California will probably keep Boxer — and elect themselves a Carter-era dustball who hasn’t been politically relevant since the last time he climbed down off of Linda Ronstadt — but the rest of the country seems to have a hankering for change from Change.
Whether or not they vote that way or not is another question.
While we wait to find out, post links, tips, observations, and anecdotes here. After you vote, of course.
A much more difficult climb, these days.
Have we been accused of vote fraud or suppressing the votes of women, children, and minorities yet?
I got a rock.
If Moonbeam’s back in, will Doonesbury become relevant again?
Garry Trudeau is still alive?
I heard from my libertarian Chicago friend that Kirk is a sure thing in Illinois but Brady is too fundie
What about Joe in Alaska?v
Been working the polls in PA-8. Huge turnout. I’ve got my fingers crossed for what I call the “Donkey Mattanza.”
Was Ronstadt ever relevant?
One hopes the impeachment proceedings start soon after the swearing-in ceremony.
Deport Obama.
“Deport Obama”
Yea, b/c he’s from Keynesia!
I’m going to guess that Dr. Deb didn’t think to request an absentee ballot before she had her ass tossed into the slammer. Heh.
*One hopes the impeachment proceedings start soon after the swearing-in ceremony.*
I friggin hope not. One, Obama’s his own worst enemy and best advertising for whatever mediocre candidate the repubs come up with 2012. I’m still hoping we’re not left with Palin by default. Two, Joe Biden.
They can leave Obama for last, Matt, but start with anyone remaining in Congress who voted for Obamacare.
Anecdote: voting at my precinct in true-blue Saint Paul in 2008, I arrived at about 7:30am to discover a line stretching through the entire building almost to the exterior doors. I’d estimate it was almost 300 people, and it took a good 45 minutes to get through the line to the voting booths.
This morning, I arrived at about 7:40am to discover a line of…zero. There were five or six people in the voting booths, and I had my choice of two empty ones. The various election helpers looked bored stiff, and they’d only been at it for 40 minutes.
Our SecState is reporting strong turnout, while Ramsey and Hennepin Counties report average turnout or worse. I can only hope this means that all my hard-working blue-collar friends here in the urban core are sitting it out.
I’m not saying that my district is going to be anything but blue, but if the lack of enthusiasm I observed is any indication, I’d guess that the DFL’s performance is going to fall at least a few percent lower than anticipated. Per bh’s comment in the other thread: get your friends to vote this evening, since it looks like your
enemiesopponents largely aren’t.This has a guide to judge how things are going overall by how various house races end up. Goes by closing time. Scroll down.
This election is only the beginning. We know our point of view is shared by a lot of people, and we need to keep that out there any way we can.
No more compromise. No more pragmatism.
Outlaw!
I was voter 860 or so at around 2pm. I walked right in, signed my name, and voted. In 2008 I had to wait in a long line even in the middle of the day, and I saw more than one person who spent just enough time in the “booth” (rickety table with view blocks) to vote for Teh Won!.
I seem to remember that 2006 had more people as well, though the line wasn’t as long as 2008. I have never seen it this empty.
Obama is the greatest Community Organizer that conservatives have ever had since Reagan. Let him continue his wonderful work until his retirement Jan. 2013.
Hold hearings about all the activities of the underlings and charge them as evidence comes out. Let “The Won” defend them.
Mr. Drudge says Blanche is a goner – she’s Mary Lambert’s sister you know
that’s a fun fact I think
Drudge also says Feingold is Feingone.
That’s cheery newsw by me.
California will probably keep Boxer — and elect themselves a Carter-era dustball who hasn’t been politically relevant since the last time he climbed down off of Linda Ronstadt — but the rest of the country seems to have a hankering for change from Change.
Who’s making book on whether DC votes to bail-out California in a lame-duck session, as a parting gift?
I can’t judge the turnout based on my area as it is always light when I go at 2pm. One anecdote.
We use optical scan voting. When I went to my little stall/desk to fill out the ballot there was an elderly lady a couple over who asked for assistance from a worker with her ballot. In a fairly loud voice I heard her say “I want to vote straight Republican, how do I do that?” Made me smile as I did my straight R vote.
I also think conservatives should keep celebrating a minimum and start putting proposals out there to assist cutting the debt and balancing the budget. All we need is a change in consumer confidence and the market turns around (my guess is almost overnight). We’ll see declining unemployment numbers especially if Obama keeps running his ship into the iceberg and it becomes apparent he won’t be re-elected. I’ve always thought the one thing progs can’t understand is that anticipation and planning for the future (which includes being able to pay for it) is an essential part of the conservative makeup. America can be an economic juggernaut when people at every economic level believe they can get ahead. You can’t do that in Democrat run America.
*Drudge also says Feingold is Feingone.*
Aw. I’m holding my breath for Frank. If he and Reid are out, its like a political nirvana for me. Scumbuckets, both of them.
Gotta see this video: “Obama-Obama-Obama….O rly?”
First a paying gig, now a guest lecture. The gods are conspiring to keep me off the interwebs today.
I voted this morning at 0700. I got to the pooling place at about 0650, to become sixth in line.
By 0700 there were about 25 people in line.
This contrasts massively with 2008 when I got to the pools at about the same time to be about thirtieth in line, with about 50 in line by the time the pools open.
This is a huge come-down from 2008. I hope most of the people in line were Republican. Likely the case, as it was chilly outside, and it’s hard to get welfare recipients out of the crack-house on a cold day.

