem]

13. He's holding his 5 pt. lead with 37% reporting.

[cali]

15. 40% in

40% in. Brown 53, Coakley 46.

[Terra Alta]

16. I am not going to start crying until

100% of the votes are in and Brown is declared the winner... but it doesn't look good... :(

[taught_me_patience]

18. I'm sorry to say but I agree with you

Feels like a punch to the gut.

[leftygolfer]

19. can not believe this is happening

just can't believe it.

[davsand]

22. Are we mostly seeing early results from the rural areas?

Everybody seems to be resigned to a Dem loss, but I have yet to figure out if the metro areas have reported at this point. I am not from Mass, so forgive me for maybe asking a dumb question, but is it possible that there are a bunch of metro (leaning dem) votes still outstanding? Seems like the more populated areas report results late--so maybe this is not over yet...

:shrug:

23. no, she's conceded. can't get more over than that.
