2008 Senate/House Results Thread

AK-AL should be called.  They're wasting our time.

[JohnnyLongtorso]

I think MD-01 and OH-15 are over as well.

They just can't bring themselves to do it...

Does Parnell have anything to do with calling it?

No - I'm bitching at CNN.

However, Parnell has a lot of responsibility concerning Stevens election..........

The Virginia SBOE currently has Tom Perriello leading Virgil Goode by 31 votes. This one is going to be a while.

It is up to 80 votes now, a veritable vote tsunami for the "socialist" party guy.

Merkley now has a slight lead in Oregon, with many of strong Democratic areas still to come in. It looks very good for him.

This is probably just Begich campaign propaganda, but maybe it'll temporarily raise the spirits of everyone here who thinks convicted felons shouldn't win elections. This is from Tom Begich, Mark's brother (coincidence that the Udalls and Begich's are both Toms and Marks? maybe)

What's the deal with OH-15?

Obama has no coattails.

I meant, as in, why haven't the networks called it even though it's completely in and Stivers has a wide margin?

It's not completely in. CNN is posting old numbers, or was yesterday, showing an outdated huge lead for Stivers. The race is down to a few hundred votes and there are tons of provisional ballots to count because of ID laws and the flood of new voters. In 2006, Kilroy caught up a few thousand votes in this stage of the process. There's a good chance it will happen again.

[TheresNoMoney]

Kilroy is the favorite to come out on top in OH-15.