Nah. I have no problem sending Joe to Alaska, but it won’t do any good. They have internet connections up there.
6 pm est
RTO Trainer, was thinking more along the lines of Igloo coolers and Miller.
we never had a very good discussion of all the california propositions so I have to figure it out on my own
19 – yes on marijuana yes for freedom!
20 – redistricting – yes – this will make the redistricting more salubrious
21 – no – they want my monies for stupid parks – they cannot has
22 – yes – this says that the state of California is free to rape and pillage local California communities for their monies – you never know this might could help postpone judgment day
23 – yes – this tells the global warming pansies to fuck off – meg whitman says vote no but me I say vote yes
24 – nonono – the dirty socialists are trying to rape business while the unemployment, it is so very high
25 – yes – this says we only need to have a majority to pass a budget instead of 2/3 (except raising taxes still needs 2/3).. this is sensible and also a fairly normal way to go about the budgeting I think
26 – yes – this makes it harder for California to jack up fees
27 – no – another redistricting one but this one is trickery
The problem with a simple majority to pass a budget is that in a Democrat-dominated state, they will continue to pass budgets they cannot pay for. A 2/3 majority keeps them from doing that.
What are we drinking, folks? I’m usually a vodka guy nowadays, but I decided that since I spent this eve two years ago drowning my woes in Jack and Cokes, I’d rehabilitate that old favorite by (hopefully) turning it into a victory drink.
link
A 2/3 majority keeps them from doing that.
I don’t know Mr. cranky the status quo is robustly FAIL we have to try something else… we have to try – no promises… we owe this to the rest of America we’re going to go beg for monies from later.
But yeah this was the hardest one to decide.
You have a point, hf. California is already at the brink of failure. It might not hurt to try something else.
Benedick,
Tea toddies, pick your poison, would be great today.
As for me, it’s a pale high buzz caffeine drink and vodka, b/c my dentist won’t let me drink tea, yet. DEMOCRAT!
That’s ok, H.S. You’re not supposed to drink the tea anyway at this sort of tea party.
BTW, this is one of those days when I miss “Gut Rumbles.”
I imagine he’d have had some incisive comment on today’s crop o’ candidates.
Or, you know, toe porn.
okay, I’m counting on all of you to keep me updated tonight. I have rehearsal, but it’s “Costume Parade” so I can carry my phone around. probably.
Yeah. My son has wrestling practice until 7:30 here, so I’m going to miss much of the incoming results.
Hope it goes well.
I have to go vote for the marijuanas so I’ll miss a lot too
you know who probably needs a drink is Meg Whitman after blowing all that money on a crazy dream
163 million dollars. Good God in Heaven.
And the kicker is… her resume says she’s a “businesswoman.”
MSNBC is presently explaining how the Dems will hold onto the House. This is going to be fuuuuuun.
If the Dems hold on to the House, the pollsters were involved in a mega-conspiracy.
well, here’s my update.
The Left refers to “Tea Partiers” as “Tea Baggers.”
Given that a human jaw can press down at pounds per square inch, concentrated into teeth that present about tenths of an inch, we’re talking hundreds of pounds per square inch on a small amount of skin from which depend a couple of important jewels.
There can’t be too many people so trusting.
The whole “Tea Bagger” thing is perforce a complete myth.
I mean, I wouldn’t even trust She Who Must Be Obeyed that way.
Mr. Drudge is already calling it for Boxer but I’ll go vote for poor Carly anyway just cause of I said I would
it’s not that I think she’d be a good senator it’s just that Boxer is a fetid cooze
And she depends on those things.
(As it were.)
RTO Trainer, was thinking more along the lines of Igloo coolers and Miller.
I know. Just engaging in some wishful thinking.
I dunno…is CA at least in the margin of error? I don’t entiely trust pollsters political bent…
#54: I think the Tea Party wave ends at the Rockies.
CA, NV, OR, WA, will lively remain solidly stuck on stupid.

Of course, we’ll all be long dead by 2505, no matter what you read in “The Singularity is Near.”
hero!
Mr. Drudge found a happy story
Yeah, but they had a wake for his sense of humor several years back….
The fact that the Angle/Reid race is tied is a tribute to the utter corruption of the Democrat Party and the SEIU.

“Vote Merckowsky!”

RTO Trainer, did you know Joe back in the day, you know, in the service?
It all comes down to imperfect voters choosing between imperfect candidates with imperfect information. Oy vey
I might not remain awake much longer… I think it is my turn for the plague that has been racing around the kids schools and the neighborhood…argh. I’ll check in if I can stay alive, er, aware and if not, I’ll hope to wake to good news tomorrow…cough, hack, bleah… OUTLAW!
Races called for Coats and Paul already. Connelly and Baron Hill races should give a good idea of where tonight is headed.
I think watching Lisa slink off to whoreblivion will be the mostest satisfying part of tonight
I hope she sees the disappointment and shame in her family’s eyes and knows in her heart that she is made lesser in their sight.
Merckowsky, clearly in the pocket of big pharma.
barron hill losing with 27% in
Fox News is making a crap ton of cash on ads tonight.
#55: I fear you may be right. But no harm in dreaming, certainly no more harmful than voting for hope and change.
Oh. Wait…
we don’t have near enough people in office named Dino
It’s a travesty.
Tennessee’s turning even more RedState. It’s so bad for Dems here that they started forming their circular firing squad weeks ago, with TNDM chair Chip Forrester right there in the middle. Al Gore’s old District 6 House seat what he handed off to ‘Little Al’ Bart Gordon way back in the ’80’s was vacated; I’ll now have a real Mama Grizzly, Diane Black, in his place.
I’m drinking gin & tea, of course.
Remember when Fox used to clutter up NFL broadcasts with graphics of little robots fighting each other at the bottom of the screen? They should so resurrect that technology tonight.

I have mixed feelings about this, but for the first time in my life I voted a straight party line ticket.
Somebody put me some knowledge about turnout-the folks upthread in the “blue” states say that their turnout is low compared to 2008, but here in the red part of Jawja, turnout has been substantial (not spectacular, but healthy).
Does this indicate low turnout on the D side, or is it just a function of the weather?

But is he properly manscaped is my question
At 3:30, my polling place was busy, but only about 5 or 6 in line. Had to wait only about 5 minutes. Poll workers told me it was much busier in the AM: 20 to 30 minute wait from 9:00 until 2:00, or thereabouts.
Redder than red CA-41, btw.
so big gov’t is ok to do slow jenn just not fast. idiot.
jenn rubin = kathy parker with a matzo ball
I think if the Republican establishment hadn’t beat up on O’Donnell she would have won. They could have helped and they didn’t. I won’t forget that.
If Mike “Cap-n-Trade” Castle had been the GOP nominee and had won Delaware, and the Senate had been 50-50, Castle would have pulled a Jim Jeffords, I guarangoddamntee it.
Delaware was lost from Day 1.
if someone could link the ‘monty-python’ election night results that would be funny
i just had to run out to the bank and liquor store
and i had to pass three polling places and they were jammed
i heard on the local news this will be the highest turnout in mass. since 1990/ not sure if that’s good or bad [good, i think] i apologize for any later comments
# 93-that’s funny
I’m going to taunt and jeer at my lib friends and family on Facebook, back later.

