Prediction (0.00 / 0)

I've always felt that Gabrieli's support was weak.  I think Tom Reilly will come in 2nd.

My prediction:

Patrick - 45%
Reilly - 35%
Gabrieli - 20%

But I could be waaaaaaay off!

I worked this polling place tonight, and you are able to request to be given numbers when they come out to report back to the campaigns. That's how I and I would imagine the others here got their numbers.

Patrick winning in every town with results so far posted (0.00 / 0)

I just checked the town by town results on boston.com and Patrick was ahead in every single town or city that had results posted, admittedly only 40 odd precincts but still striking that nowhere was either Gabrielli or Reilly ahead. That will likely change by the time this comment is posted.

Channel 4 declared for Patrick, too.  I'm as optimistic as any of Deval's supporters, but this still seems premature.

Look at the results (0.00 / 0)

I think this is pretty solid projections.  Apparently Patrick is winning even in precints where Reilly's campaign thought would be their strongholds.

Last time I take boston.com at face value...I used their numbers.  This whole trying to follow from across the country is a little difficult.  Need to plan my vacations better.

Smack (0.00 / 0)

Gabrieli concedes, endorses Deval, calls out Healey for running attack ads to influence the race (and makes fun of her for her "win" tonight).

They had some shots of her party - I swear it was entirely young white men in suits (a group of which I am a member, granted, minus the suit).

Fire your campaign consultants, Kerry. (0.00 / 0)

Nothing like the lieutenant governor trying to base her campaign for governor on a platform of change.

Good luck selling that to the people. If the Patrick campaign runs the second part of its campaign half as well as it ran the first, he will crush this poor woman.

Healey thinks (0.00 / 0)

she can launch a preemptive strike on Patrick while she has the attention of the viewers watching election results.

Thing is, a plurality of them are bound to be Patrick supporters, and all she'll accomplish is getting them more fired up than they are, if possible.
