Special state legislative elections thread (see OP for results/upcoming races)

Indeed Carl, such a narrow victory calls for Obama's immediate resignation.

I dont think Democrats will be winning much of anything until they can get Obama out of the White House.  This is almost as bad as Nixon to the Republicans in 1974. 

Let's stop overreacting and deciding the future of politics based on a bunch of stupid by-elections to a state legislature.

Could anybody compile a list of all state legislative special elections thus far in 2010?

Tennessee 83rd House

With absentees, early and 20 of the 20 precincts reporting:

Mark White (R): 3236 (67.44%)
Guthrie Castle (D): 1452 (30.26%)
John Andreuccetti (I): 110 (2.29%)

So, I think than the house is 50R-48D-1 expelled Republican who gave the control of the house to the Democrats in exchange of him being elected President of the House.

No, I think the House is now back to 49R, 49D, 1 Carter County Republican (Kent Williams).  If it was 50-48-1, the Republicans would replace Williams with the Speaker they wanted.  It must have been a Republican vacancy that Mark White was elected to fill.

Wikipedia says a special election in late 2009 resulted in a Republican winning a Democratic-held seat. So it is 50-48-1.

I just wonder why why President Obama is so toxic among Cajuns?

He's black.
