Perdue win in Georgia. Looks like no run-off, too.
Nice to know that winning an election means that we can all laugh at issues surrounding America’s longstanding race problems, LOL!
Brown is not conceding. The race has evened out. 2,000 vote lead for Sheehan with 78% of votes in.
Be happy enough if the EPA isn’t privatized and sold to the Koch Brothers.
Legal pot, bro.
It’s looking like the difference between the GOP winning 8 seats and 10 seats will be like 5000 votes.
There is a pot joke to be made there. Don’t worry, you will find it.
Geez, is Corbett going to be the only GOP governor to go down?
Oh well

Is it a wave? Charlie Cook explains:
[INDENT]The first test of the existence of a political wave is whether the benefiting party avoids losing many of its own endangered seats. The second is whether it wins an overwhelming number of the purple, competitive or, in this case, light blue Democratic-tilting but still endangered seats…
The third test of a real wave is the ability of a party to pull off real upsets, knocking off incumbents who were not on the lists of first- or second-tier vulnerable seats. If, for example, someone like Mark Warner in Virginia, Al Franken in Minnesota, or Jeff Merkley in Oregon were to lose, that would be a wave in the sense of 1980, 1994, 2006, or 2008. [/INDENT] Emphasis added. So Mark Warner is the canary, as it were.
Incidentally, Nate Silver doesn’t buy into the wave framework at all. He thinks that a big win in one election doesn’t necessarily carry into the next.
Ernst is overcoming the deficit…
History says otherwise unless Obama’s popularity goes way up.
Ah, history says that? Well, what does the future say?
So the Republicans will probably split NC/VA with the Democrats.
History tends to repeat itself. I’m not saying Republicans will win in 2016, just observing that predicting an easy Democratic win in 2016 is nonsensical.
I see people laughing at absurd attempts to shoehorn racial problems into voting procedure debates that don’t actually constitute racial issues at all, since a poll tax is not actually implicated by Voter ID.
Is that what you mean?
No, it’s just funny and in good taste - like laughing at poor people!
When people have been literally handed a ballot and can vote without ever having to leave their house, and they don’t, that’s worth poking fun at. There’s no “obstacles” there, they just chose not to vote. That earns derision.
Quinn goes down in Illinois.
