NATIONAL SENATE/HOUSE RESULTS THREAD (LATE RESULTS/POSTMORTEM)

[Sam Spade]

so, project the rest out for me, guys....what is the current expected GOP net in the House when it is all said and done?  50? 60? 70?

Somewhere in between 60 and 70.

[Vepres]

I am quite surprised by the quick call for Boxer. This one is going to be close, although Boxer should win.

Fiorina still has a shot, surprising really.

[Badger]

I hate the greens so much.

[JohnnyLongtorso]

Matheson is only 5 points ahead with about half of precincts still to report.

Most of what's left is Salt Lake County, he should win comfortably there.

[Capitan Zapp Brannigan]

Alright, El Paso County has finally blown its wad and still can't bring Buck to much of a lead. Still is 50% of Denver left, I think Bennett's got this one.

[Franzl]

Not really. It's close, but she won't be winning.

[InquilineKea]

Yeah I'm also sure Bennett's going to win; good time to buy some Bennett on intrade. Col. Springs at 82% and Denver still at 50%; plus lots of votes to still be counted in the Denver suburbs

[Free Palestine]

Murkowski Write-ins leading with 20 percent in.

Fixed.

You don't actually think that those write-ins could seriously be anybody else?

Or how many of those write-ins have her name spelled right.

[Citizen (The) Doctor]

I hate the greens so much.

Illinois?

[Torie]

How many blue dogs have survived? We have Holden, and Altmire, and Critz barely if you consider him a blue dog, and that guy in KY-6 barely, and maybe a seat in Georgia, and after that ... ?

I sure there may be a couple of others, but that is all I can think of at the moment. It has been slaughter alley. The parties are moving to rather clean ideological breaks, like a parliamentary system.

[Lief 🗽]

If this hasn't already been noted, both of the Florida non-partisan redistricting amendments are over 60% and likely to pass.  The California non-partisan redistricting amendment is also over 60%.

They don't need 2/3? Sweet, I thought they did for some reason.

[Vepres]

Yeah I'm also sure Bennett's going to win; good time to buy some Bennett on intrade. Col. Springs at 82% and Denver still at 50%; plus lots of votes to still be counted in the Denver suburbs

The Democratic areas could've been the first to report. I wouldn't write Buck off yet.

[Phony Moderate]

Murkowski Write-ins leading with 20 percent in.

Fixed.

You don't actually think that those write-ins could seriously be anybody else?

There could be some for Lisa M, and Lisa Murowski, and Lisa, and so on.

[memphis]

I hate the greens so much.

Illinois?

It's not specific to any particular race. It was the Colorado race that made me say that at the moment, but they are a perennial pain. President 2000 is the obvious uber-example.

[InquilineKea]

You must be logged in to read this quote.

Boulder is at 59% and Denver at 50%.

Colo. 4 at 71% , Colo. 5 at 75%. (both lean GOP)

Telluride (strong D) is still 0%, and Jefferson County (prolly wont change anything) at <1%.

[King]

Yeah I'm also sure Bennett's going to win; good time to buy some Bennett on intrade. Col. Springs at 82% and Denver still at 50%; plus lots of votes to still be counted in the Denver suburbs

The Democratic areas could've been the first to report. I wouldn't write Buck off yet.

There's Republican areas in Denver?

[Torie]

Somewhere in between 60 and 70.

Nate Silver says, albeit 20 minutes ago:

There are now relatively few competitive House races yet to be called. Our model thinks that, by the time the night is over, Republican gains will be within the range of 62 to 72 seats.

[Skill and Chance]

If this hasn't already been noted, both of the Florida non-partisan redistricting amendments are over 60% and likely to pass.  The California non-partisan redistricting amendment is also over 60%.

Yeah, it sucks.

Meek got destroyed in the panhandle.

Why wouldn't you support fairly drawn districts?  If it's a partisan issue, remember that California is also giving up its chance at biggest Dem gerrymander in decades tonight, so I'm pretty sure it evens out.

[Sam Spade]

Donnelly survived.  But I don't know whether to consider him a blue dog or not.  Not to mention Boren, Shuler and Ross.  But those three basically didn't vote like Dems this last session.

Because how do you determine what a "non partisan" drawn district is? Plus you should see the groups that back this amendment. It sounds nice on paper but once you dig deeper it's odious at best.

[Barnes]

Bishop now ahead by 4,800 votes.

I doubt it. Denver doesn't seem the type to have many Republican areas in it. This one is over barring a miracle.

I think they need 3/5ths to pass.  Both are over 62% with 98% in.

Hilarious. Time to un-call it again...

[redcommander]

I'm glad Lisa Murkowski won. I was very concerned that Miller and her would split the Republican vote.
