Alrighty, this is it. We'll be posting results as they come online. Meanwhile...
...Log Cabin republicans, poor befuddled creatures that they are, cry foul over Maureen's vicious anti-gay literature; they had previously given her $8,000 and volunteered for her. Suckers. (NY Blade [1])
...A phone call I just placed to Lipris reveals hectic activity in Great Neck. I also hear Port Washington is surpassing expectations.
...Keeler and Pollak are out in the field.
[Update1]: When results come, they'll be posted here [2].
[Update2]: Just posted a diary on DKos [3] about those illegal republican shenanigans [4].
[Update3]: It's 8 PM, the polls close in an hour.
[Update4]: Kickass; top of the Rec list on DKos. Polls close in fifteen minutes, and I'm now hearing that Great Neck looks "very good".
[Update5]: 9:04 PM EST, polls have been closed for four minutes. Results will begin trickling in in about fifteen minutes or so.
[Update6]: 9:15, no results yet. Response on DKos has been amazing; people are outraged at the tactics being employed out there. Lipris reports [5] that Maureen's gaybashing flyer - here [6] - got us two extra votes at least.
[Update7]: Just got off the phone with Brian Keeler - "NyBri" - who says the mood at HQ is 'cautiously optimistic'; Brian says he's never seen an operation like this before in a state race, and he should know, having run in one. Five million clams in as many weeks: everyone's in uncharted waters right now.
[Update8]: Yay, first results!
