2014 US Congressional Election Results

[Badger]

Looks like IN-7 was a typo the entire time. Carson now narrowly leads the Republican.

His mother and he both have chronically underperformed inn races.

Roberts up 6 in KS with 44% of the vote in 51-45

Congrats Phil!

my feeling is better than in 2010...

Mine too.

Louise Slaughter, who's been in office since the '80s, is behind with 90% reporting in her district. Damn. The Democrats might lose half a dozen Congressional seats in New York alone.

I obviously don't go in for "Ready4Hillary mania", but assuming she is the nominee, these freshmen are going to have a hard row to hoe for a second term.

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

We knocked off an incumbent GOP governor in PA. Another in KS may drop very soon. Also picked up a Republican district in Florida.

Brownback is winning.

Ernst up 50-46 with 60% in.  They need to call this race so I can go to bed...

It's called for Ernst, Bushie. You can go get your daily recommended 13 hours of beauty sleep now.

I think my favorite part of the night quickly became the humbling of the Nerd Herd around here. You know, the people that act like Mark Warner is literally God-like. What an absolute joke of a candidate to only beat Gillespie by 1%. I wouldn't even deliver a victory speech if I were him. I'd be too embarrassed.

And how close did you predict Gillespie would come? Or ever once opine anything prior to the last two weeks indicating Warner wouldn't win easily?

Welcome to the herd.

I want to apologize to the Forum: I said McConnell would win by 6-8%. He won by 15%.

Accepted, but watch yourself.
