Just bookmarked a site to keep up with this cliffhanger.
GO BUCK!
Where are you finding the precinct details? I can’t seem to find that info.
Congrats to the SoCons for mobilizing the Lefties to come out and vote against that ballot measure. They can pat themselves on the back for getting out that Dem vote!
Those write-ins in AK are probably mostly from Anchorage. I’d bet the outlying votes go for Miller, just as in the primaries, and those will take days to come in.
Thank you much!

I think that's exactly what is happening. Kinda curious that much of the state is in except these two very blue counties.
Buck is in real trouble. A lot of Denver and Boulder has not reported.
The polls seemed to overstate the enthusiasm gap, almost all the Democrats (Senate candidates) performed better than the polls.
That is disappointing.
Also if you scroll down you can see the Congressional results. Those are helpful because they list the precincts reporting as well and it is easier to determine which areas are outstanding.
Roughly speaking:
Co-1 is Denver
Co-2 is Boulder and the northern part of the “high country”
CO-3 is the western third of the state
CO-4 is the eastern third
CO-5 is CO Springs and its environs
CO-6 is a chunk that runs from south of Denver to north of Colorado Springs
CO-7 is Golden and the Western Denver burbs
We are going to win 60+ house seats.
Can’t do that without an enthusiasm gap.
The deck was stacked against us in the Senate this year, not enough Democratic senate seats were up for re-election.
All things considered +6 to +8 was a great accomplishment.
Boulder and Denver counties are not finished yet and they are going heavily for Bennett.
83% in.
Buck up by 7,200
“All things considered +6 to +8 was a great accomplishment.”
Agreed, but with better selection of candidates in the primaries we could have done better.
It was amazing to see how many here were absolutely convinced we would get 10-12 seats, in face of all the data showing how difficult that would be.
Does this mean you’re recanting your “Buck is swirling” comment?

I think our slate of candidates were fine overall, there were some greats one and others weren’t quite as good, but you’re never going to have a year where every candidate is outstanding.
I never expected to take the Senate, people wanted to believe that I can’t blame them. I do think toward the end the media printed some stories to set the expectations so high for the Republicans that they can spin the failure to hit those lofty goals as somehow a setback for Republicans rather than the stunning rebuke for Obama that this election was, we shouldn’t fall for it.
