NATIONAL GOVERNOR/OTHER RESULTS THREAD (LATE RESULTS/POSTMORTEM)

[Mr.Phips]

Quinn will almost certain win at this point.  He's up by 9,000 votes and all that is left is bits of Cook county.

[Mr.Phips]

If current trends hold, Kitzhaber will pull ahead by 8,000 votes in the end. 

[Mr.Phips]

Is a big Democratic city still out in Connecticut?  Foley still leads by around 5,000 votes. 

[Mr.Phips]

I don't understand. Foley still leads in CT with 95% in, yet Malloy is the winner? What is going on?

What remains is New Haven which is currently 83%-16% for Malloy and Bridgeport which is only slightly less favorable for him. 

[Mr.Phips]

Brown had a larger margin of victory than Sandoval right next door.  Didn't expect that at all.

     CA & NV were both strong points for the Democrats. Harry Reid pulled through, contrary to the suggestions of most polling.

I think we pretty much have to consider NV a blue state now.  Colorado has probably moved into the lean Dem column as of this election and it is rapidly turning blue.

I tend to agree.  Both of these states are becomming part of the Democratic firewall. 

[Mr.Phips]

It appears that Kitzhaber will win in Oregon.  He's now down just 10,000 votes and there is still 20% out in Multnomah county.  He should win by around 30,000 votes. 

[Mr.Phips]

I wouldn't read too much into an election between a nobody that people hate for good reason and a somebody that people hate for good reason. Someone had to win it.

Meanwhile, Republicans easily won the governor's race and picked up NV-03. So.

Yeah, but Reid and Bennet outperformed the polls by a pretty decent margin.  Both of them had been trailing by around three-four points going into the election. 

[Mr.Phips]

Kitzhaber now has a 6,000 vote lead and local newspapers are projecting him the winner.

[Mr.Phips]

If trends hold, Malloy should pull ahead by about 2700 votes after the final 40% of Bridgeport comes in.
