Corzine could end up doing better than Kerry in NJ.

[○∙◄☻¥tπ[╪AV┼cVê└]

I call Bolling for VA Lt. Governor. McDonnel will likely win the AG race, but still too close to call.

[○∙◄☻¥tπ[╪AV┼cVê└]

Wow, in LA county, people's polling places were changed at 10PM last night, too late to notify them. What BS.

[○∙◄☻¥tπ[╪AV┼cVê└]

I suppose no hope for RON? Issue 2 is the closest, it's only going down 37.6%-62.4% right now.

Kaine has a good sized lead now. 51.31%-46.44% with 88.13% reporting. Deeds might still have a chance, he's down only 49.62%-50.30% now.

What were each of them again?

2 -  Making it easier to vote by allowing all Ohioans to vote by mail.

3 -  Helping stop the influence of big money in elections by greatly reducing campaign contributions.

4 -  Stopping the politicians from drawing their own legislative districts and putting an Independent Commission in charge of this process.

5 - Placing a bi-partisan Board of Supervisors in charge of Ohio's elections, instead of a partisan official who backs candidates and takes sides in elections.

Warner's stock for the 2008 nomination has gone up 1% today.

I see that Kilgore victory really helped him a lot.

[○∙◄☻¥tπ[╪AV┼cVê└]

2 -  Making it easier to vote by allowing all Ohioans to vote by mail.

And making it easier for fraud, voter manipulation and intimidation to take place.

I find it unacceptable that Ohio has neither no excuse absentee voting or early voting. In California you can sign up for permanent absentee voting.

Fox News is now reporting that Tim Kaine has defeated Tim Kaine.

LOL

Associated Press projects Corzine the winner!!

Obviously Kaine and Bolling have already won in VA, and Corzine in NJ. Only close race now is VA AG.

[○∙◄☻¥tπ[╪AV┼cVê└]

When does Corzine appoint his replacement?

[○∙◄☻¥tπ[╪AV┼cVê└]

RON is toast, not even leading in Cuyahago county.

[○∙◄☻¥tπ[╪AV┼cVê└]

I can't wait for the conservatives to spin this one.

Democrats keep Democratic Gubernatorial offices. Spin or fact?  

Kilgore was supposed to win this one, and people were claiming that the NJ race was close.

[○∙◄☻¥tπ[╪AV┼cVê└]

I can't wait for the conservatives to spin this one.

You know what i mean.
Corzine didn't win by so and so percentage.......

If he wins by less than five points than he won't be happy. Remember that he had this locked up? Remember how it would be a landslide?

So far his margin of victory is better than Kerry's.

[○∙◄☻¥tπ[╪AV┼cVê└]

Why are they calling a race with a 10 point difference at 40% precincts reporting?

You can look at the other 60%, and if they're not too much more conservative, you call it.

[○∙◄☻¥tπ[╪AV┼cVê└]

VA AG is coming down to a photo finish.

WIth 89.65% reporting, McDonnell leads 50.08%-49.84%. That's 4151 votes.

In St. Paul mayor race, real Democrat defeats faux Democrat.

If a Republican won in the heart of New England, would you not consider this a very good thing?

When the GOP retained the RI Governor spot, I wasn't going crazy.

I don't see anyone "going crazy".  There are a lot of Democrats who are happy to see these results, for sure, but I don't see anything abnormal in taking pleasure in a victory for one's own team.  Are we supposed to be going "ho hum, Kaine won, big deal"?

Not only did we refrain from celebration of our MA and RI Gubernatorial victories, we didn't even mention it.

Well, there were other races at the same time.

[○∙◄☻¥tπ[╪AV┼cVê└]

The only real major races left to decide are the AG race in Virginia and the California ballot propositions.  When do the polls close out in California? (a jfern question)

8 PT, 11 ET

[○∙◄☻¥tπ[╪AV┼cVê└]

I got some yes on Prop 78 thing AFTER I already voted. Something tells me that stuff recieved on election day isn't that effective.

[○∙◄☻¥tπ[╪AV┼cVê└]

Arnold's Props all have 0 votes. Oh wait....

[○∙◄☻¥tπ[╪AV┼cVê└]

In CA, the first areas to report tend Republican, as you can see here.

Ferrar may have broken 40%. A lot of people were predicting he'd do much worse.

As for those VA results, looks like they have different precincts that they're missing.

[○∙◄☻¥tπ[╪AV┼cVê└]

Bad news for you guys.  Mostly the Bay Area is reporting and all of the races are close.

What? Top counties by precincts are
Kern 150
San Diego 161
Ventura 217
http://vote2005.ss.ca.gov/Returns/status.htm


Despite that, Props 76 and 77 are still going down.

[○∙◄☻¥tπ[╪AV┼cVê└]

I can't confirm it yet, but I've heard that the results have Kaine winning VIRGINIA BEACH. Enough said.

I can't wait to see Goldie show up.

I saw that. One precinct wasn't reporting, but it looks like it'll hold even with that precinct.

[○∙◄☻¥tπ[╪AV┼cVê└]

Things are looking pretty good for Arnold in CA.  If he defeats the Teachers and the Unions it will be a major win for him.

"Pretty good" is that half his Props are passing in early returns? LOL. We're California, we still have another few million votes.
