Dems ‘failed’ Coakley  —  The Coakley campaign is bridling at finger-pointing from the White House and Washington Democrats, and an outside adviser to the campaign has provided to POLITICO a memo aimed at rebutting the charge that Coakley failed and making the case that national Democrats failed her.

Boston Globe calls election for Martha Coakley?  —  Boston.com briefly put up this map of the final results of today's election — some 8 hours before polls closed!  —  As you can see, over 2 million people voted, with Coakley eking out a 50-49 victory.  —  The map was fully interactive …

Brown supporters trying to suppress vote by bullying  —  Scott Brown is running for U.S. Senate as a pleasant guy in a pickup truck.  But a mean spirit drives some of his campaign.  —  At a West Springfield rally on Sunday, a Brown supporter yelled out “Shove a curling iron up her butt”.
