Official 2010 US Election Thread - S D 53 R 47 - H D 192 R 243 (At 9:17 AM EDT)

John Hoeven already projectedup in ND. Not too surprising.

Just confirmed that Republicans..... have won the house. Maniacc1

With 14% of the vote in, Giannoulias (D-IL) leads big... but that's mostly thanks to Chicago.

GabuEx

Yeah, I saw that. I do think he'll pull it off, but obviously not by the numbers he's leading by atm.

C'mon Dems....only a few more seats to hold the majority in Senate.

Eliot Cutler (I-ME) is currently in the lead with 3% of the vote in.

Where the heck did that guy come from?

Rand Paul making speech. Confirming all fears that he will gridlock the Senate. Establishment beware, he is no rose bush, just a thorny vine.

Quote Rand Paul: "Freedom is best when it is enjoyed by the most."

As a minority myself, I am very concerned by that haunting quote. What does that mean for the few? Scary...

No cuz he was born in Keny er Palestine.

The Dems will almost certainly keep the Senate, which, as the GOP will almost certainly take the House, we're in for some major gridlock.

Such a bizarre election cycle. The Democrats are getting creamed in the House, but they're doing surprisingly well in the Senate. I don't know what to make of it.

27% Reported SC.

SHEHEEN LEADS HALEY FOR SOUTH CAROLINA GOVERNOR! YES! :D KEEP IT UP DEMS AND SANE REPS!!!!

Also, please for the love of all that's holy do not let Walker win! D:

I'm very pleased how Vincent Sheheen has maintained his lead.Travo_basic

That's real bipartisanship. There is no way he'd be leading if Republicans voted for Haley. All I've got to says is I'm hoping against hope that the Republicans voted for their own self interests.

"wat" moment of the night: Sestak (D-PA) leads 57-43 with 19% reporting.

Is this yet another last-minute Sestak comeback?

OH GOD! Anyone but Boehner! D,=scorch-62

I'm hoping that Paul Ryan gets Speaker or Tea Partiers vote in Bachmann. Paul Ryan would pay in bipartisanship whereas Bachmann pays up some SERIOUS political capital for the Democrats.

Regardless who it is, if it is not somebody like Ryan, Democrats will rally and hang them out to dry.

If you don't understand my post then I can't explain much beyond that for atime in this country when Freedom was enjoyed by the most it was to the detriment of the least.

Michael Bennet (D) out ah770ead of Ken Buck (R), even though the last polls iv'e seen had Buck slightly ahead. Interesting. Hickenlooper is looking on track to win too.fidosim

Thank God.

Republicans could win 70-80 and I'd still be happy if Tancredo lost.

GOP cheering the defeat of Grayson and Perriello. *sigh*

Hickenlooper's at 57%; how do you figure that?

OMG the Greens could spoil SC-GOV race for the Democrats. *WTF* Why would you through away a vote for an executive seat on a third party :(

You have no clue how perplexed I am by people who vote for non-viable third parties.

[QUOTE="GabuEx"]

[QUOTE="fidosim"] If Dan Maes had left the race, he probably would have won. It looks like he is doing a bit better than the last polls had him at, which is bad news for Tancredo.fidosim

Hickenlooper's at 57%; how do you figure that?

I'm not so sure. Exit polls point to a pretty comfortable Hickenlooper win.

Well the only thing that makes them non-viable is that nobody votes for them... :P

Sestak still up 53-47.

Wow.

Watch_My_6

Look up Paul's views on the Civil Rights Act of 1964, in particular watch his interviews on the subject. Especially about the parts that involve businesses and segregation.I'm not just 'injecting race' into the issue like Limp said. I told him I didn't want to explain because it might derail the topic. Paul has said things that doesn't make me comfortable with him being a Senator. I group him with people like Demint, except he isn't necessarily a bigot, just an ideologue.

Do I need to explain anything else to you all?
