Election Day Discussion & Coverage

[tpirfan28]

Coats did indeed create a party change, but he was not up against an incumbent.

I think Rich Snyder, (R) will win governor of Michigan, he just had more publicity. Also, I think Rob Steele will win Senator position against 55 year Michigan Senator John Dingell (84 years old.)

Senate
47 (D)  39 (R) - Democrats expected to take control

House
117 (D)  153 (R) - Republicans expected to take control

Also Nancy Pelosi has lost her job as House Speaker. (Although I'm not surprised, the Healthcare blowup was her demise)

CNN and the AP are now projecting GOP candidate Tom Corbett as the new governor of the Commonwealth. I was really hoping for Democrat Dan Onorato to win.

[Mr. Rainman]

Things are looking different on CNN.

Senate
Democrats have 47 seats, 41 seats with the Republicans. For some reason, race too close to tell.

House
Democrats have 90 seats, Republicans have 137. Republicans expected to win.

[Mr. Rainman]

Seven states with Democratic governers (Pennsylvania, Michigan, Tennessee, Oklahoma, Kansas, New Mexico, and Wyoming) have brought in Republican governers.

[Mr. Rainman]

Early results show that California's new senator is going to be....REPUBLICAN?

As expected Deval Patrick retains his Gov seat...

I'll be public here: I hope she wins. I don't want Boxer back in the Senate.

[Mr. Rainman]

Nothing wrong with being public. Personally, I'm just surprised, seeing how Democratic California has been period for such a long time.

[TWCToday]

No republicans expected to win the senate. I like how the media is acting like its a big deal they didn't get it

Seriously? Surprised the most liberal state in America remains in the hands of the democrats?

Sadly both of those women are horrible. Fiorina was horrible at HP and Boxer is beyond words! Sorry Ana but it looks like Boxer won. Shame

[toxictwister00]

Well although a run off was expected here in GA for the Governor race, Nathan Deal (R) won. VERY Disappointed. Republicans pretty much swept every race in GA except for two house seats that stayed democratic.

[Anistorm]

It's okay, Martin. I thought Fiorina got some potential. Oh well, it is what it is.

In other words... at 20% precincts, Jerry Brown will return to the governor's seat. Proposition 19 (legalizing marijuana) is heading towards a defeat. (YAY!!) 

[TWCToday]

I am really disappointed Harry Reid is going to remain in office.
