Go get em. Do your duty.
-
Already did my absentee ballot. Straight GOP, all the way down the line.
-
Not real sure that I want to vote straight GOP down the line. Rick Perry, for example, is basically another RINO. However, I don't think that Kathie Glass would be a decent governor and then we have the typical Dem, Bill White running for Gov. This might be a case where I have to hold my nose and vote.
-
I changed the title of your thread slightly. You will be our official live thread for election day. :-)
-
Bill White (gag), but at least he'll lose. Voted by mail the other day to toss Patty Murray, the bitch in tennis shoes, and hope she loses too.
-
I only have two end results that I want to see.
On the national level: Pelosi taking her little hammer and getting the **** out of sight forever. BITCH!!!
On the local level: Gary Peters, obamas lap Dog, getting tossed on his ass.
I swear to do my part at 9 AM.
-
I know it's a bit early to start drinking but you could treat yourselves to one of these: the official drink of the Republican party!

The deed is done. Straight Republican. Maybe one day I can say straight conservative.

Voted last week, got a little sick in my mouth when voting for Gov. I sure hope we can survive Perry a few more years. We really need to start looking for a better Governor.
I sure do hope this election takes care of Eddie Bernice Johnson. And that Dallas gets the green light to sell beer wherever.

Voted circa 9:00 a.m. central time, 8:00 a.m. mountain time.
Straight Republican ticket. As usual.
Anyway.
Early clues: What to watch in Tuesday's elections
How early will America know if it's a Republican romp or if Democrats somehow minimized their damage? There should be plenty of clues Tuesday evening — and long before bedtime. Final results in some states might not be known for days. But trends could be evident from the Midwest and South — especially from Indiana, Kentucky and West Virginia — even before most of the nation has finished dinner.
Six states have polls that close at 7 p.m. EDT, and 16 more close by 8 p.m., featuring plenty of telling races in the East and Midwest. First up: Indiana, Kentucky, South Carolina, Georgia, Virginia and Vermont, offering the first hard evidence of just how big a night it's going to be for Republicans.
Not even their mothers expect the Democrats to gain ground. It's just a question of whether they fall back or over a cliff.
If the GOP can unseat Democratic Rep. Baron Hill in Indiana's always-hard-fought 9th congressional district, for example, that's a good sign for the expected Republican takeover of the House. And if they can capture all three seats they've got an eye on in Indiana, that could well signal a GOP hurricane.
On the other hand, if Democrats hold their ground in Indiana, and if their Kentucky Senate candidate, Jack Conway, can beat back Republican Rand Paul, it could be an early indication that GOP gains won't challenge the record books and that the tea party is serving weak brew.
Expectations are high that Republicans will pick up at least the 40 seats they need to retake control of the House after four years of Democratic rule. That should start in the Midwest.
In Ohio, where polls close at 7:30 p.m., six Democratic-held seats are in jeopardy. In Pennsylvania and Illinois, where polls close at 8 p.m., 10 more are at risk.
If Midwestern incumbents such Joe Donnelly in Indiana and John Boccieri in Ohio fall, Republicans are probably headed for huge gains nationwide. Measure Democratic resilience if the party manages to hold on to a pair of imperiled Georgia seats, and if Rep. John Spratt can win a new term in South Carolina.
Worth watching in Florida (an 8 p.m. poll close): a rematch between Democratic Rep. Ron Klein and Republican Allen West. A loser two years ago, West rides anti-incumbent sentiment and is easily outspending his opponent.
Even if Republicans demonstrate early strength Tuesday night, it will take time for them to lock in enough districts to ensure a GOP majority. That's because the West Coast states of California, Washington and Oregon are home to 67 House districts. In 2006, it was 1 a.m. before it became clear that control of the House had passed from Republicans to Democrats.
It would take a true blowout for Republicans to pick up the 10 Senate seats they need for control. The first should be an easy one, in Indiana. But if Paul can't keep Kentucky in the GOP column, it would be a sign of strength for Democrats and a symbolic setback for the tea party activists.
Republicans should have an easy time holding onto one of their own vacant seats in Ohio, where former Republican Rep. Rob Portman is favored. But keep an eye on West Virginia, another 7:30 poll close state, where Democratic Gov. Joe Manchin and Republican millionaire industrialist John Raese are tussling over the seat long held by the late Democrat Robert Byrd. A Republican victory there could keep alive GOP hopes of a majority.
Three-term Sen. Blanche Lincoln could be the first Senate Democratic incumbent to fall, when polls close in Arkansas at 8:30 p.m.
Polls close at 10 p.m. in the most closely watched race of the night: Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid's battle in Nevada against tea party favorite Sharron Angle.
Even if Republicans show huge strength, the nation still could go to sleep Tuesday night with unanswered questions about the makeup of the Senate: Polls don't close until 1 a.m. in Alaska, where it could take days or weeks to determine the winner of a three-way race for Republican Sen. Lisa Murkowski's seat.
How long could the suspense drag on?
In 2006, it took until 8:30 p.m. the day after the election to determine that Democrats had taken control of the Senate from Republicans. And in 2008, it was nearly eight months after Election Day before it was determined that Democrat Al Franken had won Minnesota's Senate race, giving Democrats control of their 60th seat in the Senate, exactly the number needed to overcome a Republican filibuster.
For all the focus on Congress, there will be plenty of suspense over how big a real estate-grab the Republicans can manage in governors' mansions around the country.
South Carolina will offer an early measure Tuesday night of tea party strength: Republican Nikki Haley trailed for months before Sarah Palin's endorsement and a tea party surge helped her nail the GOP nomination. Now she's favored over Democratic state Sen. Vincent Sheehen.
Over the next few hours, results will roll in for the blue-state Northeast, where Democrats are facing tough GOP challenges in Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Vermont, Maine and Connecticut. If Democratic Gov. Deval Patrick goes down in the liberal bastion of Massachusetts, it's a sign that the tea party fury over taxes and big government is spreading far and wide.
There's plenty of suspense in Florida, with an 8 p.m. poll close, in the battle between Republican businessman Rick Scott and Democrat Alex Sink, the state's chief financial officer.
Close contests are expected in late poll closing states Oregon and Hawaii. And polls don't close until 11 p.m. in California, where billionaire businesswoman Meg Whitman and former Gov. Jerry Brown are vying to replace outgoing Republican Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger.

