**Election Day 2014 - LIVE THREAD**

Free Republic Rocks! | November 4, 2014

[RKBA Democrat]

Happy Election Day everyone! I figured I'd go ahead and get the election day thread started. Polls open on the east coast in a little less than an hour.

Please be sure to post observations of interest if you went to the polls today.

[DoughtyOne]

As of this post time:

Senate: Republicans have locked up 47 seats, ahead in 5 more
Senate: Democrats have locked up 40 seats, ahead in 2 more

House: Republicans have locked up 174 seats, ahead in 36
House: Democrats have locked up 103 seats, ahead in 28

Governors: Republicans have locked up 19 seats, ahead in 7
Governors: Democrats have locked up 11 seats, ahead in 6


I would like to invite folks to use the Los Angeles Times Senate, House, and Nationwide State Gubantorial candidate breakdowns.  It's a fairly good indicator of where things are headed.

Note: Make sure ALL is selected.  Then you can click on Senate, House, or Governors

These categories show current wins and gains.  (Ex: Republican = 44 +4 / Democrats = 38+2)  correction Note: + denotes leading in that many reaces in addition to already won

Fox calls it for WALKER! Fantastic! My favorite Governor! Kick ass Scott!

Chris Mathews will have to be hospitalized for depression, lol. He looks like he’s lost the person closest to him in the whole world.

52% reporting and there is less than 3,000 between Scott Brown and Jeanne “IRS” Shaheen in NH. Perhaps it was called too soon?

[rainee]

Yayyy!! Walker wins

[Hoodat]

Gillespie was a long shot too bad they didn’t help him out more

Help him out more? They didn't help him out at all. Heck, the only reason he was the nominee is because the GOP needed a warm body on the ballot and Marshall Coleman already said 'no'.

[daler]

Shy of a Gillespie win, the biggest reason to celebrate tonight.

[TNMOUTH]

I/m not...we should win both

[caww]

...”Cruz would be excellent....We all need to get behind ONE candidate and make sure he is our nominee or else we will windup with a mitt, jeb or worse christie or something.”...

I so agree with your comment....I’m in Cruz’z court unless the winds change and he doesn’t run....

[caww]

I’ve also got to catch up....unfortunately my state went to the Democrats...but we’ve still got good news in other states from what I’ve seen thus far...

[caww]

I need a good on line ‘live’ other than Fox....otherwise I’m stuck with hearing Rove...

[tanknetter]

Montana Republican Daines wins seat. Is this +6? (CNN)

+5.

So if my numbers are right we need to win three of the following to assure Senate control: NC, KS, IA, LA, GA, VA.

[MarchonDC09122009]

You said it! Scary that we have a 47% brainwashed / brain dead bunch that would rather ride in the wagon, vs pull it.

Conservatives desperately need a brilliant public education strategy and message that resonates with everyone, ie: economic-job insecurity-debt-tax burden is caused reckless corrupt democraps.
Republicans better have great ideas, clear results and communication that pierces the MSM-academic iron curtain.

[caww]

10 House gain is great...more power to Boehner via Fox

[Raebie]

Most of the remaining NC votes are in Mecklenburg county (Charlotte)

[sissyjane]

CNN calls COL for Gardner!!!
