But it may not have been enough. Brown has a double digit lead according to exit polls.

I was listed under my married name for those playing along at home.

I do have a fear that I will not be able to vote because of my name change. I have my passport which is still under my maiden name so I could use that as back up.

So this upcoming Tuesday (January 19) is the special election to fill the late Sen. Ted Kennedy’s seat. And I am less than thrilled with my options: Martha Coakley and Scott Brown.  But in the end, I cannot have Ted Kennedy’s seat go to a Republican.  I just can’t.  But I really don’t like Martha Coakley – she is blah.

But the amount of money being pumped into this election is insane.  Seriously ads are everywhere.  It is not uncommon to watch TV and see pro-Brown, followed by an anti-Coakley, followed by another anti-Coakley and then pro-Coakley, and an anti-Brown.  It is crazy.  In fact, there is a robocall message being left on my phone right now about the election.  It is everywhere.  And I bet Obama is pissed that the DNC let it get this close and he had to come up to Mass to stump for Coakley.  He probably had better plans for a Sunday then to come up here.

At least the Cowboys are out of the playoffs.  Next hope is the Jets lose.  Then Brown loses.
