I was merely making an observation your timeline is bad. Half of the candidates and results you've came up with makes little to no sense.

Welcome back, I'm Mike Viqueira, and we thank you for hanging in there for a long election night.


We end tonight in Arizona, which is facing a competitive Gubernatorial race for the first time since 2002.

The First Congressional District race between State Representative Andy Kwasman, incumbent Ann Kirkpatrick, and Sedona Mayor Rob Adams (running as a Libertarian) is too close to call.

Steve Schmidt (L) 3.75%

In the Third Congressional District, we project the incumbent Raul Grijlava, who made headlines traveling to California campaigning against Mary Bono and Gavin Newsom, and for Kamala Harris and Alex Padilla, will defeat Yuma Mayor Douglas Nicholls, who had been courted to run for Governor earlier in the year by State Republicans and passed on this race.

Arizona Third Congressional District 49% Reporting

David Schweikert (R) 33.9%
Phil Gordon (D) 30.1%

In the Seventh Congressional District, where incumbent Ed Pastor is retiring (and subsequently announced he would run Treasurer), we can project that State Representative Ruben Gallego will turn back a candidacy, that many Liberal leaders have feared for years in Sherrif Joe Arpaio, who turned out to be a paper tiger on the campaign trail "mostly because of his age" according one anonymous Republican Operative, who said the state was "just glad to have someone running here".

Arizona Seventh Congressional District 59% Reporting

Ruben Gallego (D) 60%
Joe Arpaio (R) 39%

Arizona Ninth Congressional District 51% Reporting

Jan Brewer (R) 58%
Mark Mitchell (D) 41%

In the race for Arizona's two Corporation Commission Seats, we project that Brenda Burns will be re-elected with token opposition, and that Gary Pierce's seat (Pierce is term limited, and is running for Mine Inspector) will be picked up by Democrat (and former Corporation Commissioner) Paul Newman who defeats Jerome Mayor Nikki Check.

Arizona Corporation Commission Seat "GP" 69% Reporting

Paul Newman (D) 53%
Nikki Check (R) 46%

In the race for Superintendent of Public Instruction, we project that the incumbent John Huppenthal, will defeat the President of the Arizona Board of Regents Fred DuVal, who dropped down from the Governors race on March 25, as polls, both in the primary and in the General Started looking bleak.

Arizona Superintendent of Public Instruction 55% Reporting

John Huppenthal (R) 57%

Arizona Treasurer 41% Reporting

J.D Mesnard (R) 63%
Bruce Babbitt (D) 36%

Arizona Secretary of State 57% Reporting

Justin Pierce (R) 57%
Terry Goddard (D) 42.7%

Finally, the race for Governor between Former Secretary of State Betsy Bayless (who made her way out of a crowded Republican field in a Primary that needed a total of six recounts), Congresswoman Krysten Simena, Barry Hess (Libertarian) and J.L Mealer (Green) is too close to call.

Arizona Governor 100% Reporting

Kyrsten Simena (D) 44.45% (Simena wins by 871 votes)
Betsy Bayless (R) 44.45%
Barry Hess (L) 6.7%

Final Results

Senate
Image Link[/img]
With the Louisiana runoffs approaching, Democratic gains in Mississippi, South Carolina and Kentucky have been more than wiped out by Republican gains in Colorado, Michigan, North Carolina, Arkansas and West Virginia. The current Senate scoreboard (not counting Louisiana, and separately counting Angus King and Bernie Sansers, who caucus with the Democrats) is 51 Democrats, 2 Independents and 48 Republicans.

Governors

Democrats did far better in the battle for the various Governors mansions up this year, knocking off incumbents in Florida, Pennsylvania and Michigan, but they lost the Illinois Governorship in a blowout to former Senator Pete Fitzgerald, and failed to derail the likely 2016 Presidential bid of Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker.

Republicans Hold House, undecided about Speaker.

Hunter and Silver have had bail set $750,000, and Stern had bail set at $1, 775,000 this morning. Hunter's next hearing is on December 29 before Senior District Judge Sidney Stein,  Silver's (who has not resigned or been forced out as Commissioner) next hearing is on January 6, 2015 before, District Judge Kenneth Karas, and Stern's next hearing is on January 9, 2015 before Senior District Judge Shira Sciendlin.

And you felt the need to double post that why?

And you felt the need to double post that why?

Because in your original posting of it the code for the Senate map is screwed up, and I wanted to see it so I quoted the post and fixed it.

Turkey, Spain, Brazil, Tuvalu and Cote D'Ivoire elected to the UN Security Council


For some countries, a spot on the UN Security Council means a chance to influence world policy. For some, like former Istanbul Mayor Nurettin Sozen, it's a chance to prove you are a regional strength, and for some, such as Rio de Janerio mayor Eduardo Paes, it's a chance to strut your're stuff on the global stage. Turkey, Spain, Brazil, Tuvalu, and Cote D Ivoire got that chance this morning, earning election to the UN Security Council by lopsided margins.
