Rolling on

[NewYorkExpress]

November 4, 2014



Good Evening, America and Welcome to Election 2014. For the first time, in a project we hope will continue, All the Major News Networks are Teaming up provide election coverage.

And we will begin tonight in New Hampshire, where we can project that Governor Maggie Hassan will defeat State Senator Chuck Morse. We can also project that Rep. Ann McKlane Kuster will defeat Melinda Garcia and return to Congressional Seat. We cannot Project the race in the 1st Congressional District, where Frank Giunta currently leads Carol Shea-Porter, that race is Too Early too call, and We Cannot call the Senate Race, between Jeanne Shaheen and Scott Brown, that race is too close to call.

New Hampshire Governor-57% in

Maggie Hassan (D) 63%
Chuck Morse (R) 33%

New Hampshire- 2nd Congressional District- 57% in

Ann McLane Custer (D) 61%
Marlinda Garcia (R) 37%

New Hampshire Senate 57% in
Scott Brown (R) 48.19%
Jeanne Shaheen (D) 48.16%

 


Maddow; I'm now going turn it over to our first panel of the evening, with the following question, what do the early results mean.
Gewirtz; The only thing I think they mean is that Democrats will have a long night ahead waiting out results in the Senate. The House results so far probably mean the GOP will be seeing limited gains, otherwise they probably would have picked up both New Hampshire seats
Harrigan; I'm inclined to agree with my colleague from CNN here. The fact Scott Brown is doing so well, means Republicans will likely claim a majority in the Senate, but they still have to appalled they couldn't get anyone to challenge Governor Hassan.
Seigenthaler- With Exit Pollsters saying they approved of Hassan's job perfomance 61/29 compared to Sen. Ayotte's 39/50, I''m almost curious if Ayotte runs for President in 2016 to avoid a challenge by Hassan.

I'll hand it off to Nancy Cordes, from CBS for the batch of projections

Thanks Rachel, Our next stop is Rhode Island, which has been home to a turbulent Gubernatorial Race.
We can project that, in the race to replace Treasurer Gina Raimondo, Former Treasurer Frank Caprio will return to the seat defeating Warwick Mayor Scott Avedisian. We project that Treasurer Gina Raimondo will move up to Attorney General, and succeed outgoing incumbent, Peter Kilmartin. We can also Project that Nellie Gorbea will be the new Secretary of State. In the Lieutenant Governor's race we can project that Secretary of State Ralph Mollis will defeat 2010 Attorney General nominee Erik Wallin. The Governor's race between Angel Taveras and Allan Fung is currently too early to call, although Tavares leads. In the First Congressional District, David Cicciline was defeated in the primary by Attorney General, Peter Kilmartin, we can project that Kilmartin will defeat Woonsocket mayor Lisa Baldelli-Hunt. In the Second Congressional District, we can project James Langevin will turn back quxiotic challenge from former NASCAR driver Mike Stefanik. Finally in the Senate race, we cannot project a winner as it is too early to call, although Jack Reed leads former Governor Donald Carcieri. The New Hampshire Senate Race remains too close to call at this moment.

Thomas Wagner Jr. who spent much of the last year and a half resisting efforts by National Republicans to run for the U.S Senate, will be defeated former Wilmington Mayor James Sillis. We can Project that Treasurer Chipman Flowers will win his rematch with his 2010 opponent Collin Bonini, In the Attorney General's race between Beau Biden and Sussex County, Councilman George Cole, we cannot project a winner, as it is currently to early to call, though Biden leads. In the Congressional Race between John Carney and State Rep. Daniel Short, we cannot project a winner, it is too close to call. In the Senate Race between Chris Coons and State Rep.

In the Governor's race between incumbent Peter Shumlin and former Jim Jeffords we cannot make a projection, we believe this race is to close to call.

Welcome Back, I'm Luke Russert, from NBC News and we've got a fresh batch of projections for you.


First we can now call the election for the Governorship of Vermont in favor of incumbent Peter Shumlin, who defeated former Senator Jim Jeffords in an excruciatingly close race. Senator Jeffords has not yet conceded the race, but all sources indicate he will do so within the hour.

We are also able to project that Princeton Mayor Robert Hurst will defeat Indianapolis Citycouncilwoman Virgina Cain in the race to succeed outgoing Treasurer Richard Mourdock, While in the Secretary of State Race we can Project that Marion County Clerk Beth White will defeat incumbent Secretary of State Connie Lawson, providing for a huge trio of victories for Indiana Democrats. In Congressional races, we can project that Peter Viclosky, Todd Rokita, and Andre Carson were all re-elected over token opposition. The Second Congressional District Race between Jacky Walorski and Joe Bock is currently too early to call, although Walorski leads. The Third Congressional District race between Marlin Stutzman and Fort Wayne Mayor Tom Henry is too close to call. The Fifth Congressional District race between Susan Brooks and former pilot and commercial astronaut Mike Melvill is too early to call, but Brooks is leading.

Yeah, this would never happen. The third congressional district is consistently 60% Republican, and Henry only won the Mayoral race with 50% of the vote.

Good Evening, I'm Soledad O' Brien, and we're glad you've been watching this extraordinary and unprecedented election night.


We now head to West Virginia, the first of the major battleground states for control of the Senate. That Senate race, for the seat being vacated by Jay Rockafeller, is currently too close to call, as Secretary of State Natalie Tennant caught Rep. Shelly Moore Capito in polling in late August, and we have been tied since.  In the first Congressional District, we can project that Auditor Glen Gainer will defeat incumbent David McKinley in a huge victory for National Democrats. In the second Congressional district, being vacated by Moore Capito we can project  that Charleston City councilman Mike Clowser will pick up the seat for the Democrats, defeating fellow Charleston Council member Courtney Persinger. The third Congressional District race between Nick Rahall, State Senator Evan Jenkins and White Sulphur Springs City Councilman Bobby Sams, who was running a vigorous campaign on the Mountain Party line is too early to call, but Rahall leads.