Is it too soon for pudding?
Any word on Allen West?
Nothing yet on Allen West.
Watching MSNBC is hysterical.
If Reid falls and West wins, I would be pretty darn happy.
Ed Schultz is ranting about unlimited corporate money defeating Leftist candidates.
Making themselves dizzy from the spin?
I saw a shot showing West being ahead, but they didn’t call it, and that could have changed.
barron hill lost-fox
JD – True dat. Been watching MSNBC every time Fox goes to commercial. Hilariously, they can’t even celebrate the Manchin win in WV, recognizing (accurately) that while he may help the total D Senate number, he’s a threat to Obamacare.
Florida 22 County Results » 2 of 422 Precincts Reporting

Early but not a bad start.
union money not so much
Beilat over Frank would be pretty sweet. Remember, Frank holds personal culpability in the mortgage crisis by merit of having fought vigorously against reform of the CRA, leading to the overextension of the mortgage companies and leading to the initiating event of the current recession.
Newrouter – even better, before commercial MSNBC teased that they’ll have the AFL-CIO president on later to chat.
Benedick – screw Fox. MSNBC is priceless.
Barney Frank going down would be sweet…
Wait, I do not mean it that way, I mean Frank losing would be sweet.

The Senate will be close, but still in Democrat hands. If Reid is unelected (let’s hope so), Schumer will probably be majority leader.
G-d I hate him.
Think I’m already sensing the MSM pushback: “not as big as expected”
Has anyone seen the video clips of bh doing his dance yet?
Yeah, and the NRA will have been right to endorse Reid, if Schumer takes over as Senate Majority Leader. He’s a professional gun-grabber, and the mostest hated man the NRA can think of.
Schumer majority leader? That is like a male version of Nancy Pelosi. Except Nancy’s dick and balls are bigger. This might be a good thing.

Drat. And I was looking forward to two years of referring to “House Minority Leader Honey Stoner”.
Rand Paul can destroy the world economy, and just may do it. Laurence O’Donnell said so. MadCow is crazy.
I thought Obama was doing a darn good job of destroying the world’s economy already.
MadCow said Republicans are salivating at making the US default by not raising the debt ceiling, and sending the entire world into a depression.
Jeff and others – If you want to see the type of smug self congratulation by the Republican establishment that, if continued, will doom the party, take a gander at Commentary Contentions blog, where Rubin, Podhoretz, et al. are DELIGHTED by Coons’ win in Delaware. They did everything they could to make sure O’Donnell lost, then crow about being right that she couldn’t win. It must be hell for them to go through life longing for the approval of those who who despise them – and it sure as hell had turned them into a bunch of unmitigatedly smarmy fucks.
Gawd, MadCow is a smirking idiot.

Well done!
Podhoretz is dead to me. He’s a statist asshole as far as I’m concerned, as are the rest of those jackasses who beat up on O’Donnell because they were pissy that she beat their pet RINO.
Screw ’em.

Jeff – These are the same people who opposed Rubio until it was made quite clear that the party could expect NO support if it continued to do so.
I won’t forget that these spineless sycophants put themselves ahead of the interests of true conservatives/classical liberals and the nation itself. They need to be taught the same lesson the Dems are being taught.

I don’t live in California. So I really hope they keep Moonbeam. It seems like a proper punishment for presuming to tell the rest of us what we have to have in all the elements of our lives.
Oh, thanks!
Yeah, I’m 110 years old and prolly shouldn’t lift anything heavier than a beer can. But that doesn’t stop me from hitting the weights and running the miles, now does it ?
Sigh.
So. Is to too soon to hope that the Republican cauci, don’t reflexively choose to keep Boehner and McConnell as designated ledaership? They were in charge prior to 2006 as well and think that they should have been given a break from those duties four years ago.
that is an excellent point Mr. RTO
’cause karl the rover speaks for me and eddie gillispeshit

Jeff, I don’t disagree. But if we’re going to topple Rs, let’s not set our sights so immediately on Rs who are relentlessly balancing budgets and shredding government unions, e.g.
did Tancredo win the governings?
I’m not loving that and I don’t care if it makes me a bad person
Michigan is having a good night.
Hickenlooper wins? Is this the call in CO JeffG? I thought Tancredo was the front-runner?
I told Tancredo to get him some Rick Perry hair but did he listen?
And JeffG, is there some new reason for hating the GOP “establishment”, or the same motivations as before, only burning much brighter due to election night palaver?
i like how fox couldn’t fit tancredo on in their “win” for the statist

Hickenlooper won. Maes, the Repub, didn’t drop out. He got 9%. And Denver is just too liberal now.
But it’s really Buck that I’m most disappointed about. His challenger, the incumbent, ran as a rubber stamp for Obama.
Take that, the likelihood of Reid surviving (he cheated), the Murkowski move in Alaska, and the clusterfuck in California, and I’m not all that thrilled about the national elections.
The spin is already that the Tea Party wasn’t a factor.
I hope the GOP establishment chokes on a dick.

Oh, funny names interlude, in the ever-reddening Tennessee State House: Sheila Butts (R) beats Ty Cobb (D) in Bedford County.
California is such a disappointment. Boxer and Brown are both in.
did you know there is more than 8 million absentee votes out there? who the fuck is calling the vote when the polls closed 3 minutes ago???
Somebody said on Fox News the exit polls suggest Coons would have beaten Castle too.
Moonbeam Brown and Ma’am Boxer win; congratulations Californians, it’s y’alls ticket over the edge.
May God have mercy on your souls…
Moonbeam Brown and Ma’am Boxer win
where the hell are you getting this from???
sdferr is on the road to see the Shuttle launch tomorrow. I watched some returns after taking my wife out for our anniversary dinner and now am watching Dexter carve people up while checking in occasionally. The election is about what was expected, take the House but not the Senate. Much work remains.
Will the last republican in california tell a union thug to turn off the light please? ugh, that’s disappointing.

