Holy shit. I can't go to bed.

This was Tom DeLay earlier in the day...

[fse]

I think Talent conceded.

 

[echoshifting]

Holy shit. I can't go to bed.

Same, I'm wearing out my refresh button.

 

[Zilch]

Well this turned out better (but with much less unintentional hilarity) than the 04 presidential election thread.

 

[Shard]

Holy shit. I can't go to bed.

Welcome to the last three major election years.

 

[Crisis]

Did Talent concede or not?

 

[sangreal]

Did Talent concede or not?

Yup

CNN switched away, but FoxNews kept on his speech. He conceded

 

[StoOgE]

read the faces of these guys on CNN.. Carvill is happy. Republican guy is pretty stonefaced.

CNN doesnt want to show anyone calling a race until they do. Thats why they cut away.

 

[echoshifting]

Did Talent concede or not?

Yes.

The latest update from CNN has McCaskill pulling wayyyy ahead.

 

[PantherLotus]

McCaskill Dem 908,386 50%
Talent Rep* 869,294 47%


88% reporting.

 

[Chichikov]

Yeah, McCain called their shit tonight on NBC. Fiscal conservatives ftw, social conservatives ftl.

It’s not even fiscal conservatism, it’s fiscal responsibility.
You can run a small government, you can run a big government, just make sure you can ****ing fund it.

 

[Incognito]

He conceded. I'm calling it now, Dems win Montana and Virgina and capture the Senate.

 

[ferrarimanf355]

Holy ****ing shit, with all the races completed, MSNBC is reporting that the Dem's gains in the house were a whopping 39 seats!
HSMP's avatar is pretty good for how I'm feeling...

 

[echoshifting]

He conceded. I'm calling it now, Dems win Montana and Virgina and capture the Senate.

Sure looks that way, the latest numbers from VA give Webb a comfortable lead!

 

[JayDubya]

Well this turned out better (but with much less unintentional hilarity) than the 04 presidential election thread.

Yeah, can't wait for the Official NeoGAF US Elections 2008 Thread.

 

[Gruco]

Gah, I got up early to vote this morning and should definitely be in bed by now, but watching Republicans get smacked around is way too entertaining and exciting.

Every day should be watch-the-Republicans-get-their-asses-kicked day.

 

[fse]

woohoo

 

[StoOgE]

He conceded. I'm calling it now, Dems win Montana and Virgina and capture the Senate.

CARVIL JUST CALLED IT. MOTHER ****ING YES!

SENATE BITCHES!

 

[PartlyCloudlike]

Jim Talent has just conceded defeat.

I shouldn't have skipped out on the MoveOn.org party at a local bar. I bet they're going crazy right now!

 

[MIMIC]

MSNBC just gave it to McCaskill.

Talent just conceded.

 

[Shard]

Sure looks that way, the latest numbers from VA give Webb a comfortable lead!

Oh and Missouri as well.

CNN now calling McCaskskill to win Missouri.

 

[castle007]

It is going to come down to Montana

 

[PantherLotus]

McCaskill Dem 912,815 49% Winner
Talent Rep* 876,078 48%

 

[Incognito]

+39?! Wow, I predicted +31 and thought that even that number was a bit optimistic. This gain is even more impressive considering the extent of gerrymandering and incumbent strength that has taken place over the last 10 years. Amazing, just an amazing night.

 

[thefit]

Cnn just declared McCaskill!

 

[Triumph]

CNN officially calling MO for McCaskill.

 

[StoOgE]

39 seats flipped in the House, Senate picked up by the Dems.

YES!

This is a much better night than I thought.

12K vote lead in Virginia now.

Im calling it. Its done.. good guys win.

 

[ferrarimanf355]

MSNBC just gave it to McCaskill.

Talent just conceded.

Back to even now, and Tester is pulling away in Montana, while Webb is up by 6,000 votes...

 

[sangreal]

He conceded. I'm calling it now, Dems win Montana and Virgina and capture the Senate.

Looks that way, but we won't find out for weeks

I hope Allen takes the high road and doesn't go for a recount. I don't think he really has a chance now even with a recount. Webb is really pulling away

 

[Diablos]

+39?! Wow, I predicted +31 and thought that even that number was a bit optimistic. This gain is even more impressive considering the extent of gerrymandering and incumbent strength that has taken place over the last 10 years. Amazing, just an amazing night.

Historic, really.

 

[scorcho]

aside from the disgusting trend of states banning same-sex unions in addition to same-sex marriage (gee, can't they even be separate but equal?), it's very nice to see that voters have repealed South Dakota's draconian abortion ban.

It looks almost certain that Democrats have completed the trifecta - a solid lead in the House, Senate and in State Governors.

[castle007]

Sure looks that way, the latest numbers from VA give Webb a comfortable lead!

hmmm, is 6000 votes a comfortable lead???? (serious question, because I have no clue)

 

[PantherLotus]

I think this is the biggest flip since Watergate.


Digest that.

 

[echoshifting]

hmmm, is 6000 votes a comfortable lead???? (serious question, because I have no clue)

It's pretty darn good with 99% of the vote counted.

It's up to about 12,000 now.

 

[thefit]

Webb is gonna take it! 50% to Macaccas 47%

 

[Flaming Duck]

Yay for Claire! Thank you, MO, for not disappointing me again!

 

[ferrarimanf355]

Someone needs to make a republicans.justgotowned.com webpage!

 

[sangreal]

wow, CNN has Webb up 12k

hmmm, is 6000 votes a comfortable lead???? (serious question, because I have no clue)

Yes, it is very comfortable if the last VA recount is any indication:

[StoOgE]

This presidents legs have been cut out from under him.

 

[Diablos]

It's pretty darn good with 99% of the vote counted.

It's up to about 12,000 now.

There will still be a recount, I bet. Lawyers are probably already all over this shit.

 

[Mercury Fred]

OMG!

I just got chills.

 

[ferrarimanf355]

Also, tomorrow, I'll be making a post about the Jesus-huffing neocon's bitching about the switch in power.

 

[Beer Monkey]

It's morning in America.

 

[GhaleonEB]

Webb 1,167,694
Allen (Incumbent) 1,155,950

cnn.com

Stick a fork in Allen, he's done.

now we just need Tester to hold on

 

[Matt]

Telling you guys, still too close to call those two House races in GA. The incumbent Dems are up, but barely.

Georgia 08
Updated: 2:02 a.m. ET
Full GA

Democratic Marshall
(Incumbent)
76,717 50% 95% of precincts reporting votes by county not available

Republican Collins
76,009 50%


KEY RACE
Georgia 12
Updated: 2:02 a.m. ET
Full GA

Democratic Barrow
(Incumbent)
69,991 51% 95% of precincts reporting votes by county not available

Republican Burns
66,604 49%

I just spent some time working it out. Don't worry, the Dems will keep both those seats (but only by about 250 votes in the 8th).

 

[Shard]

There will still be a recount, I bet. Lawyers are probably already all over this shit.

Oh yea, Virgina is well on its way to becoming the next Florida.

 

[MIMIC]

CNN has Webb leading by 11,744

 

[fse]

**** yea