Good Evening, I'm Matthew Winkler, from Bloomberg Magazine and we have a very important call to begin tonight


We can now project that Shelly Moore Capito will be the first Senate pickup for Republicans this cycle, in a race that some National Republicans tell me never should have been this close.

West Virginia-Senate 98.5% Reporting

Shelly Moore Capito (R) 49%
Natalie Tennant (D) 48.1%
Jeff Mikorski (Mountain) 2.4%

Former Senator Carte Goodwin has already come out with a statement blaming Mikorski, the nominee of the Mountain Party for Tennant's defeat.  In her concession speech, which just wrapped up in Morgantown, Tennant confirmed she would run for re-election as Secretary of State in 2016, early polling shows her leading Republicans David Nohe and David Sypolt, tied with 2012 Auditor nominee Larry Faircloth, perennial candidate John Raese, and Delegate Tim Armstead, and trailing former Secretary of State Betty Ireland, 2012 Treasurer nominee Mike Hall and Attorney General Patrick Morrisey. For National Democrats, while they gained both GOP-held House districts, they have taken a heavy blow with the loss of the Senate Seat


Our next stop is the Bay State of Massachusetts, which was another GOP-heavy Gubernatorial election

We begin with the race for Auditor, where we can project that Suzanne Bump, will defeat a token opponent. In the Treasurer's election, which Steven Grossman vacated to run for Governor (and lost in the primary), we can project that Newton Mayor Setti Warren will defeat the President and Chief Operating Officer of Regional Supermarket Chain the Big Y, Charles D'Amour by a comfertable margin.

Konstantina Lukes (I) 22%
Christian Appy (G) 5.6%

Wyc Grousbeck (I) 16%
Jackie MacMullin (I) 16%

In the Sixth Congressional District, where both favorites ahead of the September 9 Primary lost (Richard Tisei and John Tierney) we can project that Tagg Romney will become the next Romney to serve Massachussetts, as he will defeat immigration attorney Marisa DeFranco, and give the Republicans another pickup.

Tagg Romney (R) 54%
Marisa DeFranco (D) 45%

Isn't the MA LG elected in a joint ticket with the governor ?

Isn't the MA LG elected in a joint ticket with the governor ?

In the General yes... which is why the same party is winning, but here Massachusetts decided to experiment with a system of the primaries being run a ticket, but the general election being separate.

Joining us on the phone right now is the chair of the Pennsylvania Republican Party, Robert Gleason.



Robert, why is the Republican Party doing so poorly in Pennsylvania in a year in which things look like they've been going the National Republican's way?

Well Paul, I'm not sure we ever thought we would do well, especially after Corbett won his primary... When you have an incumbent that can't even crack 10% in an election, that polled under 20% in every poll after Memorial Day, we thought it would be bad, but we didn't think it would be this bad... At least we know how the citizens of Toronto feel like...

[Atlas Has Shrugged]

I'm calling bull f[inks]ing sh**t on Corbett getting 9% of the vote.

[DKrol]

I'm calling bull f[inks]ing sh**t on Corbett getting 9% of the vote.

I was thinking about it. I understand the principle of "Author's discretion" in writing TLs, but a sitting Governor getting 9% is just beyond any realm of belief. Other than that, I think this is a great TL.

[badgate]

Yeah, I mean even LePage will get more than 9%

[TX Conservative Dem]

No way Corbett gets 9%.

I'm now going to turn it my counterpart on the other side of the aisle, Monika Bauerlein. Monica?


Thanks, Andrew... As we head to our next stop in Kentucky, a quick recap on the night so far. Both Republicans and Democrats have been off to a good night, with both sides, picking off downballot statewide offices. Republicans have to be pleased that Scott Brown gave Jeanne Shaheen a run for her money, and at how close they came to taking down progressive hero Peter Shumlin (With an eighty year old former Senator no less). But National Republicans have much to be concerned about as Marlin Stutzman managed to blow a completely safe district, and Pennsylvania Governor Tom Corbett's slide from "super-unpopular" to "even Satan hates you" completely reversed the Republicans delegation to the point where Bill Shuster and Patrick Meehan are the only two remaining. Corbett's unpopularity has turned a 27-23 advantage in the State Senate to a massive 45-5 Disadvantage, with Domenic Pileggi, Bob Mensch, Kim Ward, David Argall and Randy Vulakovich the lone survivors. In the House with several seats still to be called, the Republicans 111-92 advantage entering the election, is now a dominating 149- 54 advantage for Democrats. At least one unnamed operative suggested that Corbett may have killed the long-term fortunes of the party in Pennsylvania.

Now then moving on to Kentucky... In the First Congressional District, where the incumbent Ed Whitfield was defeated in the May 20, Primary we project that Paducah Mayor Gayle Kayler will defeat the Democrats nominee Wesley Bolin

Next, we can project in one of the more closely watched legislatures in the Country that the when all is said and done, Republicans will have a 23-12-2 majority in the State Senate, while the Democrats will have a 51-48-1 majority in the State Senate.

In the race, for the U.S Senate, which has been one of the most closely watched, and one of the most expensive, with Matt Bevin, Mitch McConnell and Alison Grimes spending a combined total of $67 million, we can project that Alison Grimes will win election to the U.S Senate, in what is likely to be a heavy blow to Republican chances to capture the Senate this year.
