A programming note from the WBUR studios: Democrat Bill Keating, fresh off his victory last night in the 10th Congressional District, will be on Radio Boston today at 3 p.m.

The congressman-elect fended off Republican Jeff Perry in the state’s closest congressional race. Keating won by 4.5 percentage points. The next closest congressional contest was 10.5 points.

WBUR’s David Boeri was with Keating last night. Before this election, the tide seemed to be going out on Democrats down on the South Shore and Cape Cod. But the Republican wave never materialized:

The tony and Republican-tilting towns of Cohasset and Hingham came in for Keating, the Democrat. He took Falmouth, too, and Plymouth. It was tight all right. But Keating was confident in his field operation to get out the vote.
