YES! Bye bye Oberstar. (too bad Obey (WS) isn’t joining him)
Well Peterson wasn’t in danger. So Walz was the only other one we could have got. Too bad. Gov is close. Rat up by 10k.
Barella narrowly lost in NM but Pearce won.
Carnahan (the male) nearly lost, so close. Damn.
Looks like we’ll be just shy of the 246 in 1946 but it will be most GOP House since then.
Nice state leg gains. MI, PA, OH, NC!, IN, TN, MT, NH looks like a huge GOP edge, how did Lynch win? Got the lower house in Iowa but not the Senate. Close but no cigar for New Mexico House (rat forever I forget if we’ve ever had it). I don’t know what happened in Bama. Sad failure in Nevada.
Potential disaster in NY. Senate is up in the air, sounds like the rats will keep it. The rats could go hog wild in redistricting there. I do note though that we beat the State Senator up north that the (DC not local) rats wanted to run for the 23rd CD, Dan Aubertine.
Lisa Murkowski, uhg. Please no.
The GOP took over the WI and MN statehouses.
Obey retired, so he IS gone. He has been replaced by Duffy (R).
Oberstar’s loss may be the most astonishing of the House races. Amazing.
The NY State Senate will have at least 30 Republicans and 29 Democrats, with three races too close to call. Republican Martins leads Democrat Johnson in SD-07 by 51%-49% with 98% reporting; this one should go our way, which would give us 31 seats (enough for a tie). There are two districts in which the Republican and the Democrat are listed as each having received 50%, both of which currently have the Democrat slightly ahead: SD-60 (Democrat Thompson vs. Republican Grisanti) with 99% of precincts reporting, and (more promising) SD-37 (Democrat Oppenheimer vs. Republican Cohen) with only 81% of precincts reporting.
I’m not sure how much leverage we would have in redistricting if there was a 31-all tie in the Senate, so we really need one of those two tied districts to go our way.
