According to results posted on the Town web site, nearly 74% of registered voters in Westwood turned out to vote overwhelmingly for Republican Scott Brown. The report on the town web site breaks down the voting by precinct and shows high turnout and support for Brown over Coakley in all four precincts. By way of comparision, Westwood voted 52% for President Obama in 2008.

An Upset in the Making?

by Dave Atkins

When I blogged my endorsement of Alan Khazei in the Democratic primary, I basically said the special election on Tuesday wouldn't matter because how could a Republican possibly win?

I guess I was guilty of the same cluelessness that has gripped the Coakley campaign. This sign up the street from me...although I disagree with it, I am impressed that Scott Brown has inspired grassroots support enough that people are making homemade signs.

Vote tomorrow for US Senate

by Dave Atkins

The Massachusetts Special State Primary to select candidates to run for Ted Kennedy's US Senate seat is tomorrow. Republicans can choose between Wrentham State Senator Scott Brown and attorney/entrepreneur Jack Robinson. Democrats will choose between Attorney General Martha Coakley, Somerville Congressman Mike Capuano, Celtics co-owner Steve Pagliuca, and CityYear co-founder Alan Khazei.

This is a vote that matters. Among the 4 Democrats, all are qualified in different ways. Personally, I strongly support Alan Khazei, but I encourage everyone to turn off the TV and check out these candidates, make a choice, and get out there tomorrow and make your vote count.