My voting is done. Republican for the big ones, but I tossed in a Libertarian for the Lieutenant Governor because I really dislike the Republican choice, and yes, the Democrat choice would be worse, but I couldn't vote for Abel Maldonado.
-
The big ones to watch here for me are Lt. Gov, Rep. District 5, and Education Superintendent as the Dems in these races have went so negative I want to see their tears.

I'm hoping we (finally) get a Republican governor. My ballot is filled out already but I'm waiting to see if my son's ballot gets here in time so I can drop his off at the same time. As usual, the powers that be got his ballot to him late. He filled it out on Sunday and took it to the post office on base yesterday to try to send it overnight. They couldn't guarantee him anything but said they'd try (yeah, sure).

every election that rossi has run in has gone to triple overtime so that the WA dems could count the convict vote. if it is even remotely close in NV, reid will contest every single vote until the very end. alaska can take a week in a relatively smooth election.

Done....both of us......unfortunately several years ago when the Dems were in charge, they eliminated the ballot option to vote "straight ticket" in Missouri, so you have to go through the entire ballot, which is OK I guess.......voted Republican in every race.
Our ballot is fairly complex, because we had about eighteen judges that were up for "retention"......it's tough here, as there is no apparent place that a voter can go to evaluate the performance of these judges, besides the Bar Association......and reading their recommendations is tanamount to allowing the inmates to evaluate the asylum.

