House Results thread

[Raoul Takemoto]

McNerney leads Pombo by 1.4 % in CA-11 with 31.3 % of precincts counted.

[jerusalemcar5]

So close in NY-25.  However there are 13,000 absentee ballots and Walsh leads by only 4,000.  Still a chance.  Damn rural voters of Wayne County.

[Verily]

Leach has lost in IA-02. With 99% reporting, he's down 612 votes.

[Deano963]

Kagen has won WI-08. (ddint know if that was posted already)

[Verily]

Wahlberg (who ousted Schwarz in the primary) is facing a surprisingly tough battle in MI-07; he's up by only 5% with 83% reporting. He'll win, but it was quite close.

[Verily]

Cubin leads by 653 votes with 98% reporting. She's probably won, sadly.

[Conan]

Walz has won

[Fmr. Gov. NickG]

Cubin leads by 653 votes with 98% reporting. She's probably won, sadly.

The remaining votes are in one of Trauner's strongest county.  This one comes down within 200 votes either way.

Carbon County, right? Then maybe Trauner will win, very narrowly.

[okstate]

Simmons now down only 239 votes in CT-02... This is a tight one, wow

[Verily]

CNN finally called FL-13 for Buchanan. I guess there will be no recount.

[Verily]

Leach can't win IA-02. The two counties that haven't fully reported are Loebsack's strongest.

[Verily]

Porter leads Hafen by only 1% with 63% reported in NV-03.

[7,052,770]

They've finnaly called a Lampson victory

I assume it's for the special and the general?

[okstate]

CNN finally calls for Lampson and for Dems in CO-07

[Cubby]

Not sure if anyone posted it yet, but my district hasn't gone the way I had hoped.  Just got back from the Nassau Democratic Party where Mejias gave his concession speech

with 97 percent reporting King is up 56-44%

I was so pissed off when I heard that. Its amazing he survived a Governor and Senator landslide and a nationally pro-Democratic year.

BRTD must be really annoyed that Bachmann won. That was another surprise.

Connecticut Update:

#2- To Close to Call. Courtney (D) is 239 votes ahead with 97% reporting.

#4- Shays is re-elected!!!! I'm okay with that b/c he's my favorite House Republican.

#5- The wicked witch Nancy Johnson is defeated. I had thought that she'd only go if Shays did as well.

If Courtney holds on to his lead, Chris Shays will be the only Republican Representative left in New England.

[okstate]

Fortenberry survives in NE-01.

[Verily]

Bonilla is still under 50% with 80% reporting.

[Raoul Takemoto]

McNerney increases lead over Pombo to 1,500 votes in CA-11with 1/3 of the precincts reporting.

[Gabu]

Porter leads by 3,460 votes in NV-03, with 82% reporting.

Grant and Sali are still neck-and-neck (for Idaho standards) in ID-01 with 43% reporting; the results currently are 46-49, respectively.

[Storebought]

I wonder why New York (unlike PA, especially) wasn't a total disaster for the GOP. I thought Reynolds would lose, and Pete King's double-digit win was odd, too.

And, yeah ... it is offensive to me that the GOP is reduced to one seat in New England (oddly enough from the fellow who supported the Iraq war the strongest among his state House delegation)

[okstate]

Here's my guesses right now, using CNN's list of races still uncalled.

CA-04 - R hold
CA-11 - D pickup
CA-36 - D hold
CA-39 - D hold
CA-43 - D hold
CA-47 - D hold
CA-50 - R hold
CO-04 - R hold
CT-02 - D pickup
CT-04 - R hold
GA-08 - R pickup
GA-12 - D hold
IA-02 - D pickup
ID-01 - R hold
LA-02 - D hold
MI-07 - R hold
MI-08 - R hold
MI-09 - R hold
MI-11  - R hold
NC-08 - R hold
NE-02 - R hold
NE-03 - R hold
NM-01 - D pickup
NV-02 - R hold
NV-03 - R hold
OH-02 - R hold
OH-15 - R hold
PA-06 - D pickup
PA-08 - D pickup
TX-23 - R hold
WA-05 - R hold
WA-08 - R hold
WY-AL - R hold

+6 net for Dems

+31 net for Dems when it's all over

[Gabu]

By the way, I'm not sure if anyone's mentioned LA-02 yet, but Jefferson is only at 30%, with Carter close behind at 22%.  This will almost surely go into a runoff that Carter will win.

[okstate]

239 vote deficit for Simmons in CT-02

Pretty damn close.
