That is just among Indies in NH I think.

Fox: VA closer than all polling suggested.

Anybody have a link to the state exit polls?  I can't find them on CNN.com, my usual go-to source for them. 

Also, has anyone found the AP link?

Landrieu's probably toast too, then.

I wonder, considering Pennsylvania's recent trends of throwing out incumbent Republicans, if Toomey should be worried. I always saw him as a rather safe incumbent, but who knows.

If Toomey were the GOP candidate, the Governorship would not have been lost.

Where can I get some Alaska results?

I just realised something  - this is the first election since the rise of the Tea Party to not feature at least one Republican "giveaway" for being too conservative. Was there even a clear example in the House?

That is actually misleading as it narrows the confines of seats being blown to one category. Republicans have been blowing seats every cycle going back as far as 1996 for a variety of stupid reasons.

1996 - Larry Pressler
1998 - Lauch Faircloth
2000 - Bill McCollum, John Ashcroft and Rod Grams
2002 - Tim Hutchinson, Susan Terrell (lost to LAndrieu in runoff)
2004 - Pete Coors
2006 - Allen and Burns
2008 - Stevens and to some extent Dole.
2010 - Angle, Buck and O'Donnell (and I would would say McMahon)
2012 - Akin, Mourdock, Berg, and Rehberg

There were serious problems with the independent commission in AZ.

The Arizona map has a slight partisan effect (why deny what's clearly true?) but is saintly compared to the average. Whinging about it thus lacks dignity.

I have complained about all the gerrymanders, and I would assume in proportion to the degree of their horridness, and none of which more so then right here in NC. The thing about AZ and NJ (which I was not familiar with but considering Christie that doesn't surprise me), is that they are commissions and therefore more is to be expected from them then a partisan legislature.

Out of roughly 20,000 ballots counted today, Begich only made up 238 votes.

Does that include the previous 15,000 or is this another whole group of 20,000.

If yes, Begich would need ot win by 68%-32% amongst those remaining votes. If not, he would need to win by 65%-35% to overtake Sullivan. I know Fox called it this morning.

The fact that Inhofe did better than Lankford, even if only incrementally, is a disgrace.

Why? Inhofe is a great statesman.

Coburn was a thousand times better and while I am glad that it was not Tom Cole that got his seat, I still think they could have done much better then Lankford. If Lankford had been replacing Inhofe, the relative nature of the question would make Lankford far more appealing.

Conservatives voting for Ravenel.

Graham has gone over the deep end on foreign policy and thus could explain the indies.

I actually forgot about this race all day until just now.