Most polls have predicted that the closely watched Delaware Senate race between Democrat Chris Coons and Republican tea-party favorite Christine O’Donnell was going to be anything but close. One poll last week had Mr. Coons up by 10 points, while all the others gave him a far more comfortable margin.
But Democrats in Delaware remain skittish.
In a noon email alert to supporters, Coons campaign manager Christy Gleason said close monitoring of voter turnout in the state’s 41 representative districts showed “lower turnout in New Castle and Kent counties than we’re comfortable with.â€

Yeah, that judge thing was goofy. I've got a problem with turning judges into politicians. What's wrong with them being appointed for a specific period of time (by governors or other politician), then going off to do whatever former judges do? Term limits for judges?
-
Poll Closing Times (http://www.examiner.com/elections-2010-in-national/poll-closing-times)
Just for reference. Looks like first states will be closed in three hours.

Yeah.....I don't want judges with an agenda, but I suspect what we need is a public vetting like SCOTUS nominees receive in the senate, where their prior judicial decisions are available, and discussed. Unless they have changed it recently, judges in this state are selected by a panel of trial lawyers, that submit lists to the Governor for a final decision. The public is never a part of the process until they come up for a retention vote, and when that happens we have no metric with which to measure their performance.
It sucks, but I'm not certain what kind of a system would improve it. Term limits might, but these would possibly backfire, by forcing a really good jurist out, and replacing him/her with someone considerably worse.

AFTERNOON UPDATE! The Boston Globe-Democrat confirms our anecdotal evidence: Turnout is high in the suburbs, not so much in the cities. That is GREAT NEWS!

Indicator Number One: I am told that one Democratic strategist, helping a television network with Election Night analysis, just declared that the Democrats were experiencing something on par with mass murder. The GOP counterpart looked at the same numbers and concluded the Democrats are, so far, not getting the urban turnout they need; suburban and rural areas are seeing big turnouts.
Indicator Number Two: One Republican who is seeing early indicators in Florida says, “If this holds, we win everything.â€
http://www.nationalreview.com/campaign-spot/252009/first-reactions-exits-if-not-exits-themselves
I remain guardedly optimistic.

Okay, I’m posting this with the insistence that everybody understand this for what it is: An exit poll, conducted by a college-associated polling institute (Muhlenberg), done from 7 a.m. to 10 a.m. this morning in Pennsylvania:
Turnout: 47 percent Republican, 47 percent Democrat, 6 percent independent.
Senate: Pat Toomey (R) 51 percent, Joe Sestak (D) 47 percent
Governor: Tom Corbett (R) 55 percent, Dan Onorato (D) 43 percent
15th congressional fistrict: Charlie Dent (R) 53 percent, John Callahan (D) 42 percent
Obviously, things can change in the midday, afternoon and evening votes . . .
Now, this comment is funny:
A supermarket I frequent in mid-Fairfield County, CT is giving out free Italian bread this afternoon to anyone showing their "I Voted" sticker. As you can imagine, it's a pretty blue county (in more ways than one today) and the table of loaves looked pretty untouched.
(I can't help wonder if they were making a statement about bread lines...)

Barney Frank May be in Trouble: Massachusetts Turnout High
Republican Charles Baker's campaign to spur Governor Deval Patrick (D) from office might have reason to celebrate before the polls close at eight o'clock.
Incumbent Barney Frank may suffer if the Republican voters also turn out just like earlier this year in the Scott Brown election. Brown received 53% in all of Massachusetts and took the 4th Congressional District. If Sean Bielat can turn out a significant number of voters, he may be the next Congressman from that district.
After all, Frank had to have Bill Clinton come in and campaign for him and Bielat has been pushing very hard, perhaps bringing this to the wire.

The Big Zero must not be a baseball fan.
Amid beer and champagne flowing in the clubhouse of the San Francisco Giants late Monday, one thing was missing.
The president. Not the president of the ball club. The President of the United States.
Giants players and personnel thought they'd hear from President Barack Obama by telephone after San Francisco beat the Texas Rangers 3-1 in Game 5 to capture its first World Series title since 1954.
But Giants spokeswoman Staci Slaughter tells KNTV they have yet to take that call.
Slaughter says team personnel gave the White House the private line into manager Bruce Bochy's office, as well as other numbers for Obama to get in touch — but so far, nothing.

