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

[Vepres]

Uh, Jefferson still has <1% reporting. It has some strong Republican areas in it. Ditto for Arapahoe, which has only 10% in.

[TheDeadFlagBlues]

Okay Vepres, we'll see who is right.

[King]

Harry Reid: STREETFIGHTER

[Badger]

Harry Reid giving his victory speech. Someone teach the man to smile for pete's sake! Whoever got him to smile for his campaign ads deserves an advertising Emmy.

[Citizen (The) Doctor]

Do they check if the write-ins are valid when they count the votes?

[exopolitician]

Washington is taking for....ever....

[TheDeadFlagBlues]

I'm definitely going to be staying up late to see what happens to Minnick.

[ag]

Toomey pulled it off. 99% career ACU rating from Pennsylvania will be sweet.

For one term.

By 2016, President Palin will disenfranchise all liberals in America.

Given what's happening in Alaska, it might be a legit question if she gets her own state's delegates in the Republican convention )

[Smash255]

I am quite surprised by the quick call for Boxer. This one is going to be close, although Boxer should win.

Fiorina still has a shot, surprising really.

No she doesn't.

[Torie]

Oberstar will clearly win in MN-8, even though he is behind at the moment. That will make BRTD happy.   And Giffords will probably pull it out, unless what is remaining in Tuscon versus the rest in Pima County is decidedly more Pubbie.

[TheDeadFlagBlues]

Fiorina still has a shot, surprising really.

No she doesn't.

Boxer has a three point lead now.

[Smash255]

Uh, Jefferson still has <1% reporting. It has some strong Republican areas in it. Ditto for Arapahoe, which has only 10% in.

About 1/2 of Jefferson is now in, Bennet slightly ahead, looks to be keeping pace with the early vote in Jefferson.  Very little of Araphoe still in, early vote went to Bennet.

With what is left in Boulder and Denver (and to a lesser extent Adams) considering all of Weld is in and the vast majority of El Paso and Douglas are in, Bennet will win.

[Marokai Backbeat]

MSNBC rolled out the B team. It's like amateur hour over there now.

[King]

I am quite surprised by the quick call for Boxer. This one is going to be close, although Boxer should win.

Fiorina still has a shot, surprising really.

No she doesn't.

Boxer has a three point lead now.

Los Angeles County is only 23% reporting. Same with Alameda, Santa Clara, and Santa Cruz.

She's done done done.

[bgwah]

Most counties in Washington are done reporting for the night, just FYI...

[Platypus]

Looks like the west has saved the Democrats from a truly horrible year.

Boxer just quoted me.

[Fmr. Pres. Duke]

Buck will lose. I wonder when the voters will wake up and see the failure of the tea party?

If he does win, and I'm pretty cautiously optimistic about it, it will certainly prove that going on the attack and refusing to toe the line of conventional wisdom on social issues can be a benefit to you. Bennet hit Buck hard with accusations of him being an extremist on abortion and wasn't afraid to throw it in his face while debating him.

It's risky. It did backfire on Grayson, after all.

It backfired on Grayson because he conducts himself like a raving lunatic. Bennet is much more restrained in his personality.

dDing ding ding ding! Correct answer!

[Marokai Backbeat]

How are you holding up tonight, Badger? Not a good night for us Ohio Dems.

[Vepres]

Looks like the west has saved the Democrats from a truly horrible year.

Yeah. From Pennsylvania to Iowa, Democrats did terribly in statewide races.

[Badger]

Needing a drink, and resolving myself to go to bed. Knowing Reid, Murray and Bennett all have apparently held on actually exceeds my expectations for the Senate, so I guess that's a silver lining. The House losses are worse then I expected, and seeing even Cordray and Wilson going down sucks, but at least I have that genuine relative success in the Senate to keep me from tossing and turning all night.

Night all.
