We're getting to California yet ? I'd like to see if CA Dems will sweep all 8 statewide offices again.

Soon...

[NewYorkExpress]

Keep me posted when you deliver the results from the Golden State.

I'm waiting to see how BIG the landslide margin will CA Governor Jerry "Moonbeam" Brown (D) will have in his bid for a historic 4th term, plus how many counties will he carry out of 58.

I'm not telling you whether Brown's running... but I will tell you that the Democratic Gubernatorial nominee will not carry all 58 counties.

How many states you got left before you get to California ?

We just finished Utah and Idaho... and Montana is next, and I'll probably do all the other remaining states before California, because of the large number of Congressional Districts.

Final Results

Senate
Image Link[/img]
With the Louisiana runoffs approaching, Democratic gains in Mississippi, South Carolina and Kentucky have been more than wiped out by Republican gains in Colorado, Michigan, North Carolina, Arkansas and West Virginia. The current Senate scoreboard (not counting Louisiana, and separately counting Angus King and Bernie Sansers, who caucus with the Democrats) is 51 Democrats, 2 Independents and 48 Republicans.

Governors

Democrats did far better in the battle for the various Governors mansions up this year, knocking off incumbents in Florida, Pennsylvania and Michigan, but they lost the Illinois Governorship in a blowout to former Senator Pete Fitzgerald, and failed to derail the likely 2016 Presidential bid of Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker.

Republicans Hold House, undecided about Speaker.

Several owners expected to testify- as is disgraced ref Tim Donaghy


U.S Attorney Preet Bharara, has unveiled another thirty page indictment, this time targeting former NBA Commissioner David Stern, Current NBA Commissioner Adam Silver and the former director of NBPA Executive Director Billy Hunter for fixing draft lotteries in 1984, 1985 and 2008 as well as the 2002 Western Conference Finals and the 2013 NBA Finals, both of which Bharara asserts "were manipulated to go the full distance of games, and to produce a result favorable to the leagues bottom line". Bharara has issued subpoenas to several owners, including New York Knicks owner James Dolan, Dallas Mavericks Owner Mark Cuban, Washington Wizards Owner Ted Leonisis, and former LA Clippers Owner Donald Sterling (who was forced out in late May, for making racist remarks on tape to a mistress). Bharara is believed to have also issued a subpoena to disgraced referee Tim Donaghy, who's new lawyer Peter Neufeld said "my client is finally going the chance to show the world that he was right, when said the NBA was rigged." Hunter and Silver have had bail set $750,000, and Stern had bail set at $1, 775,000 this morning. Hunter's next hearing is on December 29 before Senior District Judge Sidney Stein,  Silver's (who has not resigned or been forced out as Commissioner) next hearing is on January 6, 2015 before, District Judge Kenneth Karas, and Stern's next hearing is on January 9, 2015 before Senior District Judge Shira Sciendlin.

And you felt the need to double post that why?

Because in your original posting of it the code for the Senate map is screwed up, and I wanted to see it so I quoted the post and fixed it.

Ah, okay thanks.