I’m pretty sure somewhere around 60 House seats is of the historic variety.
As for the Tea Party not being a factor, look at all the governors races that are net gains for conservatives. Upwards of 60 House seats. And add to that at least 3 Tea Party wins in the Senate — Ron Johnson, Rand Paul, Marco Rubio — and the spin is frankly ridiculous.
Well Darleen,
I’m hearing it on Fax, and have seen it at ACE’s site as well as citations on the twitter feed. I’m waiting for the CA secreatary of state’s page to load.
Don’t shoot the messenger! I’m just relaying what’s being said…
JAYSUS EFFIn KEERIST
1% of CA precincts reporting and Fiorian 49% Boxer 44% … the LATime is “predicting” based on exit polls… the only thing that counts is the actual votes, people!
Reed
there are at least 8 million absentee ballots… I voted at 6 pm…lines out the door and the box where absentee ballots can be dropped off was STUFFED.
If the exit polls were done in El-Lay or Frisco those are the gentried lefties and true blue. But get out almost anywhere else in the state and it is RED.
FOX called it for Moonbeam.
Don’t send Colorado any more Californians. We’re already fucked beyond belief here.
Ron Johnson, Rand Paul, Marco Rubio — and the spin is frankly ridiculous.
and Nikki Haley — who was smeared with great glee and gusto by the pro-womyn Left.
I care about the senate race, but otherwise am nothing but giddy at the prospect of California continuing to burn in a wildfire of political stupid.
JeffG
it is still just exit polls … and I seem to recall some controversy over the votes not matching the exit polls before.
I’m somewhat happy, but not completely.
A number of the old barons got re-elected (Frank, Boxer, probably Dingell).
I’d have been happier had some of these relics went down.
Darleen,
I’ll hold out hope that your state does something right. I’ll remain cautious.
Tragic we didn’t spray for Californians back when the outbreak was manageable.
The result: “Governor Moonbeam Junior”.
I understand Darleen,
I’m still trying to load the CA secretary of state page, but it’s understandably swamped. I’m aware that they are calling this based on exit polls, and that’s probably not very accurate in a close race.
Who knows? I can only go by what info is being presented so far, and am trying to get more accurate info.
On Fox they are saying a very large county near CO springs has not reported results yet, and they are thinking Buck may still pull it out.
karl the rover is selling the gop multicult stuff on fox
Bob
Polls closed at 8 … at the EARLIEST the votes won’t make it to the county registrar until 8:30 (I’ve worked the polls before. There’s paperwork to complete before shlepping the lock boxes to the county)
How the fuck can things be called prior to ONE vote actually being counted?
I (and many, many others) blame Californicators for the leftward slide Arizona experienced, starting in the early ’70’s.
karl the rover die with your fanboy bush
it’s like cod in de called at 8 est but not a word since then
RTO — Pre WWII, with money falling from Washington, the Party needed a way to soak it up. Clearly they should generate some new positions, but what? It was an exciting time, “Ma” Ferguson and the Light Crust Doughboys, James Allred, young men (mostly black) conscripted to build the State Highway system with hand tools…
At the same time, social affairs were tightening up. Word came from On High that lynching was Right Out; the Klan was instructed, forcefully, to turn their robes into bed linens and take up pinochle. But they still needed a way to keep the n–s in line.
When you have many problems, sometimes they start solving one another. Texas always had elected County judges, leftovers from the days when going from Texarkana to Dallas took a week and you might not make it through Red River County with your valuables intact. Towns elected their sheriffs; why not judges? And so it was. Their numbers swelled, augmented by people trading in white robes for black ones (figuratively; Texas county judges traditionally wear street clothes). Handy as all get out when a juke joint got raided and drumhead trials were needed, and the State needed the labor anyways…
As I’m sure you’re aware, they segued seamlessly into railroading people for minor traffic offenses. It’s not a bad system, really, but it could definitely use some new blood inserted into the Good Old Boy network.

