Senate Results thread

Allen is holding on to a 12,000 vote lead over Webb with nearly 96% precincts reporting. 

Allen leads with 49.7%, with Webb trailing narrowly with 49.1%.

[Clay]

I really can't believe Allen might win.  This is just sad.

[All life is a blur of Republicans and meat.]

i think republicans will hold at least 3 out of the 4 remaining senate races.

  All Democrats and fair minded people across the world,

      Begin hating the Green Party now. Un-fickin-believable.

   G F Allen     Republican    1,093,704    49.67%
  J H Webb Jr     Democratic    1,081,706    49.13%
  G G Parker     Independent Green    24,313    1.10%
  Write Ins          2,181    0.10%

You can't just assume those people would have voted for the Democrat, if there wasn't a Green candidate running. I'm actually betting most of them wouldn't have voted.

 
  This argument works sometimes, but rarely and not here. In 2000, if only 10% of Nader voters had shown up to vote for Gore, Gore would have won by over 1500 votes. Here, if only 1/2 of the green votres voted for Webb, he'd have the lead.

I think if any of the Green party voters cared about Democrat control of Congress, they would have begun to support Webb the second the race became competitive. Obviously, at this stage, It would be safe to assume that if any of Parker's supporters would be voting Webb under any circumstance, they would have done so today- with a chance to shift the Senate away from Republican control.

Just to tell people who arent looking at House thread. Speaker Pelosi, Dem house

The thing is, they don't at all deserve it.

Look at Nebraska

Early though.

[Secretary Polnut]

Ah... apparently something MIGHT be going on in MD.

That's good to hear. 

How big a majority are they predicting it will be at this point? 

[Brandon W]

I just heard that that the Maryland senate race is going to be moved from Cardin winning to no winner.  Steele is currently in the lead

[Bacon King]

After looking through which areas' precincts still have to declare, I think Webb still has a shot. The only remaining precincts are from areas that are either 50-50 or largely democratic.

[Umengus]

allen by 5000 is my final prediction

[Wakie]

Webb is within 12,000 with almost 1/2 of Richmond still out.

[Frodo]

There's still 84 precincts left to count in Virginia. 

[WalterMitty]

that is great!

meanwhile, tennessee is 'too close to call'

these networks can barely contain their glee with the 'democrat victory'

(also ehrlich is still in the lead)

[sethm0]

 Ford is looking pretty good. Only 1/3 of the Memphis vote has been counted.

[J. J.]

98% of Arlington is in and Allen still leads by about 1,000 votes.  There are still parts of some small Allen counties out as well.

[Frodo]

Interesting -CNN is calling Maryland for Ben Cardin, and yet Steele leads Cardin 50 to 48...and this is with nearly half of all precincts in Maryland reporting. 

[Umengus]

Webb is within 12,000 with almost 1/2 of Richmond still out.

only 1/3 on cnn

[Fmr. Gov. NickG]

Check the counties still outstanding....mostly Montgomery and Baltimore City. No way Steele even gets close.

[Frodo]

Oh, and in Washington state, Cantwell is leading McGavick 55 to 42 with 13% of precincts reporting.

reminds me of dick swett-bob smith in nh in 1996.
