Okay, this wasn't a good night for me, because I couldn't get on to any of the official election returns web-sites, and had to dash all around finding numbers.

So the head's spinning, and time to hit the sack.

Karl Rove says Hoffman is still likely to win in New York.

I suspect when I wake up in the morning, that particular election will be up in the air.
Good night Frank.  Thanks for your hard work.

Because the remaining Republican party die-hards are just as much the mind-numbed robots the moonbats claim conservatives are?

Frank, thank you for the fine work sir. This has been a great thread!
I can see November 2 from my house!!!

No, my friends, there’s only one really progressive idea. And that is the idea of legally limiting the power of the government. That one genuinely liberal, genuinely progressive idea — the Why in 1776, the How in 1787 — is what needs to be conserved. We need to conserve that fundamentally liberal idea. That is why we are conservatives. --Bill Whittle

New Jersey Hospital Denies Claim That ACORN Workers Collected Absentee Ballots
FOXNews.com - November 03, 2009

A New Jersey hospital is denying accusations that ACORN workers have been inside collecting absentee ballots for the state's gubernatorial race.

East Orange General Hospital CEO Kevin Slavin said Tuesday that "all proper protocols" were followed as part of its program to allow patients to vote via absentee ballot, and that no third-party groups were signing up patients.

"Other than the specifically designated and trained staff to hand out and collect these ballots, no advocacy groups were authorized nor allowed access to the hospital to hand out absentee ballots to patients as has been recently reported in unsubstantiated blogs and on political talk shows," he said in a written statement.

Slavin was referring to reports that claimed people wearing ACORN shirts were spotted distributing and collecting absentee ballots at a hospital in the area. The Wall Street Journal reported this Monday, as did BigGovernment.com -- the Web site that publicized recent undercover operations in which ACORN workers were filmed giving tax advice to two activists posing as a pimp and prostitute.

The claim comes on top of reports that the New Jersey Democratic State Committee has admitted to paying for a robo-call promoting independent gubernatorial candidate Chris Daggett and criticizing Republican Chris Christie.

I would pay real money to be a fly on the wall in the White Houses tomorrow.  Just watching Rahm-beau come staggering in about noonish with the bloodshot eyes and shit alone would be worth the price of admission.

Dead fish this, cocksucker.

Most of these elections, VA somewhat, are in typical moonbat-strongholds, as well.

Melvin wins Supreme Court race

HARRISBURG - Joan Orie Melvin, a Republican judge from Western Pennsylvania, prevailed in the Philadelphia suburbs yesterday to claim a decisive win in the hard-fought battle for a vacancy on the state Supreme Court. Melvin's victory shifts the political balance on the state's most powerful bench to Republican, and could portend a re-energized conservative base in the 2010 gubernatorial and congressional elections.

With 91 percent of ballots counted, Melvin had won every suburban county around Philadelphia except Montgomery, where Democrat Jack Panella of Easton led by only a few hundred votes.

Bloomberg reelected NY mayor

NEW YORK — New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg won reelection in an unexpectedly tight race, after the media tycoon changed the city's law on term limits and spent a record amount of his own fortune to dominate the campaign.

Bloomberg had been forecast to win by double digits, but squeaked by with 51 percent against 46 percent for his Democratic challenger Bill Thompson, with nearly all votes counted.

"Everybody was shocked," a Bloomberg aide told The New York Times.

In his victory speech, Bloomberg downplayed the slim margin, saying it had been "a hard-fought victory in a very difficult year."

Why is it such a surprise.  In every single state where gay marriage has gone before the people (some multiple times, such as CA), it's been voted down EVERY SINGLE TIME.

And that is in 31 states so far, almost enough for a Constitutional Amendment.

Does that 31 INCLUDE the states that - like Commiefornia - had to make it an amendment to their constitution in order to shut the peter puffers up?

I think so. They said on Fox and Friends this morning that voters in 31 states had rejected legalizing gay marriage when given the chance to vote on it.
