Have to believe it’s a good thing.

The enthusiasm in on Brown’s side. Not Coakley’s.

Something’s driving new/disinterested voters to the polls and I can’t imagine it’s Martha’s sparkling personality and well-oiled campaign.

This is actually good. The people are prepared and knowledgable. And ready. Neither rain, nor sleet, nor dark of night will keep them from their polling places.

I’m voting right after work, but I bet the polling places will be very busy all day.

Remember “non affiliated” are the highest registration. Therefore hi turnout is needed of “non affiliated” to offset the substantial democrat registration of republicans. So more show up the better.

“I wasn’t anticipating the interest that has developed,” said Needham town clerk Eaton

I know her. I ran for school committee there years ago. They hated me. It was fun. It's a rising moonbat community.

Absentee ballot requests have increased - on par with levels ordinarily seen in a presidential election -

ACORN and SEIU are manufacturing votes. Unless we get a significant win like in NJ we'll get the Al Frankin type of fraud. Brown needs at least a 5% win to overcome the manufactured and dead voters not to mention Mickey Mouse & Daffy Duck voting multiple times.

It could be a sign of pent up demand for change OR it could be party shenanigans, depending on how absentee ballots are handled in Massachusetts.

I think it’s going to depend on whether or not the bus loads of “voters” from the surrounding states are able to get through. It’s supposed to snow there.

Well predictions of a high turnout do two things beyound who turnout helps:

1. Make it less noticeable if the Dim add in some extra votes.

2. Make it dangerous to vote for someone else because they might show up at the polls later.

I would think high turnout would benefit Brown. Low turnout would suggest a base election. In Massacusetts, a base election would decidedly favor the Dems. A high turnout would mean lots of independents are voting, and independents are breaking huge for Brown.

My guess is: This is how they know the democrat is going to lose. I'll bet most of those absentees were "unexpectedly" for Brown.
