2014 US Congressional Election Results

[Beet]

Tonight's a disaster. Anyone who thinks "moving to the left" is the appropriate response to this lives in another reality.

With 56% reporting, John Delaney is down 2.6 pts in MD's gerrymandered 6th district. With 43%, Chris Van Hollen is only up 7.6 pts.

God, this is worse than 2010. Arizona House races look like a bright spot though...

2010 could be blamed on the economy.

This means the GOP becomes the (heavy) favorites in 2016 if they don't do something stupid... like impeaching Obama.

Hillary really needs to rethink running for President now.

Huh? Conceding 2016 already? It certainly means she's not as favored in the general as we thought, but if anything it just destroys the notion that "a challenge to the left" would be constructive at all.

Turnout is horrible I think.

Well no sh**t, what reason have the Democrats given to have Democrats turn out? They've been absolutely pathetic at standing up to the GOP.

Well they're about to get more pathetic at it.

Chris Van Hollen is narrowly behind...

The future House Democratic leader? I can't believe he'll lose. If he does, it would be a bigger upset than Cantor. Not going to happen.

Tonight is brutal. Just brutal. I mean, we can't "win" every election but are there ANY bright spots for us tonight?

We have a star that's going to hang on in NH, your stereotypical horrible GOPer going down in flames in PA, and the the door is open for progressives to really take over the Democratic Party.  Those are the bright spots.

This is nuts. Progressives aren't a majority in this country, not even close, is the sad reality. This is a wake-up call like 1994 that we need to meet the electorate where it is or face an even worse fate.

Progressives are a bigger chunk of the electorate than you think, they just don't know it.  

Lol no. maybe in 10 or 15 years if they make the case to the American people, but not today or within the foreseeable future. Conservatives proved a bigger chunk of the electorate than thought today, by 5-10 points.

This is a county Democrats should be winning, or at least doing better than 27% in.
