NATIONAL SENATE/HOUSE RESULTS THREAD (LATE RESULTS/POSTMORTEM)

[Јas]

AK:
Write-ins (Murkowski) +7,242 (39.4% v 35.3%) with 70% reporting

AK-GOV:
Write-ins (Murkowski) expands lead to +9,640 (40.0% v 34.9%) with 82% reporting

[Platypus]

By only 6 points, RI-01 has elected the nation's second openly gay freshman congressman.

I *think* that's Winfield's district.  If so, LOL.

Plus Polis was re-elected.

Actually, I think every gay candidate for a major party (ie, the Democrats ) won.

[Smash255]

Bunch more came in from Denver, some from Adams, Morgan.  Margin is now Buck 3,390.

None of Chaffee or ultra small Hinsdale are in.  91% of Adams in, 93% of Denver, still very little outside of the early vote in Araphoe as only 11% are in.  Boulder remains at 64%, San Miguel 83%.

[Joe Republic]

Sestak won Greene county by 2 votes.  Just thought I'd mention that.

[Mr.Phips]

AP declares Hanabusa winner

What do I need to put up as my sig again, or something? I don't remember the exact deals of our bet. Congratulations Memphis. Pity I had to lose a bet due to the loss of a man that I admire. Such is life. I would give you Oberstar if you give me Djou in a milisecond.

I agree with Torie here.  Djou is an awesome guy and didn't deserve to lose.

That's what I would say about a lot of Democrats who lost tonight.  Djou was simply a fluke who would lose once he had to run against a Democrat one on one.  Also, the fact that it looked like Republicans would win the House really hurt him.  Had this been a quiet, run of the mill midterm, he may have survived.

AK-GOV:
Write-ins (Murkowski) expands lead to +9,640 (40.0% v 34.9%) with 82% reporting

AK-GOV:
Write-ins (Murkowski) lead keeps growing... +10,500 (40.2% v 34.7%) with 88% reporting

[GMantis]

Bishop is ahead in GA-02 by about 5000 and with almost all precincts counted, yet all agencies refuse to call the race for him.

[Landslide Lyndon]

I'm actually surprised that West won by 9 points in FL-22.  I thought it would be much closer.

I bet good money that West will be this cycle's Michael Flanagan.

[Grumpier Than Uncle Joe]

Sestak won Greene county by 2 votes.  Just thought I'd mention that.

Greene County is practically WV lite.........not a big shocker at least to me.

[Mr. Morden]

Bennet's now taken the lead by about 5000 votes.

[Franzl]

I don't see any outstanding counties in Colorado that could provide any useful margin to Buck. Not to mention that a third of Boulder is still missing.

Bennet has won this.

[tmthforu94]

Murkowski winning makes up for Angle losing. Not a perfect night, but at least we didn't severely underperform like I feared.

[Franzl]

99% reporting in Alaska:

write-in: 41.0
Miller: 34.2

This was a great election all in all

[Guderian]

Basically Buck needs the remaining 89% of Arapahoe county to break for him. Looks like a long shot.

[GMantis]

99% reporting in Alaska:

write-in: 41.0
Miller: 34.2

They'll probably throw out a great deal of those Write-in votes, though - for example, Murkowski is not the only Lisa M. running as a write in. Yes, this will probably takes weeks.

[Lief 🗽]

Djou losing and Ambercrombie crushing Aiona in the HI-Gov race should teach us all one thing:

Never trust a Hawai'i poll done by a Haole from the mainland.

I suspect it's best to always add a couple of points to the Dems in a Hawaii poll, just as you should to the GOP in a poll of Alaska.

[Јas]

CO-SEN:
Buck lead expands to +9,456 (47.6% v 47.0%), 79% reporting

Denver 57% reporting, Boulder 64%.

CO-SEN:
Bennett takes the lead...  +5,568 (47.4% v 47.1%), 87% reporting

Denver all in.
Boulder 68% reporting

It's done.

[Franzl]

You're probably right, but Murkowski's camp thinks the margin is large enough to survive legal challenges. We'll see....but it seems pretty good to me (Especially since they were getting lists of write-in candidates in Alaska....although it wouldn't surprise me if some were still spelled wrong )

[Franzl]

Basically Buck needs the remaining 89% of Arapahoe county to break for him. Looks like a long shot.

There isn't anything left in Araphahoe, IMO. The 11% reporting is idiotic, look at the raw number of votes! It's an error.

Only Boulder has anything worthwhile left.

Bennet will win by about 1%, maybe very slightly more.

[Beet]

My oh my, what is Joe Miller going to do with his curtains? And why is Sarah Palin so ineffective in Alaska?

[Keystone Phil]

Sestak won Greene county by 2 votes.  Just thought I'd mention that.

And won my precinct by two votes.   

[Mr. Morden]

Has Alvin Greene actually conceded defeat?  I would love to see his concession speech.

[Brittain33]

Actually, I think every gay candidate for a major party (ie, the Democrats ) won.

Not the Republican candidate for Lt. Governor in Mass., I'm content to report. And this state being what it is, the Dems snapped up his senate seat, reducing the Republicans to 4 seats out of 40.

[Marokai Backbeat]

I'm confused. Bennet will win? But, he ran a really aggressive campaign throwing alot of stuff in Buck's face! And Mr. Moderate always tells me that Democrats who make abortion a major campaign issue never have it rebound to their benefit.

[Landslide Lyndon]

Bennett must be the most misunderestimated senate candidate of the year.
