PRE-ELECTION CHATTER THREAD (SENATE/HOUSE RACES)

[cinyc]

Has anyone had any luck finding a link to the AP Senate results?  All I can find are the maps, not actual data in table form.

No dice, all I've found is CNN's results page: http://www.cnn.com/ELECTION/2010/results/full/

Annoyingly, they're sticking with their 2008 decision to not show third-party candidates anymore, unless they're expected to do extremely well (as in RI-Gov, ME-Gov, and FL-Sen).

Thanks.  CNN's not ideal, if they're dropping the third parties and all, but it's better than dealing with no data.

They're probably saving whatever effort it would take to add third-party candidates to get their hologram working.

ABC News does the same thing - but at least it puts everything on the same page:

Connecticut SEN, for example:

Their "Big Board" is very nice, in my opinion.

I need to see the third parties in the New York gubernatorial race. I really do.

[HappyWarrior]

So worn out and so not ready for tomorrow but its coming anyway.  Trying to keep the great Congressman for the Eastern Shore, Frank Kratovil in office.  I'll be putting in the whole day to keep the Congressman in office.  8 PM for peace to return to my life.

You and me both.  It's relevant to see which parties get a permanent place on the ballot.  And it's not like New York has a Board of Elections site that gives timely results, either.

Just because there is good weather doesn't mean Democrat turnout will go up. Actually this might help Cao at least since it looks like Louisiana will have some showers.

Okay. Thanks for that!

[Mr. Morden]

Polls are now open in several East Coast states.

[Mr. Morden]

Apparently, one place where the weather forecast is lousy is Alaska.  Not sure if that'll affect turnout or not.

Isn't it generally pretty lousy up there?

Also, one of the best places for results may be USA Today, of all places. In 2008, they had results for everything from Senate and Governor down to the state legislative level (and they included third-party candidates). No maps, though.

Is Chandler's district or any of the competitive Indiana districts wholly in the 6pm closing zone? It'd be nice to get full results for those early.

[Phony Moderate]

Fox News just showed Coons and Rubio voting.

Chandler's district is, yes. IN-9 is as well.

[Eraserhead]

When will those shady exit polls start leaking on places like mydd and the National Review's blog? 4 PM eastern time or so?

I'm still sad I'm going to be missing most of election night thanks to my insane canvassing hours.

     Think that's bad? I'm missing most of election night due to a freaking midterm.

Here is Jay Cost's election analysis from the weekly standard.  GOP +75 in the House, +9 in the Senate. The dirty little secret is that everybody in the end, is a slave to the generic poll numbers, and nobody knows which are right. Oh dear.

The most important race to watch early on is IN-2 in my opinion. If the GOP wins or breaks even there, it should be a 60 plus seat night for them. Conversely, if the GOP does not at least break even in IN-9, then the GOP net is going to be less than 50 seats, with control of the House in some substantial doubt. Unless of course, the results in these two seats prove idiosyncratic. And if KY-3 falls, the sky is the limit. I am not sure how valuable what happens in KY-6 will be, which is more about whether the Dem is sufficiently blue dog and anti Obama enough. Ditto later on, with WV-1.
