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.

So, what the greatest R+x seat held by a Dem for the next Congress?

And to answer my own question, OK-2 is R+14. Impressive, Mr. Boren.

UT-02 (R+15)
OK-02 (R+14)
KY-06 (R+9)
WV-3 (R+6)
NC-11 (R+6)
PA-4 (R+6)
PA-17 (R+6)

Yeah, I just noticed that Matheson slightly beats Boren. Incredible.

AP declares Hanabusa winner

[memphis]

WA:
Murray +14,005 (50.5% v 49.5%), with 62% reporting
King County only 55% in.


AK:
Write-ins (Murkowski) +7,242 (39.4% v 35.3%) with 70% reporting

What's out in AK is largely in the Bush - which only can help Murkowski (Native Associations backed her).  Plus, bush precincts are generally smaller, meaning fewer votes to begin with.  Again, as long as Alaskans can spell her name, Murkowski wins.

They don't even have to spell her name. Milkcowsky works just fine.

What do I need to put up as my sig again, or something? I don't remember the exact deals of our bet. Congratulations Memphis. Pity I had to lose a bet due to the loss of a man that I admire. Such is life. I would give you Oberstar if you give me Djou in a milisecond.

Hanabusa's pic in your signature. One week. Feel free to add a snarky caption

Biggest GOP majority since Truman's do nothing Congress.  We will still have more seats than Reagan did in 83-89.

Too early for a rough estimate of national popular vote? I rather doubt it's the R+15 crap that gallup was shovelling.
