*Official Election 2005 Results Thread*

Generally speaking....

The best way to get an early track on these thngs is go apples to apples...

Compare the same precienct from 2001 to the same precienct in 2005...

Pay aparticulat attention to the relative turnout beyween the years also....

Jersey NJN has it 51-47 Forrester- No precint and number of votes- very, very early going.

Corzine is truly a slime, but I still find it hard to believe he could lose in Jersey...

Do you have a good link to Jersey results...?

[The Vorlon]

It's true. BTW the slimer guy is up 51-47 with 358 precincts.

The GOP ground game in Virginia is indeed much better, but they are also a tad disspirited right now taking much of that edge away. - Kaine, by perhaps a bit more than expected - will not be a blowout, but margin of victory might creep up to maybe 5% or so.  

Corzine will successfully purchase a Governors seat, to match the Senate seat he purchased previously.  The GOP always over polls in Jersey, so I'll say Corzine by 7. - If "None of the above" was on the ballot in Jersey it would win in a walk.

Candidates  Party Percentage

  T M Kaine  Democratic  - 51.64%
  J W Kilgore  - 46.08%

Margin = 5.56%

Missed Jersey pretty badly however.  Expect 7, got 11.

You win some, you lose some.  At least you got the winners right, as did I.  

Jersey is always a bugger to read the polls in - I never get that state dead on.  Polls never work right in New mexico and Wiscionsin either.

Virginia on the other hand polls really really well.  

Just one of those quirky things.

We like our unrestricted abortion on demand.

Indeed.

"I have to march because my mother could not have an abortion." -- CA Congresswoman Maxine Waters at a pro-choice march

Im am pro-choice anyway... but in the case of Maxine Waters I really really wish we could somehow grant her mother abortion rights retro-actiovely.
