Fellow progressives and addled out political junkies, we need predictions for tomorrow. What’s the percentage in each primary race? Who win’s the Sanford-Colbert battle? Can the Celtics build on the momentum of Pierce’s great run last night? Will the Bruins beat back those damn Leafs? And this Saturday will it be Forty Tales? Titletown? Capo Bastone? or the 50-1 odds GT Tabu? People want to know the word on the street.
Please share widely!

Pierce rallied, but Celts aren’t getting passed the first round. It’s an old team and they need new blood.
I expect the Bruins to go quite far.
Capo Bastone has the best name, which means he won’t win.
As for politics:
Sullivan 39% Gomez 32% Winslow 29%
I suspect a lot of ‘soft Dans’ will go to Sullivan to block Gomez. Though it could easily happen in the reverse. If Gomez really wins I will LOL hard.
Won’t do the Dems, I just don’t want to jinx it. But the fact that I am worried about jinxing lets you know I think it’s a real tossup and a lot closer than people think.
will win, but only with a slight plurality, around 53% of the vote. I suspect that if Lynch has any GOTV, they will vote like Neandrathals down ballot. I also will be surprised if Lynch wins anywhere outside of his congressional district.
Also, I predict that despite that if the Doctor regenerates around Christmas 2013, that the new doctor will be Ginger.
From Gilligan’s Island?
Actually, I have this theory that The Professor (like The Doctor, The Master) is also a Time Lord. The “Ginger” thing is companion envy. đŸ™‚
Apologies to those who don’t watch the show…
You should say, “Apologies to those who watch either show.”
During a charity special with Rowan Atkinson once, Joanna Lumbly (of Absolutely Fabulous fame) was the doctor for a brief time, breaking the gender glass ceiling (but not canonical).
Is a majority, and a pretty strong one in a race with 3 people in it, not a plurality.
The South Carolina Colbert-Busch/Sanford primary isn’t until next Tuesday, the 7th.
from Markey folks who were handing out fliers with poll hours and Markey’s positions. on 5 items.
We’re registered Dems with excellent voting records, so it seems that the Worcester Dems are making sure that the faithful are prompted to vote tomorrow.
and a phone call here in Newton. I was out on the doors a bit myself this morning. Markey campaign has put a lot of effort into identifying supporters and is now doing its best to get those identified to the polls.
Good crowds at Markey’s GOTV rallies over the weekends as well. They filled the Fitzgerald room at Doyle’s yesterday. The head of NARAL was touring with him, and Ayanna Pressley and Rep. Liz Malia introduced Markey at the Boston events. Feeling OK about this one but will be nervous until it’s all counted.
Celtics: will be done soon. Really happy they pulled out yesterday’s game after blowing a 20-point lead, but too old and too many injuries to win 3 more in a row and advance.
Bruins: haven’t looked good for a while, but I hope they can rest a couple of days and turn it on against Toronto. Not sure how far they can go. All season they’ve seemed a goal or two short against the top competition (Pittsburgh and even Montreal).
Patriots: Most definitely will not sign Tebow.
I think Markey will beat Lynch by 10 points. Among the Republicans, my guess is Sullivan beats Winslow by a point or two (41 to 39), and Gomez gets maybe 20%.
I’m not ready to make predictions. but I have been out on the doors, making calls, talking to voters. We are working a targeted group but there is a strong positive vibe for Ed Markey. Hey Laurel, I didn’t realize that you had moved to Worcester. I’m in Westborough. I can get you connected with the Worcester Dems. You might find our drinking liberally (some don’t drink but we’re all liberal) a good match. You’ll find a few BMGers over in Milford at the Turtle Tavern on the 2nd and 4th Wednesday.
