I'm pretty sure Klein wins. Mahoney will be down to the wire. But it looks like Jennings didn't close the deal in the 13th.

I'm feeling secure on Webb - we're still waiting on half of Arlington and Loudoun and 1/3 of Richmond city.

MD Gov called for O'Malley.

I hate J.C. Watts so much.

did I misread that Foley was only 1% behind?

Foley is a 100% behind.

The teeth-gnashing begins:

Party labels aside, Chafee deserved to lose more than any other incumbent. What a lousy senator, a man who is utterly unpredictable because he has no real beliefs.

YES Biggest Little!!

Bob Shamansky in OH-12 at 49% with 1/3 in, but it's looking like Wulsin just wasn't a strong enough contender in the 2nd (the call I was least confident of).

My exit poll frustrations explained by pollster.com:

The NEP analysts are gradually replacing the exit poll talleys in each precinct with actual votes from that precinct. They are also beginning to fill out a second and larger sample of precincts from which they gather hard votes At any given time, they adjust the exit poll tabulations (displayed on CNN) to match the current estimate considred most reliable.

Then it's not a bloody exit poll is it? Serves me right for looking at them - no more tonight.

Allen up by 26,000 - I know Richmond City and Arlington aren't fully in yet, but I don't think Webb has the numbers to turn it round in the last 18% of precincts. This reminds me of looking at the Ohio figures two years ago.

I'll go as far as 95% of VA precincts reporting and then go to bed. Pleasant surprise in the morning, please.

Carcetti wins in Maryland! Hehe.

Republican Ken Blackwell conceded the race for [Ohio] governor to [Dem. Ted] Strickland before a single vote was counted.

god i hope we win VA-Sen. how awesome would it be to not lose a single senate race, other than CT (which is, come on, like a half lose)?

― like murderinging (modestmickey), Wednesday, 8 November 2006 02:52 (seventeen years ago) link

Thanks, vingt-regards! The gap is down to 2,000 on that site. Damn you, Green voters!

The BBC's live news radio station, 5 Live, is actually bragging about broadcasting random moronic shite right now. I'm off to kill some peeps and hope ever'things beautiful when I wake up.

i was gonna say, what's up with TN? and all of those NY and PA competitive seats?!?

fwiw, it looks like my parents' repug rep (mike ferguson) is going to get back in! :-(

― Eisbär (llamasfur), Wednesday, 8 November 2006 02:54 (seventeen years ago) link

There's still a slim chance in VA. Some of the cities are slow reporting and they seem to be strongly leaning Webb.

― vingt regards (vignt_regards), Wednesday, 8 November 2006 02:57 (seventeen years ago) link

say what you will about bob menendez (and his pro-torture vote), but his daughter is FIIIIIIIIIIINE:

WOULD ALLEN MAKE A GOOD PRESIDENT?
TOTAL Allen Webb
Yes (35%) 95% 4%
No (57%) 18% 80%

Haha I srsly thought that said WOODY ALLEN MAKE A GOOD PRESIDENT? and actually thought "why would they ask that?"

But really folx, who are those 4% who didn't vote for the 'good president'??

― richardk (Richard K), Wednesday, 8 November 2006 03:03 (seventeen years ago) link

Allen up by 17,000, 207 precincts left. Not looking good.

― Michael Jones (MichaelJ), Wednesday, 8 November 2006 03:05 (seventeen years ago) link

You won't have Rick Santorum to kick around anymore...

Pretty happy for Deval Patrick over here in Massachusetts (first African American governor in state's history)

Yes, the PA House seats look very good - 4, 6, 7, 8, 10 & 16 could all be Dem gains.

One Odd Thing [Ramesh Ponnuru]
Why do people keep talking about the Democrats' "regaining" or "retaking" the House? It's been 12 years, hasn't it? It's not as though it's naturally theirs.

I hope you're right, Tracer. My (elder!) daughter was crying so I've brought her downstairs at 3:20am to cheer on the Democrats. I am a bad Dad.

Dunno about Webb doodz...can we get the Senate without?

― richardk (Richard K), Wednesday, 8 November 2006 03:26 (seventeen years ago) link

No. MT and MO may go Dem but TN won't and that's all that's in play.

― Michael Jones (MichaelJ), Wednesday, 8 November 2006 03:28 (seventeen years ago) link

How could anyone vote for macaca Allen?

― Beth S. (Ex Leon), Wednesday, 8 November 2006 03:29 (seventeen years ago) link

I don't know, and can't say I've even heard of any voting shenanigans in Virginia as opposed to everywhere else. Not that that means anything...

― richardk (Richard K), Wednesday, 8 November 2006 03:31 (seventeen years ago) link

93.7% reporting in VA, Allen still has that pesky 17,000-vote lead. 24,000 voted for the Green candidate.

― Michael Jones (MichaelJ), Wednesday, 8 November 2006 03:33 (seventeen years ago) link

sigh. VA is so close. and the map isn't looking good. TN isn't either. even if we don't make majority, shit, we got damn close, and it's not like an all-or-take presidential election. we have that much more pull in the senate.
