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

[5280]

Texas, Rick Perry will win that. Susana Sanchez will win New Mexico. The other states will keep an eye on!

My bad, those should be in the governor threads.

It's all going to be up to Arapahoe and El Paso county who decides the next senator for CO. Looks like a late night!

[5280]

Some judge in Arapahoe county wanted to keep polls open so that's why the votes are coming in late.

Buck might pull it off near the end, still too close to call.

[5280]

It might be an error for Boulder, the numbers should be switched. If not, then Buck leading in that county is unrealistic.

The Denver Post has called the race for Michael Bennet.

Colorado now has a Dem Governor and 2 Dem Senators. And 2 were elected in one of the worst cycles for Dems ever.

We're becoming a landlocked Washington state!

Although, the Republicans do have 4 of the 7 House seats, and they won back the state House (though narrowly). They have also held the AG, are on track to win the SoS race, and are neck and neck in the Treasurer's race.

How did Perlmutter managed to survive so comfortably?
CO-7 is supposed to be the epitome of the swing district.

That area is turning very liberal, very fast.  It is essentially the Fairfax, VA of the west.  It has probably ceased to be competitive in national elections.

All the liberals moving from CA and the west coast, Illinois and New York. You can thank them bringing their ideologies with them and ruining it.  TX and AZ is looking better each day. CO = east CA

It was when it was drawn, but things have changed.

Are they getting redrawn next year?

CO will never be like MA, you have all the surrounding neighbor states which are dark/bright red in politics. It will always be a competitive state unless you get people from the coasts keep moving here.  The fact the REPs won CO-3 and CO-4 proves my point.
