[henry]

This thread is not on the home page-- TM has gone stealth!

TCFAB!!!!

[matt]

Segundo!

[matt]

you guys are too fast for me.

[rich@gmu]

Comstock is 2-1 in VA 10 ...

“Berks County is the front line in the war against Spotted Lanternfly,” said Agriculture Secretary George Greig.
On Monday, the DEP called for a full quarantine of the insect -- which measures about 1-inch long as an adult -- in Pike and District townships in hopes of stopping the pests before extensive damage is done to the state’s multimillion-dollar fruit and multibillion-dollar logging industries.

[lyle]

Juan lurves him some O balls.

[Iggy]

If VA could put a noted non incumbent grifter and crook like McAwful over the top how can they not re-elect the by-comparison squeaky clean Warner?

[Jeff Dobbs]

.

[Threadkiller]

Is Rove on any of these panels?

[Sue]

I don't think there's a wave.

[rich@gmu]

Iggy-

It's Virginia ... what can I say? The governor's election had some strange dynamics with a Dem funded Libertine candidate (he's playing the same role here in the senate election and underperforming) ...

VA, Senate - 42.00% reporting

Ed Gillespie

51.96%

Republican

425,851

probably too much to hope for though ...

[Danube on iPad]

The early Va. returns were from rural areas.

[Beasts of England]

Why is that, Sue? I've heard some good results...

[Stephanie accidentally OnT?]

This is kinda funny:

Did you spot the issue?

[Jeff Dobbs]

I think there exists the possibility that there's a wave.

Or not.

[Jim Rhoads f/k/a vnjagvet]

I'll take a majority.

[NKONIPAD]

Define 'wave'

[rse]

Yeah Tm!!

Cuz we do like to chat

[rich@gmu]

DoT-

mostly. Richmond and Fairfax are trickling in and Loudoun has been surprisingly strong for Comstock (which would bode ill for Warner).

VA, Senate - 45.29% reporting

Ed Gillespie

51.70%

Republican

[Dave (in MA)]

Stephanie, I was 3 minutes too late to post that with "Throw the bums out" as the title.

[Jeff Dobbs]

AoSHQ decision desk working? I can't get to it.

[hrtshpdbox]

Looks pretty wavy to me; RCP average had Warner up 9.7%, for instance.

[GMax]

I agree no wave. Tsunami.

[rich@gmu]

hit-

crashed for me too ...

hrtshpdbox-

nice to see you back commenting. it'll close once returns from over Janet's way start coming in and all the manufactured votes from the Eastern Shore can make up the differences.

[Porchlight]

Yep, hrtshpdbox, it's all about the margins.

[Another bob]

Hit, dead for me too. As is AOSHQ.

Pixy must be taking a smoke break.

[Porchlight]

Romney's margins sucked at this point in the night in 2012.

[Momto2]

Just read Crist's request to extend hours in S. Fla. has been denied!! Up to their usual tricks I see...

[Porchlight]

Poor Ace.

[rich@gmu]

[CR]

Wolf wins PA governor's race according to RCP. Dem pick up.

[Janet]

Yeah, Rich....the polls were crowded today here in Arlington.
They are zombie (D) voters.

[Jeff Dobbs]

Cotton!

[hrtshpdbox]

Rich, I figured some pro-Warner votes are going to come flooding in, but Red Racing Horses' last was that Gillesipie is still hitting all the marks he needs to. Btw, that site also points out that a Republican is currently winning the Gov's race in Vermont, of all places. Thanks for the welcome, too.

[Stephanie accidentally OnT?]

Cotton!

[Danube on iPad]

I haven't seen enough to come to a conclusion about a wave, but the margin in KY and the returns thus far in VA are certainly encouraging.

Cotton takes Arkansas!

[GMax]

+ 2 as Cotton is called the winner in Arkansas

[Johns_Creek_Bill]

CNN projects Cotton in Arkansas.

Good guys +2

[GMax]

Scott now up three on The Cheeto with 87% of the vote in.

[Eric in Boise]

From the Biden link on the prior thread:

transplanted anal hair

Is there anything that sums up our current political class better than this?

[Jeff Dobbs]

I'm nervous here. I really haven't gotten plugged in to live results, so it's not based on this county or that district returns.

But I'm nervous.

[Iggy]

From Kevin Williamson;

"Cthulhu 2016: Why Vote for a Lesser Evil?"

Is this a bumpersticker yet?
I know I'd get one and suspect TK would.

[Dave (in MA)]

Throw the bums out

[Thomas Collins]

My operational definition of a wave: A Congress that can send legislation to Obama that clarifies matters for 2016. My operational definition of a tsunami: Dem Senators up in 2016 micturating in their Brooks Brothers pants.

[CR]

More from Barone:

"100% in Fredericksburg VA, at edge of NoVa metro, 58%-39% Warner. Kaine won it 2012 64%-35%. Gillespie running ahead of other Rs in NoVa.
5:27 PM - 4 Nov 2014"

[Janet]

Warner - http://bearingdrift.com/wp-content/uploads/promises.jpg

"cutting taxes for middle-class families"

Hahahaaaahahaaaa!!

If you like your plan you can keep your plan -

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RmVHf_hm8_g

Hahaaahahaaa!

Mark Warner...what a guy.

[GMax]

54% in and Gillespie still up 7%!

[CR]

Arkansas turns all red as the Governorship goes to Republican, Huchinson.

[Janet]

2 dopes & 2 seagulls

[Jeff Dobbs]

Oh, anyway, mrs hit and run and I voted after work today. Traffic on the roads at 5:30 was horrible - worst I've ever seen. Thought it might be election related.

There was almost no line at our polls. Only 8 voting stations set up, mrs hit and run got to vote immeditely - I had to wait 1 minute and 43 seconds. Or so.