Ric
Can we give California to Japan?
8% of the precincts Brown 49% Whitman 48% — and Brown wins???
You’ve reelected Babs, Cali. DIAF
As with the others, Darleen, I was just relaying what I saw on FauxNewz. I hope you are correct and that Boxer and Brown are gone gone gone.
But, considering the moonbat count in my state of birth, I won’t be holding my breath.
Darleen,
I guess it depends on where the 8% precincts are. If none of those 8% are in L.A., Marin, or some other far left stronghold county, then maybe that’s why they think they can make the call.
From what I’ve seen here in S.E. Michigan, inner city precincts are usually the last to turn in results. I always wondered why they could show states where the Pubbie was winning, yet call it for the Dem.
Big D: How about returning it to Mexico in return for tightening up on the border. Or Russia once had colonies there….
8.9% of the precincts
Fiorina leads Boxer by 48-46 *
it’s sad when 164 million dollars just doesn’t count for anything in America anymore
– Yes, well, we always have to sit and watch the “early returns”/exit poll scam of the Dems. There’s absolutely no proof that skewing the early reports discourages conservative voters for the Dems, but they always do it anyway. (Early returns are almost exclusively from inner city population centers which go >80% Democratic. Later returns are suburban/rural and just the oppisite.)
Brown leads Whitman by 3,000 votes *
Now Whitman leads Brown by 3,500 votes *
More like selling it to China in exchange for outstanding debt.
FOX called it for Boxer.
RTO: I’ll trade Cali for chips…
Fiorina leads Boxer 49-45 now.
I heard 19 and 23 failed – 23 was the one to stop being so gay about the global warmings
I think Buck could pull it out here. Toomey in PA could pull it out. Nevada and Alaska are what I’m interested in. They’ll show us just how the GOP establishment fucked the Tea Partiers.
Jeff
I don’t care WHO is calling it. Until my vote is actually counted, I don’t give a fig about exit polls.
Supposedly Brown and Boxer both win over 5 points each? Explain how Fiorina and Whitman are both leading right now with less than 10% of the precincts reporting?
and those 8 million PLUS absentee votes?? Do they just get dumped in the shredder?
MacDonalds is now selling MacRibs, again.
Not that I just bought five and ate three, or anything.
I’M SAVING TWO FOR THE FAMINE THAT’S COMING, PHARAOH!!!!
As I prepare to go to bed, I note with sadness that the fears that drove us from California in ’91 have finally been realized.
Further… A majority Republican House is insufficient to do the heavy lifting needed in the immediate future.
The Democrats that are left are the bluest of the blue. Crushing taxation, onerous regulation, the straight politicization of Justice, IRS, FCC, eieio…
Death tax. Capital gains.
Congressional hearings take time. Weeks. Months.
Economies collapse in the course of a few hours. Especially ones that have been sabotaged with malice aforethought.
Pray for the Republic. The die is cast.
Boxer has now taken the lead over Fiorina with 11% of precincts reporting. This is see-sawing all over the place.
CA is a divided state. Urban is very blue and everyone else is red.
Grateful Dead : Uncle John’s Band @ Radio City 10-31-80
Now Brown is ahead of Whitman —
like a matchbox car my brotha
Ric, in Texas the “county judge” is the county executive. If that’s what RTO was asking about, Texas only has 254 of them for the whole state — one for each county. They’re not judicial officers at all.
Yep, I’ll trade both Boulder and Sacremento for chips…
The California horse race comments look a little desperate, Darleen. You might want to hold your breath a bit rather than leaving a long trail of frantic behind you.
John Boener is now rambling on FauxNewz. We’ll soon see how full of shit he is. Hopefully he isn’t, but it’s a tune I’ve heard before, and he was full of shit then.
Just seen on Twitter: If Jerry Brown wins, he’ll be the worst governor since Jerry Brown.

Just saw yourself off at the San Andreas fault and drift off, already.

I’m not desperate but I’m ANGRY. Why is my vote discounted because of exit polls? CA gets the fuzzy end of the lollipop every election cycle where the votes haven’t even been packed up when media is declaring winners and losers.
Hell, why should we vote at all…lets run this country by POLLS!

You set ’em up; I knock ’em down. Wouldn’t matter who said it.
McGehee: In our county, pop. ~30K, we have three of them right there on the ballot. Up ’til the last election two of the three were Democrats, who lost. On the rare occasions when the Commissioner’s Court meets as a body, they all sit around a table and take presiding in turns unless a newbie somehow gets elected, in which case he doesn’t get a turn for a while.
Texas is complicated. We unfortunately lost a good Texan when Allahpundit turned out to be a New Yorker; the right way to survive Texas politics is to be cynical enough, and few are.

Illegals have been voting here for 20 years, pdbuttons. How do you think Loretta Sanchez beat Bob Dornan?
Spiny Norman, you may have gained a mistaken impression.
We already have an elegant sufficiency of people who think Culberson County (look it up) should be curbed & guttered, with sewer in and all the utilities undergrounded, and are prepared to vote for somebody (else) to pay for it because that’s how we do it in California.
If you’re prepared to buy country property, set up a shooting range, and take your chances with the rattlesnakes and tornadoes, all you need to do is buy a hat and learn to do the accent. I presume you already have a pickup, but if not, be reassured that a half-ton is sufficient; you needn’t get a one-ton dually until you’ve settled in a bit.

so a mixed bag I guess
Yeah, and she made some really lame speech (in Spanish, natch) about how that Congressional seat “belonged to the immigrant community” and she “wasn’t going to let it be taken away from them”.

I’ll bet Reid cheated his way to this win. The polls had him losing. That’s all we need, another six years of that bastard.
ike the skeleton lost
just think if O’Donnell had been given 20% of the resources that the NRSC spent on that loser Angle hoochie
I think Buck will win now. Brady, too. I would very much like to see Miller and Rossi, but I fear Murkowski and some found votes in a Seattle deli’s freezer will prevent that.
And of course, if Reid wins, Nevada and California can take their 25% and 22% effective unemployment rates — and Nevada its world-leading foreclosure rates — and throw themselves a big ass pity party at one of the big casinos.
Fuck them.

As I was typing this, Reid was called in Nevada. I bet he cheated.

Who will be more smug about that fable, the Democrats or the Establishment GOP?
Madcow is crowing about the republican collapse and disaster in Nevada. lol
Olbergasm called her a hypno-tard, and Crissy Tingle accused her of being in a trance, and being hypnotized. Hairy Reed’s win is “disastrous”, a complete collapse of the Republican party, because they are racists.

Bill Richardson just claimed that Republicans are anti-immigrant, on the same day that they elected 3 Latinos to statewide offices.

Yup. The death knell is being sounded for the Tea Party.
Oftimes by “our own side”, such as it is. I’ve been reading the comments on Ace’s all night, and right after the media called it for Reid, the old hostilities came back to the surface. “Thanks a lot, fucking tea party purists – DE and NV were ours for the taking but you had to go and nominate the worst candidates in the world.”
Disturbing to see on a night that’s been a huge freakin’ success for Team R (and Team T), that, because the stars didn’t align perfectly some contingent of our fellow travelers instantly, instinctively form a circular firing squad.

