This is the same s*** paper that said Coakley was ahead by 15 points in the polls two weeks ago -- flying in the face of the accurate projections they disparaged in their s*** sheet pages. It has become clear that the Globe only talks to a very select set of very few people.
I mean, just look at the Town-by-Town Results. I think you can see that the Globe DOESN'T GET OUT of the LIBERAL JEWISH ENCLAVES of Boston very much, because they are NOT OUT in the WESTERN BLUE, folks! They ONLY COME CALLING when they NEED US for THEIR CANDIDATE!!!
"Voter anger caught fire in final days" by Brian C. Mooney, Globe Staff | January 20, 2010
Angry Massachusetts voters sent Washington a ringing message yesterday: Enough.
Voter anxiety and resentment, building for months, exploded like a match on dry kindling....
It is difficult to overstate the significance of Scott Brown’s victory because so much was at stake....
Voters were demonstrably unsentimental about keeping alive the spirit of the late Ted Kennedy in electing the next senator....
Why should we have been sentimental? The PROBLEMS are NOW! He's GONE!
Besides, HE is the one who MADE US GO OUT THERE!
Brown’s upset triumph is certain to send shockwaves well beyond the state’s borders and into the fall midterm elections, and will rattle Beacon Hill, where Democrats have absolute power and Governor Deval Patrick is an unpopular incumbent as he faces reelection this November.

So the situation is MUCH, MUCH WORSE for the unpopular incumbent -- given the Globe's track record with polls.
And as for that statehouse, p-u!
To be sure, Brown was the beneficiary of the blundering campaign of his opponent, Coakley, who blew a 31-point lead in two months, according to one poll. But in electing Brown, a large segment of the electorate declared that there is little appetite for near-universal national health care, the chief domestic policy initiative of Obama, who carried the state by 26 percentage points only 14 months ago....
Stay in denial, Globe, I don't care.
It is about SO MUCH MORE than that!
The tinderbox climate in the state was so hospitable that when Brown declared his support for waterboarding - simulated drowning used in interrogating terrorist suspects - Coakley and liberal Democrats barely protested.
Yup, which is why DEMOCRATS are FAILURES!!

Yup, the ONE-PERCENTER HERE actually PROTESTED the ONLY WAY I CAN here in this SHIT STATE!!!!!!!!
(If you could only see my tears, readers; I'm THROUGH with politics and THROUGH with my FELLOW CITIZENS of this STATE! WHERE WERE YOU, damn Democraps!!!!!!!!!!!!!???????)
In winning, Brown withstood the most blistering assault of late attack ads the state has ever seen. As Coakley began to collapse, her campaign, Democratic Party committees, outside organized labor, and environmental and abortion rights groups bankrolled a desperate multimillion-dollar carpet bombing ad campaign in an effort to halt Brown’s surge. It backfired. The ads, some of which distorted Brown’s record, created a blowback that scorched the Democrat.
Oh, the SELF-RIGHTEOUS, SMUG ASSHOLES in this state that are SO CLOSED-MINDED about Republicans!!!
Yup, SAINT MARTY was the DIRTIER PLAYER -- and ALLOWED TORTURE to PASS UNCHALLENGED!!!
This is why I have NO RESPECT for DemocraPs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh, SHE OUTSPENT HIM with OUTSIDE MONEY, too!
And I heard the local Democrats on the radio this morning complaining about all this outside Republican money!!!
Yeah, HYPOCRITES, too!!!!!!!!!
Coakley entered the campaign as a well-liked politician and ended with high negative poll ratings.
Yup, BLEW a 31-point LEAD in TWO MONTHS!!!
She will probably face withering recriminations in Democratic circles, and her weakened status could produce a challenger to her reelection in the fall....
Yeah, BLAME HER for ALL YOUR FAULTS, Democrats!!
STAY IN DENIAL, please!!!!
Hey, I'll give them another chance to get it right:
"Frustration with status quo fuels emotions and turnout" by David Abel and David Filipov, Globe Staff | January 20, 2010
Across Massachusetts, a surge of angry voters looking to upset the status quo flocked to the polls yesterday, despite rain and snow through much of the day, to cast ballots in an unprecedented mid-January special election to finish the term of the state’s longtime senator, Edward M. Kennedy, who died last August.
In scores of interviews at multiple polling places, Republicans, independents, and even some Democrats said frustration over health reform and anger with Congress had motivated them to vote for Brown, a Republican state senator whom few voters had heard of before this campaign.
The Brown voters outnumbered the many Democrats, who, facing the loss of a seat their party had held for decades, also flocked to the polls, transforming what many had expected would be a sleepy election day into an unusual scene, with lines at some precincts and the sort of numbers seen when voters turn out for regularly scheduled national elections....
--more--"Yup, the Globe and Democrats on their heels because they didn't see this coming.
Happens when you have your head stuck in s*** for so long.
Even TED KENNEDY'S TOWN was SICK of HIM!!!!!!
"Rebellious air sweeps even Kennedy turf" by Jenna Russell, Globe Staff | January 20, 2010
HYANNIS PORT - Ted Kennedy’s hometown did not look or sound like a place deeply attached to the senator’s liberal legacy, with blue-and-red Scott Brown signs propped in shop windows and driveways, and many voters voicing an appetite for change.
“I’m voting for the opposite of Kennedy, because they’ve been there long enough,’’ Hyannis voter Bernice Latham said. “Maybe we’ll have a say, for a change.’’
Yup, ONE YEAR after the GREAT CHANGINATOR came to power it is the REPUBLICANS who have the MANTLE of CHANGE now!!!
Nice going, Democrats!!!
I guess being George W. Bush's third term isn't working out to well, huh?
But Dorothy Brito, 87, said respect and admiration for the Kennedys is still a part of her Democratic voting habits. Decades before, she had worked for members of the family, including Ted’s father, Joseph Kennedy Sr., and his brother Jack, in Hyannis Port and at the White House, caring for children and serving food at parties, among other tasks.
That was then. A lot has changed!
“They’re a nice family, ordinary people and good people, and I admire them,’’ she said. “Democrat is the only way I’ve ever voted, and this [election] is very important.’’
And I KNOW SO MANY people JUST LIKE HER!
NEVER EVEN GIVE IT a SECOND LOOK! Yeah, they have done a REAL GREAT JOB in this state, huh?