[Johns_Creek_Bill]

Cochran was so excited to learn that he won he had to have his diaper changed.

[Jane]

52% - 43% Baker over Coakley with very little precincts reporting.

[windansea]

Scott 49% Cheeto 46% 67% precints reporting

[daddy]

Just landed In Malaysia and in the cab trying to catch up. I need to sleep but it is impossible. C'mon Sullivan! Beat Begich!

[Dave (in MA)]

The very little precincts are easier to count.

You're welcome. I remembered the nic from a while back. Always meant to ask if you were out in the Seattle area?

in re the race: surprised how well Gillespie is running and how well (at my last check) at Comstock's strength.

[Sue]

CBS is calling NH for Shaheen.

[Dublindave]

CNN calls Christ projected winner in FL!

[Dave (in MA)]

The lines were out the gymnasium door and halfway down the parking lot in my precinct. Once checked in, you had to wait for an open booth.

[GMax]

BS

[rich@gmu]

VA, Senate - 73.84% reporting

Ed Gillespie

51.13%

Republican

747,950

Mark Warner

46.34%

Democrat

677,762

Robert Sarvis

Libertarian

Gillespie still running strongly and Sarvis is underperforming his Governor's run by about 100k votes ...

[Sue]

Seriously? Crist is going to win? Floridians that didn't vote republican are idiots too.

[Dublindave]

Congratulations Charlie!!!!

[Porchlight]

As man. Really wanted NH.

[Porchlight]

Haha. Aw man.

[Sue]

ABC calling NH for Shaheen.

[Porchlight]

Who called FL? Not seeing it.

[Iggy]

--The very little precincts are easier to count.--

That is funny, of course it took a great set up to make it so.

[Porchlight]

Red Racing Horses:

8:49 ET- 93% in for Florida, and Scott is still up 49-46. Looks like the juice might be running out of the orangeman.

[GMax]

Scott up 142K votes and most of the votes are reported. DD is the source, so consider whether you want to rely on a lying drunken Democrat for info.

[Johns_Creek_Bill]

Palm Beach and Broward still to be counted. The Cheeto is not dead yet.

[windansea]

Who called FL? Not seeing it.

DUDU lies

[PDinDetroit]

Cross Posting from last thread...

JiB - if you are still having issues with vertigo/uneasiness, get some Dramamine Less Drowsy. It is the same med prescribed for Vertigo, BPPV, and Menieres episodes and generally does help (Antivert - Meclizine). Hope your issue is just a virus or similar short term issue.

I live about 2 miles from the Michigan Ear Institute and have been there for my BPPV/Menieres Disease. They are very good and worthwhile if needed.

[GMax]

Scott is underperforming all other Republicans on the ballot statewide, but he is up a lot of votes.

[Jim Miller]

It's on election nights like this one that -- wicked fellow that I am -- I miss Peter Jennings.

You could tell that he understood that the Republicans were winning -- and you could see that result did not make him happy,

(Dan Rather always looked clueless to me, and I always wondered -- Texans may want to correct me here -- whether those "Texas sayings" he used for commentary were written for him by some Yale English major.)

still up 5 but a lot of dem areas left to count. Gillespie still winning Loudoun though.

[Dublindave]

Give up on Gillespie,he's toast.

[windansea]

8:51: With 1/3rd of Miami-Dade precincts reporting, Crist is drawing only 56 percent of the vote from that key South Florida county. Scott may pull off a victory after all.

[henry]

Polls closed in WI.

[narciso]

tactically, Scott should have had some rejoinder to the HCA question, he should have deployed his runningmate earlier, brought up Ferrer and Fortuno earlier, pointed out Rothstein's pal, earlier, this isn't rocket science, or maybe it is,

[GMax]

Give up on Abortion Barbie she is toast. And unlike Gillepsie she is WAY behind not ahead...

[rich@gmu]

the horde and the horde's decision desk are down ... yikes!!!

[Porchlight]

Snyder looking good in MI for R-GOV.

[Jeff Dobbs]

Wendy goes down.

[Stephanie accidentally OnT?]

This is funnier:

[GMax]

Abortion Barbie just called a loser by Fox...

[rich@gmu]

returns from Fairfax are slow ... Warner getting a final needed count before they start reporting.

stumped on the horde's crash ... got a template page ...

[Porchlight]

Oh Wendy. I want to see your 21 hour concession speech in pink sneakers. BYE

[Jeff Dobbs]

Exit polls so far in NC...

Black vote 21% - that's better than the 25% in early voting. But black vote 95% Hagan

Tillis getting 59% of white vote.

Tillis getting 8% of DEM vote, leading Independent vote 46-42, Hagan getting 6% of REP vote. That's not good enough, if true.

[GMax]

Virginia solid red with with flecks of blue...

[Stephanie accidentally OnT?]

1 Mississippi State
2 Florida State
3 Auburn
4 Oregon
5 Alabama
6 TCU
7 Kansas State
8 Michigan State
9 Arizona State
10 Notre Dame

New Committee Poll out...

[rich@gmu]

Comstock running +20 in VA 10. Gillespie still up 5 with 75% in.

[Jim Miller]

narciso - Correct me if i am wrong on this, but isn't Governor Scott still -- judging by the number of years he has spent in politics -- at best a semi-pro?

[Porchlight]

SD called for Rounds?

[PDinDetroit]

My wife and I voted at 6 PM and were in the 680's for number of voters in our precinct (first time voting here, unknown if that is high, low, etc). Like JiB, my wife had to take me with my 7 out of 10 pain level migraine headache (nothing seems to help right now).

I would drink along with you guys tonight, but I won't give up the 25 year medallion from August. Some days, I wonder if the migraine pain will ever go away.
