Election Night - What Up?

[Eraserhead]

So what will you be looking forward to watching this year?

For me (in order):

1. New Jersey Gubernatorial Race - The race we may all be watching late into the night. You have to admit, it's been pretty amusing too.  I'll be rooting for Mr. Corzine on election night in a fairly detached manner. It should be fun though.

2. NY-23 Congressional Race - Very fascinating special election. I don't really care if the Democrat or the Republican wins as long as the rabid, right-wing knuckle dragger loses.

3. NYC Mayoral Race - I'm expecting the usual the blowout for Bloomberg but I always like watching the results from the five boroughs come in.

4. Maine Question #1 - This looking like it'll be really close. I'm hoping for the best and expecting the worst.

5. Virginia Gubernatorial Race - Solid McDonnell victory. It's something else to watch for a while though, I guess.

Honorable Mention: CA-10 Congressional Race, Washington: Referendum 71, Washington Initiative 1033

I haven't really paid much attention to the local stuff this year. I'm not really even living where I'm registered to vote, so yeah. Feel free to list local elections if you want to make your own lists though.

I'll be looking forward to Corzine winning in Jersey, though the race will likely go late into the night.  Looking for a McDonnell victory in VA, though hoping for Deeds.  Hoping for a Dem victory in NY-23 and looking for Bloomberg to run away with it again this year.

Also, Tuesday night, November 3, 2009 will start my official focus on not only the 2010 Mid-Term Elections, but the 2012 Presidential Race.

Don't forget about Christmas 2012. The time to prepare is now.

Maine Question #1 would be #5 for me, I guess. It could possibly be bumped up to #3 if the VA and NYC races don't tighten up at all.

Both Governor races now seem out of hands for the Dems, I really don't care about NY-23, and I'm not expecting Bloomberg to lose anything.

lol wut? New Jersey is a dead heat.

None really.

Only NJ governor isn't a foregone conclusion.

NY-23 and Maine?

[Eraserhead]

NYC Mayoral election would be the main one. Mainly because there have been enough hints at anti-incumbent trends in municipal elections recently (including in the various Democratic primaries in NYC) so a hilarious upset is just about possible.

That would be amazing.

I am not interested in elections.

Why are you here then?

[Eraserhead]

Updated my list and made a few alterations.

I'm back here for a few weeks just because of the NJ Gubernatorial Race.

Cool. Welcome back, dude.

I'm looking forward to the VA Gubernatorial race. If Deeds makes a comeback and wins, I'm sending Mr. Constine a giant cake for a congratulations token. I also expect to see yet another meltdown for the NJ GOP when Corzine defeats Christie by a slim margin.

They'll call VA early. It's not gonna be really interesting.
