Three runoffs in Louisiana:
Senate- Mary Landrieu won only 42%, less than even Republicans had expected. I don’t see how she wins this.
LA-5 Voters kissed Vance McAllister goodbye. There will be a runoff with Democrat Monroe Mayor Jamie Mayo. The Republican will probably be physician Ralph Abraham.
:A-6 Another runoff, with Fast Eddie Edwards trying an improbable comeback. The Republican nominee is state Coastal Protection Authority Chair Garrett Graves.
Some more House results
AZ-2 Right now, Martha McSally leads Democrat incumbent Ron Barber by 36 votes. Anything is possible at this point.
IA-1 Not only did Bruce Braley lose his race for the Senate by surprisingly large margin, but his successor in the Housse will be a Republican. Rod Blum narrowly became the district’s first GOP Congressman since the 1980’s.
ME-2 Not only did Michael Michaud lose for Governor, but conservative businessman Bruce Poliquin upset state Senator Emily Cain, who was expected to win comfortably.
NE-2 Lee Terry was defeated Democrat state Senator Brad Ashford, who had run in 1994 and lost the Republican primary. Terry was a moron who largely engineered his own defeat.
NV-4 Great news, Assemblyman Crescent Hardy unseated ethically challenged Democrat by about 3,600 votes.
NY-25 Veteran ‘Rat/abortion enthusiast Louise Slaughter leads Gates Mayor Mark Assini by less than 600 votes in the Rochester area. A pickup here would be tremendous.
It is Abraham, the 3rd place guy conceded.
Hawaii, F them. I feel bad for the Duke. I’d probably feel worse if it had been clear Mufi had caused the rat to win but Ige was near 50%.
ME-2 is official, great gain of a 1994 loss. 2 seats in New England. I wish it was 5 (NH-2, CT-5, MA-9). All within 10 points those loses. In MA-6 the queer RINO got blown out by 14.
Hope the rats don’t steal all those close races in Cali, I especially want Johnny T to hold on in what would be the district with the smallest Romney % to elect a Republican.
In a GOP/GOP race in Cali Steve Knight (conservative AFAIK) beats Tony Strickland. Ironic, Strickland would have won a rematch with Brownley this year.
CA-31 is also a photo finish, looks like a narrow rat gain. So they narrowly gain, apparently, FL-2 (damn), CA-31 and it looks like NE-2 as well. Damn damn damn. So close to partying like it’s 1938.
GOP leaning FL-2 and NE-2 will be at the top of the 2016 target list. Minor blemishes, the biggest black eye is the election of Wolf in PA and the fraud/Liartarian vote stealing in VA. Also bad, the possible election of the illegal RINO/rat fusion ticket for Alaska Governor. CO Governor, close loss. And no leg gains for Illinois Republicans.
I bet Slaughter would have lost if that strong candidate from last time had rematched.
Iowa is one fairly narrow House race away from an all GOP Congressional delegation (both Houses) for the first time since the 50’s.
If I’m not mistaken we’re pretty assured of at least tying the 246 from 1946 in the House. At 243 (not counting Ose) which, plus the 2 seats in LA going to runoff which should be sure wins, plus WA-4 GOP/GOP race (Newhouse (Rino?) leads Didier) = 246.
If at least Ose, Johnny T, DeMaio, or McSally hold on, that gives that gives us 247. Then we can say “Hoover” as in there hasn’t been this many Republicans in the House since Hoover was President.
Senate will probably be 54, not counting if a little *itch is gonna switch to the winners. Should be 55, damn Virginia stolen. Actually should be 56, damn NH.
