[Diablos]

I just cannot get over how badly Democrats fucked up campaigning this year.

 

[cooljeanius]

Holy fuck, Warner is going to lose

Hoping this is just Diablos Diablos-ing...

 

[Manmademan]

Holy fuck, Warner is going to lose

hmm? I'm not seeing any movement from that 7500 vote margin

 

[Gruco]

Running the table on AK, IA, and KS, runoff in LA, a meteor landing in Colorado that somehow contains 100,000 votes for Udall

I don't know the counties there very well, but yeah, CO is looking rough.

 

[dabig2]

Ouch at Colorado.

 

[Diablos]

Why is IA only at 7% reporting on NYT

 

[benjipwns]

AP calling for Garner in CO. Beauprez has a slight lead too.

 

[Manmademan]

warner has taken the lead in VA.

 

[gcubed]

I missed the real diablos, thanks for coming back

 

[kingkitty]

warner has taken the lead in VA.

playing it a little too close there Warner

 

[Diablos]

I missed the real diablos, thanks for coming back

NYT scared me for a second.

Fucking Udall is a clown. Rode the Obama '08 wave and did nothing to earn his voters trust ever since.

 

[Manmademan]

playing it a little too close there Warner

most of his votes are coming from a single large county that takes a long time to count. Come on now, you people aren't new

 

[PhoenixDark]

warner has taken the lead in VA.

It's a math game in Virginia, dems win once N VA comes in.

 

[Diablos]

most of his votes are coming from a single large county that takes a long time to count. Come on now, you people aren't new

I was just surprised at how close it was this late

 

[JesseEwiak]

So, what dumb things will enough Democrat's support that Obama will have to sign? I'm thinking TPP, some sort of corporate tax reform that mysteriously only helps large corporations cut their taxes, a repeal of the medical device tax, maybe CPI.

Or, maybe Obama will give into his radical Ayers and burn this mofo down.

 

[Gruco]

Yeah I am really surprised to see Udall so unambiguously get the boot after a single term in a state like Colorado. He must have been an abysmal senator.

Assuming Orman caucuses with the GOP, it's already over.

edit: Yeah, NoVA plays the same game in literally every Virginia election. It always "looks bad" until the 11th hour. Nothing new here.

 

[Sub_Level]

TX had a really close governor race.

 

[kingkitty]

most of his votes are coming from a single large county that takes a long time to count. Come on now, you people aren't new

no one expected the virginia race to be this close, you know that.

 

[smokeandmirrors]

We can only hope....

Comrade

 

[HylianTom]

1/3 of all voters in Virginia now live in the suburbs of DC. The margin is a bit of a surprise, but the outcome isn't.

I don't think Obama is going to go Bill Clinton. Clinton did what he did because he needed a legacy, something he could point to and say he did that. Obama already has that, for better or worse.

 

[benjipwns]

He might not get the chance.

Dana Parino was, that because nobody was polling it they had no idea.

And she's adorable, so take that.

 

[Tarkus]

Goodbye democratic control of Senate. PoliGAF showing its command of American politics lol speculawyer, RustyNails, hyliantom, APKmetsfan: 4 months ago, a Democratic takeover of the senate was imminent. Now, it's all over except the crying.

 

[Black Mamba]

So th enpolling was off a bit. Underestimated the gop

 

[Jooney]

what's the deal with the slow IA count?

 

[Ecotic]

My theory: Mark Warner is so damn quiet people thought he wasn't advocating anything on behalf of Virginia. I never hear anything from him.

 

[bananas]

So Rick Scott won.

YEP.

 

[dabig2]

So Rick Scott won.

YEP.

Him and Walker are both going to be here another 4 years. Why? I couldn't tell ya, I"m just happy I don't live in those shit states.

 

[Diablos]

what's the deal with the slow IA count?

No idea.

Honestly, that's just a bit uncalled for.

We only call out Diablos, Benji, and Metamorphic here.

Takeover?

 

[kingkitty]

Dana Parino was, that because nobody was polling it they had no idea.

lol I saw that too. Dana Perino is goat.

 

[thcsquad]

I'm still holding out hope for Kay Hagan because Mecklenburg County is still only half counted, but it's looking bad.

 

[Tamanon]

Hagan has it in the bag.

 

[PhoenixDark]

Getting that avatar ready for you, Strife.

Damn, guy who never posts in PoliGAF has a point. Can't believe APK & Co. got the call on the Dem senate takeover wrong.

 

[Averon]

Him and Walker are both going to be here another 4 years. Why? I couldn't tell ya, I"m just happy I don't live in those shit states.

Some states seems to be gluttons for punishment.


BTW, how is Fox News tonight?
They must fuck ecstatic tonight. It must be a complete 180 compared to two years ago.

 

[Diablos]

Is Aaron okay, lol?

 

[Tarkus]

Takeover?

Yeah, so that's what 4 bourbons do to you. Control is what I meant

Damn, guy who never posts in PoliGAF has a point. Can't believe APK & Co. got the call on the Dem senate takeover wrong.

I'm a chronic lurker.

PS...I laughed inside when they considered that Nunn would beat Perdue in GA

 

[Diablos]

MD governor going to the GOP?

 

[Aaron Strife]

Getting that avatar ready for you, Strife.

Good to know.

 

[HylianTom]

Damn, guy who never posts in PoliGAF has a point. Can't believe APK & Co. got the call on the Dem senate takeover wrong.

*snicker*

I think my most prominent position around here has been essentially, "c'mon! Let's kick-off the 2016 festivities already!"

 

[dabig2]

MD governor going to the GOP?

Yeah, what's going on there?

 

[Yoda]

To be honest what would it say about the Republicans if they couldn't do well in this environment? 6th year of a democratic incumbent and a majority of the states in play are red states. Had they had not sweeped this then we'd essentially have a 1 party system if we didn't have gerrymandering.

 

[bananas]

Do you guys think we can expect this going forward?

Dems dominate presidential elections, GOP dominate midterms?

Are we destined to have 20 years of Dem controlled WH and GOP controlled Congress?

 

[B-Dubs]

Looks like Warner is going to pull it out and that Hagan margin is sharp enough to cut deli meat with.

CNN still hasn't called Florida.

 

[Orbis Tabula]

Yeah! You tell those four people that are apparently the only ones in PoliGAF!

 

[kingkitty]

so much for that Kansas strategy

 

[gcubed]

Dems will have control of senate in 2016 but still no house so it won't matter (and no super majority anyway). House isn't in play for a long time, so it'll be split for a long time

 

[Black Mamba]

Orman to lose. Yikes. It looks over.

Thank god I live in California
