A Republican will win that, right?

New York Times says the Dems get New Hampshire, Virginia, and North Carolina. Colorado and Alaska are possibilities, but I don't see how they're winning any of Iowa, Georgia, Kansas, or Louisiana.

It's not a forgone conclusion but Landrieu (dem) is not favored in a runoff.

The NYTimes says that 72% of the precincts have been counted in Chittendon and that Milne is leading there.

:wtf:

Their vote count is ~25k. That's really low for being 75% of the vote in a county with a population of 160,000 people.

Undoubtably. Most of the 3rd party candidates votes are just going to slip on over to the GOP candidate. Or stay home.

Scott Desjarlais won, and it looks like Amendment 1 'regulating' abortion is going to pass.

To get the irony: Scott slept with one of his patients and forced her to get an abortion, and then ran on the pro-life ticket and Tennessee is now pushing the pro-life agenda into our state Constitution

Depends on the margin. If its 51-49 then the Dems take it but if the GOP gets to 53 or 54 it's a lot trickier. The only 2 likely D pickups right now are PA and IL and PA might stick with Toomey.

Ah, it can be tricky because 75% of the precincts doesn't mean 75% of the vote. I guess a lot of smaller, rural precincts have reported in?

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.

If you actually drove through these vast rural areas I think you'd be surprised, too. My guess is that the tipping point is the western panhandle a.k.a. Southern Alabama. Pensacola, Panama City, and Ft. Walton Beach are red as gently caress.

The line I always heard when I lived in the state was that the state legislature is always solid loving blue, so they want a gov who'll challenge it from time to time.

I think it's a bunch of poo poo, but it's what they said.

Here's a "local story" from New Jersey relayed to me by a friend who is in Runyan's old district.

quote:

The Democratic challenger brought us boardworkers a box of coffee from Dunkin' Donuts that had Eagles logos on it. Later in the day, the Democratic commissioner wanted those covered up to prevent electioneering.

The current, retiring, representative is a Republican who used to play for the eagles for those who didn't know.
