A poll worker at Holy Name School said the gym (where four precincts vote) was packed at 6:30 a.m., 30 minutes before voting opened.

I just got back from Republican US Sen. Scott Brown's visit to the Holy Name Rotary this morning around 10:45 a.m. Brown supporters chanted "Go Scott! Go!" while Elizabeth Warren supporters chanted "Down with Brown!" 

Brown and his wife Gail Huff were giving out items from a Quincy bake sale they had just came from. Brown gave me (Editor David Ertischek) two chocolate chip cookies. They looked good, but I gave them away so I would not appear biased.
