Who will win the senatorial election in Massachusetts ?

Of course they are sending a message.

Recalling that Brown once posed nude for Cosmopolitan magazine, Kaitlin Addams, 50, said she reluctantly voted for Coakley "to make sure the pinup boy doesn't get into office. I don't like his stand on issues. He's an extreme conservative."

Conversely, Elizabeth Reddin, 65, voted for Brown because she said she was turned off by the Democrat's negative advertisements, saying: "The Coakley stuff was disgusting."

Yeah, I was digging around trying to find Brown's position on spending and regulation. I don't throw anyone into a bucket based on their party. I'm more interested in his opinions and positions on the issues.

your voting system mystifies me to no end

In the primary race for the Senate, Coakley, typically a cautious campaigner, took an unusually bold campaign stance by declaring that she would rather vote down a national health care bill than accept new restrictions on abortion. Hailed nationally by abortion rights groups, she was cast as a leading crusader for their cause. But that uncompromising stance threatened to alienate some voters.

It will be a longer night if the Democrat trails badly, so that ACORN can find more votes.
