Wolf Blitzer on CNN:
“Looks like the Democrats could face an uphill battle tonight.”
Ya think, Wolf?
ETA: Go Jerry Costello; 12th District, Illinois.
Alvin Green loses! There’s a shocker.
I understand that CNN is trusting polls and exit polls, but I still find it mildly ridiculous that they show a graphic giving the Delaware race to Coons with the vote total 0-0.
The House seat that Mike Castle gave up to rund and lose against Christine O’Donnell just went to a Democrat. O’Donnell can’t be very popular with the Republican establishment in Delaware right now.
Some of the other leaked exit polling shows Michael Bennet winning in Colorado. If any Senate seat should have been an easy pickup for the R’s, this was it. He was an unknown, and was appointed by Obama when Ken Salazar was tapped for the Sec. of Interior spot. He’d been polling behind his opponent all fall, but made a comback in the last few weeks. His opponent is a Tea Party favorite who beat the establishment candidate in the primary. Governor looks to be a safe Dem win as well. The state Republicans are up there with Delaware for blowing a great opportunity.
On that note, I’m going to be interested to see what happens to the state house and senate. I’ve read comments by state Republicans that it doesn’t matter if Maes gets under 10% and relegates the party to minor party status, as they’ll just simply change the law next year. It’ll be fun to watch if that doesn’t turn out to be quite as simple as they’d like to think.
Hello, when was she ever? Rove and the other RINOS deserve most of the blame for this.
Karl Rove is a RINO? Okay . . . Backs away slowly
Okay, now some real votes coming in from Delaware. Dems Carney and Coons both coming in well over 60%.
Holy Crap!
perhaps they are considered rinos by tea types?
looks like they are claiming wv for manchin.
WV-1 looks to be a squeaker.
WVa. called for the Dems. Connecticut as well. The worst case scenario is not playing out for the Dems. Looks like they keep the Senate.
Between CT and CA, it looks like $200M in personal funds have been spent in vain. I’ve woken up in Veags kicking myself for losing $300. I can’t imagine what McMahon and Whitman are going to feel like tomorrow morning.
Well, Coons was in scoring position at the time, so the projection is understandable.
And at least in Vegas, losing $300 will often get you at least a few watered down cocktails and a comp for a buffet breakfast…
Ms Whitman will be lucky if anyone would give her a few puffs on a legalized reefer-stick tomorrow morning.
The State of Delaware approves Pro-Masturbation Initiative
Yes, but how could they know that he wouldn’t be scared off by her failure to wax?
Looks like Boucher has been ousted in VA-9. This is my district, and I’m a little surprised. Boucher was long entrenched, for years the Democrat that Republicans would vote for round here. Representing a district with almost 20% uninsured population, he voted against the health care bill, but apparently that didn’t save him.
Next door in VA-5, Perriello is also going down, but that was more expected.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
I was rooting for him.
