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

[Brittain33]

Thanks.

Preliminary results from Mass. are giving me some hope for Patrick. Namely, he isn't getting trashed in the outer suburbs and Cape by Baker. What's in from Plymouth now is 50% Baker to 39% Patrick. That's not bad for a Dem. Patrick piled up a lot of votes in wealthy, liberal Concord, which is nice. But the missing part of the equation is the cities, where he'd need to get the lead to overcome losing the Scott Brown belt.

Patrick is at 44% in Sandwich, 43% in Yarmouth, 52% in Eastham on the Cape... Cahill is at 7% statewide but didn't completely collapse. I haven't crunched the numbers but what I see looks good for Patrick. High turnout may have brought out more Democrats.

Sink underperforming?

Republicans had a huge advantage in the early vote in Florida. Too early to say.

Not looking good for boy Duvie in CT if the exit polls are right.  He's just barely ahead of men, but not a good sign with women and women > men at the polls.

Who are you talking about? Dubie in VT?

[Brittain33]

Martha Coakley declared the winner!

SC - 31% reporting

Sheheen 52.5%
Haley 46.1%

Pretty hard to feel good about that as a D.

[Brittain33]

Because if she loses, the margin of loss is most likely because she's a Sikh. Kind of like Bobby Jindal's first loss (although he is a Christian.)

Im pretty sure she says shes christian.

She has been a bit fuzzy on it... I think she goes to church with her husband and her kids are being raised Christian... but she has been private about it and some of her statements indicate she has a foot in both camps. Not like Bobby Jindal, whose conversion and strong faith are a huge part of his biography.

God, I sound like a birther. I mean this completely respectfully, I'm not Christian myself.

CONGRATS DEVAL!

Barney Frank's victory speech was deliciously nasty. He kicked Bielat a few times.

[Brittain33]

Democrats may have picked up one state senate seat in Mass.: Tisei's. This is ridiculous. I think we lost a couple of handfuls of seats in the House, though.

[Brittain33]

Holy Christ. The Democrats currently have three seats in the New Hampshire Senate. There are maybe three or four more that they might win. Lynch is lucky as hell that he got re-elected.

This looks a lot like what happened in 2002 in NH, albeit even worse. I think they went down to 5 that year. NH voters like to inflict armageddon on the party in power at regular intervals, it seems.

So Rasmussen was what, 40 points off in its poll of Hawaii?

#nobiashere

all you Dem hacks are whistling past the graveyard blah blah

[Brittain33]

If voting were mandatory we wouldn't have these problems.
