What are you hearing? Where are you? Any last minute predictions?
Who has the best ground game?
I’m in Agawam helping a DSC colleague who is running for City Council. We have the special State Senate election out here as well. займы в онлайн

50% over the preliminary benchmark as of 9 AM. David Bernstein thinks we could be heading “north of 150,000 votes.” Suffolk poll assumed turnout of 110,000.
In Charlestown and West Roxbury.
We parked right in front of his car just as he was walking back from the polls at the Holy Name school. He wasn’t dressed for standing outside for long and didn’t have anyone else with him, so I assume he just went to vote. He came over to shake our hands and ask for our vote before he got in his car.
There is a very large Walsh presence standing around the rotary, as there has been sporadically for the last several weeks.
Turnout did not appear to be visibly high and the counter for the voting machine for our precinct did not seem especially high for a general election.
Does not appear to be any thing objectionable about this comment.
but I saw Connolly on TV voting at a different location than our polling place, so he obviously wasn’t returning from voting when we saw him this AM.
McAuliffe, De Blasio, and Christie win double digit victortories. Walsh wins in the 3-5 pt range, and McGovern tops the #1 votes in Cambridge which will elect several other challengers and shake up the council, turnout will be higher than expected in all races.
Also Portland, ME will legalize pot.
I assume there are state laws on that one, and I have a hard time imagining that home rule would be granted.
Terry Mac wins by double digits. I think he wins, but he’s not getting to 54 methinks.
for calling a close(r) race in Virginia?
There could just be more door knockers than doors.
I probably got at least four or five visits from Walsh people in the last month or two and perhaps one from Connolly people.
More than 54,000 voters — about 14.5 percent of Boston’s electorate — turned out by 12 p.m. according to the city election department. In the Sept. 24 preliminary, 39,451 voters, or 10.7 percent of the electorate, had cast ballots by the same time.
Turnout today has been highest in West Roxbury’s Ward 20 — a stronghold for City Councilor John Connolly — where 22.16 percent of registered voters had showed as of noon. Ward 16 in Dorchester was next-highest, with 20.02 percent turnout.

I voted at around 1:30 PM and was voter no. 436 for Ward 4, Pct 1. I voted later in the day on Sept. 24, and there were roughly 200 fewer votes cast at that time. Suzanne Lee is looking strong, unless she gets crushed by the turn-out in South Boston.
Every where you look, all across Boston, there’s someone in a Marty t-shirt getting out the vote. I’m sure the election will be close, but it feels very inspiring to be a part of something so huge.
Go Marty!
I don’t live in Boston, but I am eager to see the result. I hope that the result teaches future candidates an important lesson: If you bash unions, you will lose.
anything up anywhere, Herald / Globe nada.
is reporting that Walsh will win.
that Marty Walsh will be our next mayor. Downtown turned out strongly for Connolly, but this election was decided citywide. I congratulate Walsh’s supporters for their dedication and tenacity, and have every confidence that our city will go forward as one.
BostonGlobe: BREAKING RT @StephanieEbbert: John Connolly has conceded. It’s Mayor Marty Walsh. #BosMayor
