The Mid-Terms Results Thread [W:517]

Re: The Mid-Terms Results Thread

Democratic progressives don't give up on runoffs.

The first is over Thanksgiving and the second is over Christmas.

Those of us DEM populists who have been working the phone banks for months are part of the ground game and we'll take our show on the road .

Ernst, and dems haven't got a prayer at winning runoffs, so LA too, VA is likely so we're talking +8 likely

In the least surprising result of the night, NY governor Andrew Cuomo wins re-election.

Cuomo winning in NY in spite of a pending (last I heard anyway) corruption investigation say far more about the electorate in NY than it does about Cuomo.

Braley 125,000, Ernst 101,000 20% reporting

The Republican candidate was pretty awful.
 
Re: The Mid-Terms Results Thread

Politico is showing Beauprez leading Hickenlooper for Governor, 48.6 - 47.2 with almost 60% of votes counted. Add that to Gardner's win over Udall and that makes a BIG statement about the attitudes of Coloradans this year.
 
Re: The Mid-Terms Results Thread

Who are you watching? I haven't seen that even once.

Watching them all. CNN and MSNBC get giddy when they mention the counties that are largely black still not reporting.
 
Re: The Mid-Terms Results Thread

The NC Senate race is coming down to the wire, with Tillis in the lead at the time of me writing this by about 35,000 votes.

With 83% of the NC vote in, Hagan must win just over 54% of the remaining votes to retain her seat.
 
Re: The Mid-Terms Results Thread

Scott Walker Wins Reelection..... sort of again. :D


On to 2016!!! :mrgreen:

I'm in NCarolina, I'd be giddy as a clam if Tillis took that seat from Hagan.
 
Re: The Mid-Terms Results Thread

With 90% in Florida, cleaned up for Republicans from Governor to the senate etc.

Scott Walker Wins Reelection..... sort of again. :D


On to 2016!!! :mrgreen:

Walker's the best thing that ever happened to Wisconsin.
 
Re: The Mid-Terms Results Thread

The narrative we keep hearing over and over again: lack of black votes, young votes, and hispanic votes.

While it is possible the last demographic will be a win for Democrats, I keep noticing that Democrats since the 1960s think the youth vote is where they need to stay. I can't believe they keep falling for this trap. It rarely works.
 
Re: The Mid-Terms Results Thread

Think of the possibilities. But as of now Republicans still think they can engage in calm and civilized discourse...with democrats.

They tend not to do the emotional shouting and screaming so well. That's more the Democrat's shtick.
