LIVE THREAD--Election Day 2010!

[SE Mom]

Post what you're seeing, hearing in your district, county or state during the day and evening- anecdotal or otherwise!

GOTV!!!!!

[grateful]

Will Rossi make it? It’s 50.5/49.5 in Murray’s favor with 65% in.

It depends on how many votes King County manufactures. I'm hopeful, but not incredibly so. I want Patty Murray gone so bad I can taste it.

[Lazlo in PA]

Toomey was at that exact deficit with 85% reporting. He won by 2%. Maybe the same thing is happening. Rural areas always lag.

I don't think it's a coincidence that Republicans held the governorship of California for 16 years after Gov. Moonbeam.

Memory loss, I really can not he is back in.

there’s nothing Jerrry can do but make all his union thugs mad.....thats it...he has to close the budget gap and there ain’t enough taxpayers to make his wet dream come true...sorry for the crudeness...

[pianomikey]

Sad to say it doesn’t look as though Ruth McClung is going to defeat Raul Grijalva in AZ-7. It’s 49-46 with 68% reported. Damn, I was so hoping for that one.

As was I. I knew it was a long shot in a 2-1 Democrat-advantaged district, but it would have been sweet. Grijalva squeaking by with 2% of the vote has its own little savor, though.

Memory loss, I really can not he is back in.

It's like a really bad dream, isn't it? California has gone downhill so much since I was a youngun.

[Scott from the Left Coast]

Well, the bright side is that this was Reid’s last win and his day’s of wielding a lot of power are in the past. All he is going to see this coming term is his power bleeding away. The last 4 years of his new term he will be nothing more than a very old hanger-on.

And his son will not succeed him as he wished.

King County still has a lot out, and in the Colorado race, pretty much only Denver and Boulder are left.

Hate to say it, but I think Rossi and Buck are both going down.

[TenthAmendmentChampion]

Thanks! We hopped over from Devin Nunes’s district over here to my new representative Ben Quayle!

[caww]

Many were complaining CNN was calling the race...hang in there it aint over til it’s counted.

An Open Note to Establishment Republicans

Dear Establishment Republicans:

We, your newly elected colleagues, did not get elected to come to Washington to come and play ball with you. You are going to have to play ball with us. If you don't, we will take the ball, and then proceed introduce you to the bat in a most unpleasant manner - big end first.

With all due respect,

Your newly elected, fellow congress members

Sounds like Angle isn’t conceding anytime soon either.

Angle campaign: “Reid never got above 46 percent of the vote and tonight he gets 51 percent? Fishy!

Angle campaign private suite: “Reid never got above 46 percent of the vote and tonight he gets 51 percent? Ashjian and “none of the above” got less than 3 percent combined. Something fishy is going on.”

UPDATE 3 - I just met with two campaign people who said that Angle and her generals and her lawyers are huddling.

They have not yet decided to concede. Campaign says that the gap between Reid and Angle is now down to 24,000 from 36,000 previously. “People’s spirits up. Hope is not squashed,” says one insider with the campaign.

I completely agree, but let’s not lose perspective. +6 in the Senate is a huge gain. That’s like winning 49-20 in the first game of the NFL playoffs :)

It’s official! MN just elected its first Pubbie Senate majority in 38 years!!

THIS HAS BEEN A REMARKABLE NIGHT!

Minnesota?? You mean, WALTER MONDALE Minnesota? Congrats, that's amazing!! I actually had the esteemed pleasure of attending college at MLC in New Ulm, and still have dear friends and family there. I'm very happy for you.

I almost can’t believe it!

Waiting on pins and needles, praying that Mark Dayton will be defeated for governor! He would be a disaster for this state!
