The attendance was horrendous. This probably costs Wolf a point or two.
are you serious? I could barely get a seat and the line stretched for blocks behind me. I think the back two sections upper deck didn't get filled, but everything else seemed to be.

Dude, it wasn't a big crowd consisting the arena. He obviously wasn't going to fill the house but it also wasn't a gigantic attendance. Even the middle level wasn't entirely filled, if I saw correctly.

Of course they had to pack you in. They already had a giant curtain up covering a good deal of the arena. Tongue

Look, it doesn't particularly matter either way.

They called it immediately for Casey. They usually have a damn good idea right before 8 as to how many people turned out in Philly. If the Dems hit their quota, they usually call the race but the key word there is usually: I believe they hit their quota in 2010 but the beautiful wave across the rest of the state swept Toomey in. Smiley

The issue tomorrow is concern with turnout in Philly. There isn't much of a Wolf operation, he's refusing to give out the legendary street money for Dem workers and there's too much of a feeling that Wolf has it in the bag (ever wonder why he brought in the President, FLOTUS, Hillary, Bill?). Now I, for one, think Corbett is too passionately hated here for their turnout not to hit the mark but for argument's sake, if it doesn't, they'll hold off a bit on making a declaration. I'd be floored if it isn't called by 9.

Just to show you this isn't some PA Dem wave: the GOP have added a whopping eight seats to our majority in the State House. We are going to have a 119-84 lead! And we kept the Senate.

Where are you getting the legislative results?

The Department of State Wink

And we picked up at least one Senate seat.

I hope you're watching, Mr. Wolf (who is only up by 10% now)!

Wolf's victory is unquestionably a hollow one. Those GOP gains in the legislature are amazing. 119 (!) total seats in the House now. Two pickups in the Senate while defending all of our seats. Wolf is going to have four very long years.

His margin was way lower than I expected to be. Do you think Corbett would give 2018 a try?

...uh, absolutely not.

Wait, wait. Sorry. GOP picked up three State Senate seats, currently at 30.
