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

[Eraserhead]

Extremely close in OH according to the exit poll... looks like 50-48 Strickland.

Yeah, I almost jumped out of my seat when I saw this.

[Eraserhead]

Yeah, looks like Quinn will win. My gut always told me he would... should have stuck with it.

[Eraserhead]

Wow. PPP, Rasmussen and Quinnipiac all f**ked up CT GOV royally... and of course I went along with them. Sigh.

Oh well, very happy to be wrong.

[Eraserhead]

Haha, GOP is barely going to have a net gain in governorships at this rate.

[Eraserhead]

SC is looking back-and-forth. Pathetic for Haley either way, though

Yeah, really. Absolutely hilarious.

[Eraserhead]

Quinn is now OBLITERATING Brady in the exit poll.

[Eraserhead]

So were the polls just completely useless this year or what?

[Eraserhead]

I probably should have stayed with my gut in IL...

Same here, bro. Brady was never an appropriate fit for the state ideologically. Also, he's basically a dog murderer. So yeah.

[Eraserhead]

Alright some of the early CNN Exit polls were clearly busted. My final predictions don't look as bad now.

[Eraserhead]

Going by what's out, I think Quinn should still pull off the upset.

[Eraserhead]

Strickland has just gone down according to Fox.

John Kaisch is the next Governor of Ohio

That's disturbing!

[Eraserhead]

MSNBC calls California for Brown

Schneiderman wins by a larger margin than predicted

Congrats. It looks like you were right about him performing better than DiNapoli.

[Eraserhead]

Yet another heartbreaker. Ugh.

[Eraserhead]

CT GOV is probably headed to court.

[Eraserhead]

Haley performed so, so badly.

[Eraserhead]

Haley performed so, so badly.

We should have spent the money we wasted in RI on SC. Could have won that race...

Quite possibily. The really funny thing is that everyone dismissed those Democratic internal polls that kept coming out on the race and they turned to be right.

[Eraserhead]

Thanks goodness Quinn has defeated that slimeball Brady. Definitely one of the best results of the night.

[Eraserhead]

Dudley has conceded, apparently.

[Eraserhead]

It's kind of interesting how there was virtually no racial difference in support for Prop 19. 47% of blacks, 46% of whites and 45% of hispanics supported it. Only Asians were somewhat different with only 39% of them supporting it but their sample was very small in the exit so who can say how accurate that even is...

[Eraserhead]

The state legislature would have voted Dubie in if he got more votes regardless of party affiliation.

It looks like Democrats are going to end up picking up quite a few governorships and holding a few that we weren't really expected to. If only we could have held on to Ohio and picked up Florida (so close!), it would have been a fantastic night for us on that front. I mean, one can only feel so bad about losing a bunch that we had no business holding in the first place (Wyoming, Oklahoma, Kansas, etc.)

By the way, do people think that Florida should count as a Republican pickup?

[Eraserhead]

Wisconsin was actually closer than I expected it to be.

[Eraserhead]

Also lol @ Jerry Brown beating Meg Whitman by 13 points. Gavin Newsom won big too.
