In Massachusetts We confirmed that the state Republican Party should not be taken seriously as a major political party. Earlier this year, when people like me mocked their anemic candidate recruitment -- they couldn't even make a serious play for...
I thought John McCain's speech was exceptionally gracious. I thought Barack Obama's speech was very good. I thought the moment was phenomenal. I'm not sure what happens when the actual governing starts, but for a moment -- notably, in the...
Since we learned the nominees, I have said that Obama would win "comfortably" over McCain. But two months ago -- on the heels of the Palin pick -- I upped my prediction to a blowout in which Obama would win 35 states. I have repeated that prediction...
After the remarkable 2006 elections, the only Republican US Representative left in New England was Christopher Shays, all the way down in the southwest corner of Connecticut. Well, he's gone now, too. The Hartford Courant reports that Shays has conceded...
All 11 Massachusetts District Attorneys, and Attorney General Martha Coakley, came out against the ballot initiative to decriminalize possession of small amounts of marijuana. They ranted and raved about the evil it would do. So it's a pretty major...
It can now be said that Sara Orozco is no Angus McQuilken. Gamely though she tried, Orozco seems to have come up short in her bid to unseat state senator Scott Brown. I knew it looked bad when I saw that they split Wellesley almost 50-50; that's one...
MSNBC has called the New Hampshire Senate race for Jeanne Shaheen over incumbent John Sununu. Susan Collins has bucked the anti-GOP trend and defeated Tom Allen in Maine. Oh, and elsewhere in New England, they're calling Massachusetts for Kerry. And...
Looking at national exit polls on voting in US House races is tricky -- it isn't a one-to-one correspondence to the number of elected congressmen. But it's something. In 2004, the national exit polls showed voters barely favoring the GOP in US...
Lots of caveats today about the exit polls -- especially considering A) the '04 debacle where everyone thought Kerry had won, and B) the huge number of Obama-heavy early voters. Still, from what I've seen and been told, the exit polls show a big...
If you're one of those antsy, can't-stand-the-waiting types, after 6:00 go to this link . This is the election-return site for a congressional race in the Ft. Wayne area of Indiana; polls close in this district at 6:00 ET. It's a heavy Republican...
I got a few questions in by email that I'll respond to here -- and hey, you can all feel free to keep asking me anything even though it's technically not "ask me anything day." "Alissa" asks: 1. What happens if someone submits...
Interested in what the folks on my "25 Scariest Conservatives" list are saying today? Amanda Carpenter reports on voter fraud , or something, in Philadelphia. Matt Drudge has a top link of Hillary Clinton caught politicking illegally at a polling...
The networks, as well as the rest of the media, will have some decisions to make tonight if, as I have long predicted, this is a lopsided victory for Obama. Consider this. Virginia and most of Florida close at 7:00 -- and a huge number of Florida's...
Election Day is finally upon us. I've been writing and talking about this Presidential election for a long time -- since before the last one, in fact. In the late summer and early fall of 2004, Mitt Romney opened political action committees in several...
Republican former Massachusetts Governor William Weld is endorsing Barack Obama, the Associated Press reports. Weld released a statement calling Obama "the best candidate to move our country forward," and will announce the endorsement publicly...
