Jake Tapper made a good point that the polling models for Virginia appear to be hosed.

I still think Warner pulls this out with 25% of Fairfax and Arlington still to report.

Did anybody NOT see this coming? I thought we've all accepted since 2010 that this year would be bad because it contained a bunch of Senate seats taken by Democrats in red states in 2008. Not going to bust out the suicide emotes about this yet.

Margin in KS-Sen now <1,000 votes. Margin in VA-Sen around 23k against Warner.

There's expecting a loss and then the reality of it actually happening. Made more frustrating by the Dems being utter cowards and absolutely deserving this rear end-kicking.

I don't understand how Florida can be so red. When ever I look at an election map, every major population center with the exception of Jacksonville and I guess the western half of the panhandle is blue. Are there really that man people living in the desolate green gaps between Tampa and Tallahassee?

Broward and Miami-Dade are both 75%+ in and Scott is still up by 80k votes. Now I'm getting worried. :(

I never figured we had a realistic shot at getting Rick Scott out. :( Purple, even blue in national elections, but sweet gently caress does this state suck otherwise.

Except in national elections. When there's also more scrutiny about things going wonky in the voting booths. And less overt voter suppression.

You can't understand how a state that has a few large urban areas and vast rural areas can elect Republican governors? There are like five of them off the top of my head that have done that in the last four years.

You can bust the suicide emotes if they sweep AK, NC and VA because that means we're getting a 55-45 Senate which will be difficult to overcome even in 2016.
