2018 Election Day Thread

This is a ridiculous statement.

Brian Williams just called Andrew Cuomo “Mario Cuomo”. I have a feeling most of NY wishes Andrew was his father.

Democrats clinch the U.S. House majority, according to projections from NBC and FOX.

I’ve been watching CNN. Did John King misbehave in class or something? Blitzer and Tapper get to sit at the head of class while King is sent to stare at the map in the corner.

Otherwise, looks like things are playing out mostly as expected.

I’m still not breaking out the really good tequila, but I think I’ll get back into the opened good Scotch or mescal.

Wow, after being open in the bottle several years, the mescal is downright smooth.

Yeah, I’ll be able to sleep tonight and go to work in the morning. Vodka stays in the freezer.

I wonder how hard it is to find a beer at the Romney victory rally.

Both points are valid. OK, MSNBC is better than Fox in that they at least start from a foundation of reality before spinning the news hard leftward.

At this point looks like an actual wave (at least 30 seat gain) for the Dems in the House, and a loss of 1-3 Senate seats, which is quite an odd mix. Based on a combo of all the models I’m looking at (CNN, MSNBC, NYT, and 538).

I’m seeing tons of progressives winning…good on them. Maybe another myth: Bernie couldn’t/can’t win…will be put to bed too.

You didn’t watch in 2016? John King is always standing at the map usually digging into Florida districts ad nasuem.

Can someone explain why everyone is so sure Dems will take the House? I’m not up on the nitty gritty but it seems that we’re neck and neck with 2/3 of the vote in. What am I missing?

No it’s not.

I think MSNBC is better than FOX News and somewhat more inclined to fair reporting but they have very purposely chosen to stake out the polar opposite of FOX News figuring that is a good place to make money.

Damm Canucks with their high tech and falootin’ innovations … we’ve provided HB pencils here since 1902. Still haven’t switched to providing László Bíró’s invention from the 1930s yet though you can bring your own marking device to the booth and use it.

McCaskill is up in MO right now, but all the rural counties have yet to report. If only Hawley had weighed in on “legitimate rape”.

I just jacked off to that result.

Well, if it’s neck-and-neck before getting to the West Coast…?

Seems they’re having trouble with the machines in Broward - at least as of 10.05pm Eastern.

We really didn’t need to know that.

So, they are equivalent except that they are inclined to be fair? That’s not being equivalent.

Fox literally had their hosts on the stage with a Republican president in a political rally less than 24 hours ago. MSNBC has no equivalent of that. Both sides are not equal just because they are on opposite sides.
