Responses:

I'm intrigued why a larger turnout is supposed to help Coakley, if the polls show Brown ahead. - Dr.Vermin also has two guns! Jan 19, 14:24 3
- Pixie's mostly right. It's the "Oh wow, the Republican might win, so I better get out and vote," mentality. - Name Withheld By Request Jan 19, 14:49
- Polls rely on "likely voter" models. Greater than expected turnout screws with those models making the results suspect. - TWuG Jan 19, 14:35
- mostly the overwhelming Dem registration advantage in the state -- nm - i'm gay for batman Jan 19, 14:30
