I'm beat.  I'm dragged.  Too tired to look things up.

I'm happy, too; gloriously happy.

So as to make things easier, if anyone's so inclined, please give here the news of the elections in your state yesterday, so we don't have to scramble around looking for them.

No need for research or links or anything, just off the top of your head.

Nebraska was defiantly red last night, redder than I've ever seen it in my life.

Nebraska, in the heart of America, was probably the reddest state in the union last night.

There was supposed to have been a "close race" for the congressional district in Omaha, but it ended nearly 2-1 for the Republican incumbent.

No Senate race this year.  All three seats in the House, and all state executive offices, and nearly all of the state legislature, weren't only won by Republicans, but won by 2-1 or better margins.

Oh what a wonderful morning, oh what a wonderful day.

Republicans won EVERY major state office in OK yesterday from governor to insurance commissioner. They also held both houses of legislature and SQ 744 (the enormous tax hike for the NEA/OEA and pork slurping school admins) was defeated by 81%.

Pennsylvania went red--gloriously red. Our new governor, Tom Corbett, said he's going to look to NJ's gov Christie as a "model."

Sestak loses. The Spector of Specter (see what I did there?) is no more.

The legislature went republican.

A good day for PA. Finally.

I was ecstatically happy to see that Barletta, the pro-immigrant anti-illegal alien mayor of Hazleton, beat the incumbent Dem Kanjorski, and by a good margin.  This had been one of those "toss-ups."

Perry is Governor again.  We are sending back Eddie Bernice Johnson, and Shelia Jackson Lee much to my dismay.  Three new seats going to the Republicans~  Bill Flores TX-17 over Chet Edwards, and Quico Canseco TX-23 over Ciro Rodriguez (shout out to ToddWB for getting my interest up in that race) Farenthold TX-27 over Ortiz.   

Both Canseco and Farenthold's districts are on the TX-Mexico border.

And, we have 99 out of 150 seats going to the Republicans in the Texas State House.  Including my Rep. 
R.I.P. LC and Crockspot.  Miss you guys.

Well, here in California things stayed blue.  Not terribly surprising, but disappointing.  

Our new Governer is Jerry Brown and Boxer will continue to be our Senator.

A quick tally shows that we will be sending 32 Democrats and 21  Republicans to Congress.  That may change as one or two were very close, but for the most part it appears that most incumbents will be returning.  Pelosi got over 80% of her district's vote.

Our Propositions:

Marijuana legalization failed 54 to 46

$18 fee added to vehicle registration for state parks failed 58 to 42

State Budget voting requirements were lowered to a simple majority from 2/3rds by 55 to 45

Just look at the perverts, kooks, dope heads and other freaks that make live and vote in her district.

I feel for any normal folks that live there.

You're welcome sir.  I wonder if any on the island will remember him and that he was running.  Sure would be nice to see one of them give him a shout out so we can see all the down and dirty on the how's and why's of his loss.

Was soooo glad to see snake-y Lincoln Davis gone!!

And am especially glad that Haslam won. Now, I just hope he does as well as governor as he has done for Knoxville as mayor!!!

Missouri Update

7 of 9 Congressional Districts were won by Republicans.

With a couple of exceptions Florida went red.

The governor's race was so tight that the winner, Rick Scott (R) wasn't announced till mid morning. All the voter imitiatives I favored were favored by the majority.

The only setback was that all the state judges who pushed for a new $48 million 'Taj Mahal' 1st District Court of Appeals courthouse were retained. It's been a big scandal.

Also, Corrine "We're a movin' on up" Brown won her district again. But that was no surprise since it was Gerrymandered so that only a black person could possibly win. What was surprising is that her opponent, Mike Yost, who is Republican and white, actually got 34% of the vote. Brown's district runs from N.E. to Orlando, about halfway down the state. It's an abomination.

We have one of those.  It was designed and built so badly that lawyers immediately started complaining that they could not hold confidential meetings with their clients without being overheard.  So they moved them out of the new criminal justice center to an industrial park north of the city.

Alabama is much REDDER than before

Head line in morning paper--- "voters are seeing Red: GOP marches to majority"

State wide - from governor down RED [to close form results of Lt. governor in this mornings paper, but Rep. as narrow lead],
                 State Board of Education [incumbent] re-elected 1 Dem.

                 State wide for the last 136 years the Dems have control the house and senate, as of this election, the Reps now control Montgomery [Gov., Senate, House and Supreme Court]

County - commission, 5 members, only 1 of old remain, out of other 4, three Rep. 1 dem [Rep. control]
             - new commission to take office next week
             4 Circuit Court Judges were elected by dem. out of 24

I figured that Skelton would be a bit narrower race, but he's gone, and that's a good thing.....

A bit of clairification on Prop A, the earnings taxes in both St. Louis, and Kansas City are also "commuter taxes", and in the past, the commuters had no option to vote on these taxes that they had to pay (essentially taxation without representation).  Now the "commuters" also have a vote, which basically means that they are "history", and will be phased out over a ten-year period.  The urban welfare leaches will have to come up with another group to bleed.

Is something funny going on down there in Missouri?

I have to leave, but just saw a headline, about a congressional seat held by a Carnahan.

Did St. Louis manufacture some votes last night, as they did in the 2006 Senate race?

Really, Missouri should require that St. Louis report their votes first, the rest of the state holding back until then.  I'm really tired of St. Louis creating "votes" out of thin air like that.
