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.

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.
 
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...

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.
 
+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.
 
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.

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

Historic, really.
 
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in addition to same-sex marriage (gee, can't they even be separate but equal?), it's very nice to see that voters have repealed South Dakota's draconian abortion ban.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.

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

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).