Feingold is still trailing @ 41 percent.
-
I see Drudge says Barney Frank won
There are strange results here -- all the big races have the Republicans behind. Many of the state legislature Republicans are doing well, so I don't know what to think..
-
Feingold is losing?????
Yup and convincingly too. 58%-41% but with only 10% reporting.
Woohoo! Chet Edwards losing in TX to Bill Flores. That's another R pickup.
-
From Drudge Report.
RECORD: DEMS LOST 72 SEATS IN 1938...

Damn, Sheila Jackass Lee is winning 70-28 in Houston.

Blumenthal is leading McMahon by five with 50% reporting.

I am glad that Rep. Grayson is out. 8) ;D

I am glad that Rep. Grayson is out. 8) ;D
He can spend more time at the DUmp now.

Eddie Bernice Johnson and Sheila Jackson Lee are in it for another term. Sorry guys. ???

He can spend more time at the DUmp now.
They DUmmies are crying bloody murder about this too.
But the DUmmies are also using this time to urge him onto better things.
Moles included... ;)

I'll try to see if this slips in.
The site is so slow that when I hit "post," it tells me of other posts having been made.
So I hit "post" again, and it takes so long that it tells me of yet other posts having been made.
And so I hit "post" a third time, and it takes so long that it tells me of further new posts having been made.
It's like trying to go in a door, but traffic going out the door keeps bumping one out of the way.
Anyway.
CBS has +3 in the Senate, +21 in the House now.
Those figures will probably be outdated before this post finally makes it in, but anyway.....
-
Joe Wilson (SC-2) of "YOU LIE" fame, is down by .1% with 61% of the vote counted (!)

Niki Haley wins the governor's race in SC.

Good. That one had me worried. Good to hear about Haley as well after all the shit that was slung at her.
-
+3, +30
Republicans have now won 179 seats, their exact number in the House before the election.
So all Republican victories from here on out are gravy.
Dems, 115, as compared with 256 currently in the House.

Republicans now have one more Senate seat (confirmed) than they did prior to the election.
So any other (R) wins in the Senate from here on out are gravy.
Forty-two thus far.

Fox just showed Toomey up 20,000!

I'm even more worries about rossi in WA. that guy has already had two state wide races stolen out from under him.

Yup. I remember voting for Rossi for Gov back in '04. That was a freaking travesty the way Gregoire stole that one. I hope Patty goes home tonight. This race is in my top 3.

Tim Kaine is sad...
CNN (http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2010/11/02/dnc-chairman-takes-home-state-losses-hard/)
Now the House delegation will be overwhelmingly Republican, 8-3.
"That is discouraging. But you know, it is an indication Virginia is a very closely divided state like most of the country now," Kaine said.
Closely divided? Must be using that DUmmy math.
-

We still are waiting for Washoe county.

STOLTZ, STEVEN (LBT) 4.55% 987

23 of 64 precincts reporting in so far, so it could still go either way. Keep your fingers crossed for us.
And, big surprise, McCain and Brewer are winners. Yeah, Republicans (or RINOs in McCain's case).
-
MA -- so disappointing. A few state rep races when Republican (which is a nice start), but totally disgusted Frank and Patrick remain.
-
the partial results in NV have son of cadaver up 3%, and we know he's going to get pasted. so we must be looking at mostly dem precincts right now.
politico only has clark and mineral county in right now for senate.

Nothing yet.

MA -- so disappointing. A few state rep races when Republican (which is a nice start), but totally disgusted Frank and Patrick remain.
at this point it appears Republicnas have doubled their presence in the legislature, and have lost all of the big races. Sadly, at this point that projection includes Mary Z. All Bump is going to do is rubber stamp whatever Patrick wants.
-
Boxer and Fiorina at this time has a 2% margin with 8% of precinct reporting.

Karin`s district NY 23 just moved to a tie.

gene taylor has lost in MS-4. that's a flip. the blue dogs are getting slaughtered in droves.

Watching Boehner's speech. He's getting choked up. A lot more humble than Botox Nancy.

That jackwagon Phil "I don't care about the constitution" Hare lost.

Sweet. Nevada has me worried though.
Wonder how Pete Stark Raving Mad is going to do. Probably win, but a brother can hope.