Mr. cranky do you have a link to Alaska numbers?
Boxer was called as the winner, but the votes are still close. There is still some hope that she’ll be called Ma’am again.
did you ever go to the Jailhouse Cafe?
No, hf, I’m getting all my info from FauxNewz. It was something like 39% for the write in candidate (which could be a whole lot of people), 36% for Miller, and the balance for the Dem.
I think if I lived in Alaska I might have been tempted to cast a write-in vote for Joe Miller.
But any state that could keep re-electing Ted Stevens is capable of anything.
Cranky et al, I found similar numbers at ADN.com, website for the Anchorage Daily Nuisance.
Alaska official numbers tend to be here.

i heard from a reliable source [nanook]
that the leeza mukfuckski dropped whale blubber off
helicopters with her name emblazoned on them
and tasty salads
and gummy bears
she’s such a coke head power daddys girl bitch- i hope she loses
Deval Patrick winning a second term is sorta like Meghan’s daddy getting reelected.
Simply pathetic.
Yeah. The Tea Party did nothing to generate enthusiasm and turnout. If only we had listened to the same people who two years ago told us we’d be a regional party if we didn’t climb aboard the Hope-n-Change express.
Unbelievable. The fucking ESTABLISHMENT talked down Angle and O’Connell. They refused to tell Murkowski to buzz the fuck off. In short, they pouted when the rubes won primaries over against their wishes and their preferred candidates.
Some of these fuckers are dead to me.
here’s an interesting fun fact that is interesting and fun
wow just wow baby
#436-thank you happyfeet but my daddy always said
never eat anything bigger than your head
and that’s kinda one of my rules
#442: I don’t care to hear Rove say anything any more. I’m giving Krauthammer something of a pass for his part in it. Some of the people that advocated for pragmatism are coming around.
I expect my own “dead to me” list will grow with time.
Democrats in California go Chicago one better.
happyfeet,
I keep trying to post the Alaska link for you but the spam filter keeps eating it.
Just google these search terms

