Incredible - Boston Globe Calls Coakley as Winner 10 Hours Before Polls Close

I kept wondering how the Democrats were going to try and steal this election. Now I know. This is so wrong on so many levels.

In a premature online Dewey beats Truman moment, boston.com today posted an online map of Massachusetts voting results declaring Attorney General Martha Coakley the winner of today’s special U.S. Senate election.

Whoops. There’s only one problem, guys - the polls are open until 8 p.m.

“It was a test on a tool and it meant nothing. I don’t know how these things happen,” said the executive assistant to the editor of boston.com. The editor, David Beard, has yet to return a call to the Herald.

The boston.com map called the race for Coakley 50 percent to state Sen. Scott Brown’s 49 percent. Independent Joseph L. Kennedy, no relation to the Kennedy clan, comes in last with a mere 1 percent. Ouch. The bogus map shows Coakley capturing most of eastern Massachusetts all the way to the tip of Cape Cod.