Sandoval is beating Rory Reid for Governor. That's one less Reid ruining Nevada.
We are only at 13% in for counts. There is still some hope left in our house. I want to know what's going on up north.

Kasich is governor of Ohio

CBS (the election map I've been watching) just turned 218 for the house. It's offical!!

Whoa ho.
It's over for Bela Pelosi.
Republicans have 219 confirmed wins in the House (218 needed).

Good riddance, Queen Nancy !! Or should I say, "Ding, Dong, the Witch is dead"??

Heck yeah. Rock solid conservative.

Just waiting to get rid of the other one.

Looking at AZ-7. Ruth McClung (the hot rocket scientist) vs. Raul (Boycott AZ) Grivalja. Tied 47-47 with a quarter of precincts reporting. Hope McClung wins.

No, they had Sestak as the winner on their interactive map for about an hour until the Philly votes dried up along with Sestak's margin.
-
I can't wait until we get to move out of Nevada.
Burn baby burn.
NV isn't half as hosed as CA. that place is going to need a trillion dollars of federal money just to not collapse, and the house republicans will let it implode.

I'm thirsty. Need to grab a beer.
Lincoln Chafee wins in RI.

True, but Nevada is still full of dumb shits. 54% idiots.

Cool... Rick Larsen is losing in WA-02. Makes me happy. My first election I was living in his district and got to vote against him.
Of course, he's only down by 1500 votes, so multiple recounts of found ballots from the broom closet will put him over the top.
-
rossi is down .6 with 61% in.
-
Buck (R) is pouring it on in Colorado. The major blue precincts are already in.
-
Mark Kirk has won Obama's seat.
-
Well, the (R)s in the House are up 52 right now, with lots more races to be determined.
I dunno why CBS hasn't called South Dakota for the (R)s yet; it leads me to believe the "mainstream" news media is holding off calling a lot of races that favor (R)s at the moment.
By the way, in 1994, the (R)s picked up 54 seats, and in 1946, 55--this is probably going to exceed them both.
franksolich is happy, happy, happy.

(R)s now up 6 in the Senate, 54 in the House.
The "mainstream" news media still isn't calling a lot of races.
Suspiciously, (R) races.
-
Okay, CBS finally accepted the long-ago inevitable.
South Dakota for the (R), making the current pick-up being 55 seats.
-
You know, it took the Dems--I looked it up--two cycles (2006 and 2008) to gain 51 seats in the House.
The (R)s are currently standing at a gain of 55 in one election.
-
It's easily going to be 60 gained in the House. Probably around 65 seats gained.
-
Up to 56 seats gained now.
-
Twenty-seven House races still not called. It seems the majority of them have likely (R) winners.

Twenty-seven House races still not called. It seems the majority of them have likely (R) winners.
Listening to the news this morning, I think the number is down to 11 or 12.

My local News/Talk favorite McKenna was majorly excited yesterday. I can't WAIT for the program today. It should be excellent.
I have to tell you guys; I'm just ecstatic right now. There were some races where I slapped my head in dismay, for for the most part, REAL CHANGE has come back to America. However, they better be in service to us instead of to their pockets. Otherwise, I think they know what will happen. I think they will serve us well though.
-
You know, some votes aren't even done tallying. For example, Ruth McClung vs. the execrable Raul Grijalva in Arizona. Latest news says nobody's claiming victory.

rossi conceded. assuming all those write-ins in alaska are for pricess lisa, we really need her to caucus with the republicans. not stripping her of her committee leadership suddenly seems like a much better idea than when they did it. she would be hella pissed right now if they had done that.

I think that she ultimately will, but she was being waaaay to cute about it when she was interviewed on greta's show just before the election.
but, umm, she also said that she would support the winner of the primary, and that didn't happen.

One guy I served with - a bassoon player no less - is the most ardent, shrill, asinine, misinformed, and ridiculous lib I think I've ever run across. A great guy by all accounts - but he's drunk so much of the WA Kool-Aid (he lives in Olympia) his eyes are permanently glazed over.
I'm convinced it's in the water. :p
