NBC calls MA for Warren!!!!!

[Phoenix Dark]

Elizabeth Warren projected winner in MA senate race

[Joe Molotov]

Linda McMahon spent $200mil to lose two senate races in a row

good to see Lieberman's old seat going to an actual democrat

She should have challenged Chris Murphy to an "I Quit" match.

[Diunx]

Has Mittens won yet?

[ToxicAdam]

MI for Barry O called right away - that bodes well for OH no?

No, MI is more like Pennsylvania.

[TakingBackSunday]

christ, florida is going to be so fucking close.  possibly within 10,000?

[Phoenix Dark]

MI for Barry O called right away - that bodes well for OH no?

No, MI is more like Pennsylvania.

Eh? How so

PA is basically dominated by Philly. It's possible for a republican to win MI despite Wayne County (Detroit), whereas it's nearly impossible for a republican to win PA

issue wise MI and OH are similar

[ToxicAdam]

Lol Fox calls Pennsylvania for Obama ... Way to waste your time mitt.

[TakingBackSunday]

especially this year, in regards to the auto-bailout issue

OH is obama's.

Romney may be fucked

I'm strictly speaking Presidential politics. Penn and MI have been in lockstep since 1980.

[Phoenix Dark]

I can't believe how much time Romney wasted in PA. Especially after seeing McCain do the same thing four years ago. Wow

[Madrun Badrun]

Allen West needs to lose- that'd cap off Elizabeth winning nicely

MI and PA are really similar for presidential politics in the last 20 years.  Spending money in PA wasn't necessarily dumb for Romney, though; he's only going to win if something weird happens, they had a ton of money to spend, and any more ad buys in OH probably would have had returns diminishing to about zero.


Oh, and the guy from Unskewed Polls made his final prediction of Romney winning with 275 EV's.  His story didn't even address how huge a shift this was from his earlier predictions.  How disappointing.

[Joe Molotov]

They're already fapping furiously on the MSNBC coverage. Someone needs to take one for the team and see what the Fox News coverage is like.

[Madrun Badrun]

A quick update from Florida: It's going down to the wire. More than 48% of the vote has been counted and the candidates are deadlocked at 49.5% for Obama and 49.7% for Romney. Florida is a huge prize, with 29 electoral college votes at stake.

[Phoenix Dark]

Allen West needs to lose- that'd cap off Elizabeth winning nicely

He's down right now. Let's hope. I want him and Joe Walsh to lose, bad. I won't get my hopes up about Bachman...

[ToxicAdam]

Shit, Toledo is losing.

MAC football

[MyNameIsMethodis]

a republican from the north east was never going to win anything in the midland states.

[Human Snorenado]

I'm not sure if Obama will come back and win VA (probably) but Kaine is definitely beating Allen at this rate.

[Stoney Mason]

Rep. Chris Murphy (D-Conn.) defeated Linda McMahon in Connecticut's election for U.S. Senate, projects the Associated Press.

Murphy was narrowly favored to win in the preceding days against McMahon, the former World Wrestling Entertainment CEO. She spent $42.6 million on the race, according to her recent campaign finance report.

President Barack Obama made a direct appeal for Murphy in a television ad released Friday. McMahon, buoyed by her lavish self-funding, flooded the state in television ads.

McMahon's own campaign material had urged voters to vote for her and Obama, despite the fact that she endorsed Mitt Romney for president and donated $150,000 to his campaign.

Murphy will replace retiring Sen. Joe Lieberman (I-Conn.), who was first elected as a Democrat before leaving the party in 2006. However, Lieberman had continued to caucus with the party.

Murphy was first elected to the House of Representatives in 2006 and served in the Connecticut legislature beforehand.

 

Fuck you Joe Lieberman.

[Great Rumbler]

Obama's now up by 9k in Florida with 75.1% of the votes in.

[TakingBackSunday]

Wisconsin called for Bams, as well as Sherrod Brown in OH

[Great Rumbler]

I'm not watching any of the TV coverage at all. Everything I need to see is either posted here or on Talking Points Memo.

[ToxicAdam]

They already called it for Brown in Ohio? Obama has Ohio in he bag then.

[Phoenix Dark]

Brown wins in Ohio. There's no way Romney wins there, wow

[Great Rumbler]

Man, where's Dan Rather when we need him? Some of these races are incredibly close!

[Madrun Badrun]

82% of Florida counted with a 600 vote difference?  fuck.

[ToxicAdam]

The only drama seems to be Florida and NC. Which seems inconsequential, but could greatly effect the narrative of this election.

[Joe Molotov]

Richard Mourdick is dead, I hope Akin gets the boot as well.

[Great Rumbler]

Doesn't look too good for Akin, he's trailing by nearly 10%.

Which isn't nearly enough.

[TakingBackSunday]

FL, eeeeeek!

[ToxicAdam]

Ohio needs to have it's own results show and open them up tomorrow night in prime time and collect ad revenues. I'm a genius.