college-educated people
voting for Team R!!
Team R is gonna have to go shopping for new clothes to wear when they hang out with their new smartypants friends. Have to start reading books and stuff. Maybe rent one of the documentaries.
that worked perfect Bob thank you – tinyurl doesn’t work for me anymore when that happens
You got that right, Spiny. The Repubs would have taken the Senate, if it wasn’t for the Teabags.
Poor Mitch McConnell. He could have been the new majority leader, but no, because the Teabags had to have Sharron “mexicans look asian” Angle and Christine “not a witch” O’Dumbfuck.
The 60 plus pickups in the House are due to Tea Party enthusiasm.
Interesting that the senate, where you would think the dangers of gerrymandering are eliminated, tended more status quo than the rigged house races. Perhaps an example of that is how the Casinos and powerbrokers in Nevada when with Reid. Like they know they can do business with him…
You know, like that scene with Michael Corelone and Senator Pat Geary in Tahoe.
Mathews is making a complete ass of himself about Palin right now.
geoff you are there! I just saw your earlier message –
is this the last shuttle launch or something?
That’s sorta sad.
they went with Reid.
It’s his turn JD the union said they couldn’t swing the overtime for me anymore.
He’s consistent. That’s something, I guess.
Oh, Lordy, McCain is on FauxNewz. What a tool.
Oh, wait, he’s gone already.
UPDATE: 11: 39 – Buck opens up lead to 10,000! If Buck ends up ahead despite the Boulder shenanigans, and if he can win by more than 0.5%, then we could get unfritzed. (…and Tipton maintains lead with 79% of precincts reporting)
UPDATE: 11:31 – Tipton (R) still leads Salazar by 6%, with 75% of precincts reporting. They can’t call this already?
Pudding site updates…
Ryan Bacon is one of those cowardly sock puppet trolls. Fuck off. You got your ass handed to you today.
What the fuck?
Are you drunk?
No, JD, because we didn’t take the Senate, we actually lost. They have math that shows that, somewhere.
Ryan pork belly has shown his ass around here before.
sdferr is the one viewing the Shuttle. It is the next to last, probably. One tomorrow and another in April I believe. I’m in Michigan not Florida.
Looks like my representive will be back to being Republican as usual. The Dem 1st termer lost in Michigan 7 thankfully. Now I owe him a copy of the Kurtz book and Jeff G. a double contribution this month.
updated Alaska numbers
still looking dire
MSNBC will now take a moment to collectively rub one out while watching Hairy Reed.
I’m surprised that a single leftard would show it’s face here tonight. The PMSNBC types are paid to be in denial, but it takes a unique breed to be that stupid for free.
I’m rather pleased with the results though, on balance, I’d prefer a Republican US Senate.
Still, not more botoxed rictus as Speaker of the House; Ommpa Loompa (“orangey”) instead. Senate divided pretty much 50/50.
Were I a Republican, I’d be getting ready to investigate the DoJ, at least. At most I’d be saying “NO!!!!!! Hell NO!!!!!” to every single Democrat proposal.
yes you are in the same town as tony the tiger
Mr W – pay up, beeyotch. You owe Jeff G some serious coin.
Olbergasm just passed out. He is begging for nishit’s Sybian, but MadCow keeps fighting him.
We can hope that Granny Rictus McBotox will resign from the house, and that she’ll take some others with her. I doubt she’ll live with losing her majority position and free jet rides.
Reid on Fox right now. Barf.
Did Steny Hoyer win?
Hairy Reed might be the least inspiring politico in the history of the Republic.
Tony has been dead to me since 2008.
omg Tony is a whore
How Chrisy lost his tingle.
What makes you think she’ll give any of that up? I imagine they’ll have to pry the Speaker’s gavel away from her in January.
Ah! I see! Ryan pork belly IS drunk.
You are a fuckimg imbecile, pork belly. And a cowardly little sockpuppeting fuck. How do all of those nut sacks taste?
Run along, you have been banned before, and are just as tiresome this time around.
I find that having a strong sense of denial helps get me through the day.
MSNBC headline is Hairy Reed beats tea partier. That was the most important moment of the night. And O’Donnell lost. They should be embarrassed.
Obstructionists? Really?
Of course the minority Party is supposed to stand aside and raise no objections whatsoever… unless it’s the Democrats in the minority, then their unrelenting, uncompromising opposition is “principled” and “brave”.
Typical leftoid spin: when some tea party candidates don’t win, declare victory. What a maroon.
CBS has Tipton as winning.
Look, i know you guys like to imagine that every “leftard” is crying in a closet tonight, but that’s not the case. Right now, the left is exactly where YOU were in 2006 and 2008. Disappointed? Sure. But more angry and determined. We’re consoled by the fact that so many teabaggers crashed and burned, and that having an opposition instead of obstructionists will actually help Obama in 2012.
You pretended to be a conservative for days when you were initially here. Everyone laughed at you because you persisted in spite of being too stupid to pull it off. That’s why you should be reticent about being here now. Not just the election results, but also because everyone here already knows you’re an imbecile.
I ain’t cranky, I simply have no patience for unprincipled dishonest fuckers like you.
Which is probably why he’s the only troll to show up here tonight.
As a matter of fact, I’m cranky, dammit!
Goodnight, racists. Hopefully, I will wake up to news that Miller, Buck, and Rossi won close races.
Yeah, you sound cranky. I guess you’re pining for the loss of O’Donnell. Hey, i’m going to miss her, too. I had a sex dream about that little minx the other night. That hot little piece makes Sarah Palin look like Barbara Bush.
Reiterating a point Darleen was making 3 hours ago… I still don’t see how ‘they’ can call the race for Boxer when she’s leading by 1% with only 30% of the vote in, and god-only-knows-what in the absentee ballots.
…err, while I’m typing this they just updated to show Babs with a 49-45 lead, with 45% or so in. So maybe ‘never mind’.
—
And I really wish Fox would stop it already with the stupid “control of the senate” bar graph thing. They show 49 D’s plus 2 I’s that caucus as Democrats; that particular question was decided hours ago.
Anyone who doesn’t recognize what the Tea Party did for the GOP tonight is either a Yelverton-esque idiot, or a GOP establishment hack.
Governors, state assemblies, 65 or so gains in the House, and 6-9 Senate gains… and we’ve only just begun. When classical liberals/conservatives force spending cuts and bring this country back from the brink, the Tea Party is only going to grow stronger, provided they stay on message. Liberty is inherently bi-partisan, as the huge swing from independents suggests.
And if not the Tea Party, it’ll be some other movement that believes in the same things who will carry the message forward.
…the Tea Party is only going to grow stronger, provided they stay on message.
You said it.
As much as I would have love to have seen him fall, Dems may regret that Harry Reid won.
they’ve put the primary challenge fear of god into a lot of Team R losers, Meghan’s daddy notwithstanding
That will bear fruit.
can you do that up is down thing you do?
it can also forbid the sale of scenes “of gratuitous torture of children” in a video game?
I want to know where Breyer’s buying his video games, ’cause I can’t think of a game that lets the player commit acts of violence against children. The publishers tend to shy away from things like that.
Which is really a shame. Mayor MacCready and the rest of those little bastards in Little Lamplight were just begging for some NukaGrenade action. “Mungo” this, asshole!
I’m gonna get this sucker to 500.
Okay, here we go.
Chris C’s pollster, Adam Geller: Tea Party = net loss for GOP.
Dude’s been eating too many butter sticks.
The reckoning has only just begun…
Without the Tea Party, the GOP will die, and rightly so.
No shit, the Democrat pollster had to set the GOP hack straight on the effectiveness of the TEA party.
This world is CRAZY…
Gee, my big one vote for Meg worked well. Oh look, leftists anyway.
zeus’s flabby tits…
Can we put up a proposition next time to repeal people, in general?
2010 Stopped the bleeding.
2012 Starts the healing and repealing.
We’re consoled by the fact that so many teabaggers crashed and burned, and that having an opposition instead of obstructionists will actually help Obama in 2012.
You are consoled by the fact that ignorance is bliss.
Still, not more botoxed rictus as Speaker of the House; Ommpa Loompa (“orangey”) instead.
Is Boehner a slam dunk? It sure would be nice to give someone who isn’t a proven loser a shot.
Grayson is getting demolished in Florida, and West is cruising.
Unfortunately Wasserman and Hastings are both winning easily, also.
Shocking results of 2010
Fox Party Wins!
Feel free to examine Penn. Senate, governor and control of the state legislature, both house and senate.
Sweet!
CNN is declaring Murkowski the leader by assuming all the write in votes are for her.
http://www.cnn.com/2010/POLITICS/11/03/senate.alaska/index.html
The beat goes on.
One has to cross the Atlantic to get the unvarnished truth.
After much study and consideration, and attempting to divine the intent of the voter, they’d probably count it for Mercowsky.
The trouble with the Senate quest this time around was, most of the Senate seats that were up in 2010 were already held by Republicans, meaning less opportunity for gains.
Take a look at the layout for 2012, though. Harry Reid might wish he had lost.
Sorry, Marco Rubio is not a Tea Party candidate. The Tea Party supports him, but he ran as a Republican and won as a Republican. In his victory speech, the words “Tea Party” are not to be heard. What was to be heard, though, was remarkable.
The guy is pretty amazing to watch. He’s got all of Obama’s inspirational public speaking skills, but without the self-importance; the overly inflated sense of one’s importance in the scheme of things. It’s really NOT all about Rubio, nor is it all about making the other guys wrong just so that we can be right. It’s about acting rightly, and inviting others to also act rightly. It’s about taking responsibility for one’s life and one’s actions.
Thank God someone’s saying these things. I hope this guy turns out to be just what he appears to be. And if he doesn’t, well, we’ll turn right around and replace him.
Ugh. HTML-fubar.
crap … what a lousy morning for me. I not only got Brown as Gov, I’ve got Gavin Newsom as Lt Gov and the AG is still too close to call …
the only thing that came out well is in the propositions that the drawing of congressional districts is no longer with the politicians …
I’m waiting to see a county voting map because I swear, it’s the Frisco/LA nexus that is driving the rest of the state.
Slart
face it, if Rubio lost everyone from HuffPo to MSNBC to NYTimes would have put it in the “sneer at the TEA Party for backing extremists” column.
They are spinning like tops trying to stomp out the TEA movement, regardless of everyone from Allen West to Nikki Haley.
It’s kind of lousy here in Massachusetts too. We put the same old idiots back into office (including Barney.) I feel like Charlie Brown at Halloween.
Alan Grayson getting his ASS kicked wasn’t any kind of surprise to me, but I was comforted nonetheless. See, his district here is just about evenly divided between Democrats, Republicans and Independents. Piss off one and a half of the latter two, and factor in light turnout in the D electorate, and that’s what you get.
The fact that he’s pretty much a ball of self-aggrandizement held together mostly with bits of Michael Moore’s earwax and Oliver Stone’s used dental floss didn’t help, either.
Get caught in a series of campaign lies so vile and egregious that the Orlando Slantinel gives you a public ass-kicking, and you’re going down.
I think what happened, here, is the Democrats badly misjudged the motivation behind their return to power in 2006 and 2008. They took it as more of an endorsement of their ideology than disgust with Bush administration stupidity, and decided to try and ramrod through legislation that was as critical to the economic recovery as the healthcare legislation, while saying things nearly guaranteed to get entrepeneurs and existing businesses stuck in full-on, head-in-legs-in turtle mode. And then they wondered how they could force a restart of the economy.
World-class bumblefuckage, is what it was. Maybe they’ll learn something important, here. If not: I hope you have enjoyed your one turn at bat, Mr. President.
And Republicans, they should be doing some navel-gazing as well. If history is any guide, though, that’s not going to happen. Instead, they’ll take their victory as an endorsement of their way of doing things, and…hey, where have I heard this story before?
Darleen, I do not look to HuffPo et al for cues to guide my thinking. That way lies teh crazy.
Pelosie should take solace in that fact that the American voter has helped her drain the swamp. We didn’t get it all done, but we certainly did a better job than she did.
Face it: the Tea Party movement can only do so much. Corrine Brown is, after all, once again re-elected to the US House of Representatives.
One ray of hope is that the Florida Constitutional amendments regarding redistricting look to have passed, and they absolutely forbid district-drawing along racial & cultural lines, and also require a certain degree of compactness. So Rep. Brown’s days in the sun are numbered, perhaps.
The Republican majority in the state legislature is now very, very strong.
Jonah Goldberg has something to say to Nishi.
From the Corner:
Over sixty house seats to the GOP. Allen West won. Obama’s senate seat fell. Yeah, things went okay last night.
A first step on a long road.
Unfortunately, no one under the age of 40 in CA remembers Moonbeam from his first time around. And the Looniest lefties have gravitated to the urban coastal areas (OR has always been hippie land)
I’m just aghast.
If you look at the map (zoom in an CA) you’ll see this state is split down the middle — the blue is confined to coastal areas and the rest is red.
They may not remember, YET THEY VOTED FOR HIM. It really just defies understanding.
As a Michigander, I can feel your pain. Hopefully we’re going to start healing up here, but I understand. We’ve been the laughingstock for YEARS. It’s nice to have some of the pressure off.
So the race is on… who will go bust first, IL or CA? And when they turn to COngress with begging bowl out, they will get nothing.
I am sure now that my state income tax will go up at least 33% (the gov wants it even higher…).
Michigan was similar – not a line, but much of the outlier of the state was Red. Blue existed in Detroit, Flint, Ann Arbor and the yuppie-rich burbs.
You know it’s funny. Because California is like Detroit. Different but the same. Both are what happens when liberals run shit.
California needs summa this.
It’s an inconvenient history, and best avoided. That’s my guess, anyway.
Me, I think most of California’s problems lie in the state legislature. I don’t think it’s Teh Governator that had them hemorrhaging money, was it?

