UPDATE:
Drudge is reporting that Coakley has conceded by telephone. Here's the story in the Globe, but high traffic appears to have crashed the site.
Local election returns in Massachusetts, tonight, make for an interesting map that will bear further analysis as time progresses. Note, for instance, the huge margins for Coakley in Fall River and New Bedford.
The live results map from the New York Times, however, shows that this isn't a regional result, inasmuch as the two precincts between the cities are red. Urban blight seems to suit the Democrats just fine, it would seem. Perhaps the blighted should think on that.
One of the dumber thing the katzman has written!

It will take deep analysis to discover the truth behind the numbers. This election is a watershed for those plotting strategy for November.

Posted by: Bob at January 19, 2010 11:23 PMYAHOO!!! Great job, Massachusetts!
(Justin, I suspect the disgruntlement above is with the substance of your post, not your writing.)
"Just a comment on Church and State, I noticed that two (possibly more) Attleboro polling places were in churches."
Yup, elsewhere around Massachusetts, too, Warrington.
It gave me pause, also, when I learned about that this week. And then I remembered that it hadn't stopped Mass from being a very blue state all these years.
