Another Bay State e-mail:

Voted in Oak Square, a neighborhood of Boston, part of Brighton. Deeply Democratic. Voted at the YMCA.
Saw three clean cut kids sitting in folding chairs counting the people as they voted.
Went over and talked to one of them and it turns out they are using the 2008 vote for McCain as a proxy for the projected Brown vote in the precinct. He got approx. 20 percent. “It’s as good a proxy as any,” I said, but now think it might even underestimate the Brown support. Dunno, no way to know.
Still, I was impressed to see this level of organization and committment even in such a highly Dem area. This campaign has created a base and an infrastructure that hopefully won’t be squandered.
Weld had a real opportunity to build a base when he became Governor in 1994. He didn’t. Weld got bored.
Reports that Romney’s people have helped Brown in this campaign indicate that Romney is playing long ball.
No matter what happens, this state has changed.
A few months ago, the Globe reported that Coakley’s win in the Democratic primary made her a virtual shoe-in the final election. I was a bit miffed, but couldn’t argue with them, because at that time, it didn’t look like there was a realistic chance for Brown.
Wow. Just wow.
