2014 US Congressional Election Results

[Holmes]

Brett Hume on Fox News says Gillespie in VA has an internal poll that came out this morning showing him up 1% against Warner in VA. Let the fun begin!

One thing I will love about this election is all the stupid pundits will be proved wrong once again.

That's always good.

[Holmes]

Exit poll shows:

SC

Hutto 42
Graham 51
Ravenel 5

Dickerson 40
Scott 59


CNN projects Capito wins! R+1

If the Graham race does end up that close, Dems were dumb for not contesting it. Dems can get to 45% easily in SC, boost Ravenel a bit through SuperPACS, and maybe...?

Dems can get to 45% easily in South Carolina, but 46%? 47%? 50%? Impossible.

[Holmes]

If these numbers are representative of the county as a whole ...



It looks like the Dems are going to have a very, very long night.

Torie, it's 2% in. Please find some chill.

[Holmes]

Virginia Foxx losing. Less than 1% in, of course

If that is representative of the country as a whole, it's gonna be a long night for Republicans...

[Holmes]

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.

I think if anyone other than Corbet were the GOP candidate, the governorship wouldn't have been lost. Or it would've been a better fight.

[Holmes]

I'm tired of Torie posting screencaps of races with only 2% in and acting all SHOCKED! at the results. We get it, man. The results are CRAZY! when only a small amount of ballots have been counted.

[Holmes]

Every villain has to win someday. 2014 may be The Empire Strikes Back, but 2016 will be The Return of the Jedi.

[Holmes]

Remember that time Pat Roberts beat some Independent dude by like 10%? Good times.

yas henny, drag them. Your old white man has SLAYN tonight, hunty!

[Holmes]

And Don Young, eternal congressman, will never lose. Even with that whole suicide controversy going on he wins 52-41, and by two years from now voters will forget.

Eh, Republicans could have run Child Rapist (R) anywhere in the country tonight and still won.

[Holmes]

Well, looking at the NYT House map (great utility that, but notice if you look at the NYT front page today, just how bitchy that "pinko rag" is about the Pub sweep, aka "anger sweeps the land, as the Pubs cash in on hate" as it were?), the Pubs have picked up 13 seats, and will win WA-04, CA-07, ME-02 and the two LA runoff seats, netting an 18 seat gain in the House. The Dems pick up ground as the votes are counted over the ensuing weeks in CA, so the Dems are going to hold CA-52 most probably , along with CA-16 and CA-26. And Barber will hold on in AZ-02, which is kind of a surprise to me, because McSally was an excellent candidate. I suspect Kirkpatrick did so well in AZ-01 due to a heavy Native American vote, which she cultivated assiduously. Good for her!

All a most surprising outcome - a near Pub wave, which as per usual peters out as one gets near the left coast. Well, perhaps not totally surprising to some (hi there Lief), but I digress.

Why are you sad that a sexual predator might lose in CA-52?

[Holmes]

It's not surprising that the CO race was close. Latinos made of 14% of the electorate. Udall's ground game worked.

No, if it worked, he would've won.

So Udall won all the suburb counties and still lost?  Wow, bunch of idiots living in Denver voted for the Uterus.

Yeah, good luck ever winning a presidential election in Colorado again.

Colorado might favor the Democrats when it comes to the presidential elections, but if they can't win races like this, it's gonna be a problem. The Democrats' inability to get out their voters in this race and others around the country is a catastrophic failure on their part.

Ex Californians, I tell you. 

Yeah, and the reason New Hampshire is Democratic is because of those damn Massholes.

[Holmes]

Jeez, not content with gerrymandering half the country, Republicans are now attacking independent commissions too! Greedy.

They want it all.

[Holmes]

Straw?

As in, clutching at it. Louisiana is 30% Black. A convicted paedophile could probably poll 40% as a Democrat in a seriously contested statewide election (but no higher).

A convicted paedophile could probably win statewide in Louisiana as a Republican too.
