MSNBC projects Reps winning in Arkansas for both Senator and Governor.
Pryor losing is a pretty big deal. A pick up for Reps.
Cotton in AR. Plus 2 for the GOP. Hutchison wins the Governship of AR.
I’ve got the plate of crow right in front of me, prepared to eat every single bite. Looks like it is a butt whooping for the Democrats, far worse than I expected.
Well, I’ve just finished off a 2 liter growler of Switchback Ale. Now it’s time to move onto the harder stuff. Should I open the tequila or the mezcal?
It’s not a whooping until Shaheen, Udall, Warner, Hagen, and Begich lose. Maybe a couple more as well. Holds in NH, NC, and VA would put a real crimp in Republican hopes.
Hopes of a whooping, yes? Control of the Senate? We never thought those states were in play.
Unless I’ve missed something, the only strongly contested race this year that has been called has been McConnell’s win in Kentucky.
I agree that VA is looking good, but frankly, I’m surprised to hear of your preference for Gillespie.
First, I’ve already said I’m somewhat drunk. Second, if Colorado, Alaska, New Hampshire, North Carolina, and Virginia weren’t thought of as in play, what were the Republicans hoping to win?
Listening to the behind the scenes projections and exit polling, it looks like the D’s will hold VA and NC and NH. It’s going to come down, as expected, to Colorado, Iowa, and Alaska.
P.S. ABC just called NH Senate for Shaheen.
I’d put Arkansas in that category.
How can that be? After all, Georgia has Voter ID, which (according to this place) is axiomatically tied to lessened minority turnout.
And Virginia is leaning towards electing Gillespie right now.
I don’t recall Virginia as being in play. The results there are worrisome.
I still have a hard time seeing Gillespie winning. Northern Virginia always seems to report late, most famously so in 2012 in which Virginia was called decisively for Obama around midnight.
Maggie Hassan-D projected to retain the governorship in New Hampshire. That does not bode well for Scott Brown.
NH, NC, and VA were only part of a big GOP sweep giving us 54 or 55 seats. Many others are on the table for the plucking to get us to 51.
Daily Kos is reporting that the county-level counts continue to look good for Warner in VA. Ditto for Hagan in NC. And I hear ABC has called NH-Sen for Shaheen. (Markos: “Maybe Scott Brown can try Maine?”)
I’d mentally written off Arkansas a couple weeks ago, so the news there is no biggie.
MSNBC says too early to call.
Do you have data that suggests that the northern VA area near DC is not waiting to swamp Gillespie with its vote count?
Maybe you think the governor’s name is Cuccinelli? Because the county-level results show Gillespie running basically even with Cooch’s performance last year.
Florida is looking like a Republican squish, which is not all that great a surprise considering who drew the districts.