We have the most gerrymandered state legislature (and thus Socialist) in the nation. That’s why its taken two election cycles to get a citizen panel in and empowered to redraw not only state, but congressional district lines.
Indeed, the politicians tried to kill the citizens panel completely with Prop 27 (handily defeated — one of the few nuggets of hope).
When only terms limits got someone like Sheila Kuehl out of the state legislature, you know this state has too many Leftwing moonbats.
and Maxine “No Justice No Peace” Waters was reelected to Congress again. SHEESH.
Speaking of reelected scum, get a load of Congressman Elmer Fudd’s victory speech.
No surprise there, Darleen. Incumbent in a heavily gerrymandered district is just about a shoo-in. I don’t know that Max Waters has ever gotten less than 75% of the vote.
Corrine Brown won big, too. No mystery there.
That Barney Frank, the
definitionantonym of class and grace.I’m wondering if Marco Rubio is
insufficiently duskytoo Republican to be considered “nonwhite”.I get the msnbc crowd mocking the tea partiers. Out of fear. But why do so called conservatives and establishment GOP types mocking the tea partiers. Could it be out of fear too?
Yes.
Carin – nishit is out trying to find new batteries for her Sybian. And trying to come up with a new meme.
Hopefully the messages here will be something like: Dismissiveness and contempt as debating tactics = fail. Ignoring the wishes of a substantial proportion of the electorate = fail. Going out of your way to actively alienate substantial chunks of the voting populace = fail.
In summary, pretty much all of nishi’s intellectual arsenal = fail.
But probably no one’s going to notice that.
But probably no one’s going to notice that.
Not until people actively make fun of them. Humor works a thousand times better than anger, especially with the kind of people we’re dealing with.
What’s proper eeeeevil Reich-wing protocol for electoral celebrations? Should I light my victory cigar with a $100 bill or a live kitten? I’m unclear on this…
Earth – you should light a blue-hair’s head on fire, and while pushing them towards the cliff, light your cigar in the flickering flames, then push …
Earth or Darth. I am not real bright. Team R had a big day in OH. Congrats on Kasich. Now you need to do something about that fucker Sherrod.
Let’s compromise, JD. I’ll do as you suggest, but light your cigar with the $100 bills we took from the bluehair’s Social Security, then use our new jackboots to stomp the live kitten.
Not sure if Sherrod Brown is up in two years or four. At least Weepy Voinovich is gone. Now we have to deal with Burbly Boehner. Hope he’s not just talking.
Here’s a sentence that just doesn’t sound right, “She’s down at the High School working the polls.”
I said it about eight times yesterday. Every time I said it, I giggled.
Reminds me of this.
Darth – I keep my jackboots polished and close to my bed. I cannot start a day properly until I feel the crunch of a woman/child/minority Under the heel of my jackboots.
I am lighting up my cigar with carbon credits. Oh I set the brush in the vacant lot down the street on fire too.
