Speaking of McConnell and Grimes, did anyone follow up on that Grimes lawsuit complaining about McConnell's election fraud fliers? It was dismissed yesterday:

A Kentucky judge on Monday rejected a court motion filed by Democrat Alison Lundergan Grimes seeking an immediate injunction to stop Republican Sen. Mitch McConnell's campaign from sending out mailers that have the appearance of an official Kentucky notice.

The mailers, reported Friday by TPM, read "ELECTION VIOLATION NOTICE" and go on to warn voters that they may be acting on "fraudulent" information from the Grimes campaign. The tactic ultimately amounts to a creative attack on Grimes, although the mailers could create the impression that the voters who received them are at risk of committing voter fraud if they cast a ballot.

Franklin County Circuit Judge Phillip Shepherd denied the Grimes motion, spokespersons for the Grimes and McConnell campaigns confirmed on Monday.

I thought this thread had people who followed politics before. Everyone is going nuts over these fluctuations. Come on now.

 

[theprodigy]

I expected better from this thread as opposed to the other thread.

CNN is amazingly terrible. I can't stop watching

In 2002, Sununu lost all of Concord by 2,900 votes. Brown is currently down 4,000 in 8/10 Concord Wards. #nhpolitics #Election2014

fuck em

 

[RurouniZel]

I don't know what to believe!

Is Nintendo the U.S. doomed?

 

[B-Dubs]

A DEAD HEAT! (CNN title drop :lol)

 

[gcubed]

fuck em

where can he run next election? Can he continue up the NE coast?

 

[kingkitty]

thats marginally better.

Fox News is all out. They had Mitt Romney spitting some info. Karl Rove is typing wildly at a computer. Megyn Kelly showing great chemistry with this Bret guy.

 

[Manmademan]

i'm just waiting for PA governor tom corbett to get blown out. Local news was calling turnout in the Philadelphia area at "record highs" for midterms, almost presidential levels.

polls close in like...30 seconds

 

[cooljeanius]

fuck em

Just retweeted that myself

 

[PhoenixDark]

where can he run next election? Can he continue up the NE coast?

He should have run for governor or challenged Markey in a few years, I don't understand why he risked everything like this. Now he can't go back to MA.

 

[gcubed]

i don't live there anymore, but seeing Corbett go down so spectacularly is satisfying

 

[Manmademan]

MSNBC was calling Wolf the projected winner within 4 minutes of polls closing. This is going to be a fucking bloodbath it's gorgeous

 

[WayneMorse]

I was always expecting a 7-10 margin a victory for Warner.

 

[Orbis Tabula]

So how are the results so far comparing to expectations? Just about as bad as every one thought? Or worse?

Probably a little better... seems like a pretty mixed night early.

 

[gcubed]

its going to be a while until we really figure anything out. All the important races are too close to call early.

Hagan is going to win, Brown continues his role as loser, the rest are all still up in the air

edit.. Hagan is still "up in the air" as well... technically

If Republicans aren't winning in New Hampshire or North Carolina then if they win the Senate tonight it won't be by a 53+ seat blowout.

It's still very early in the night though.

Kind of a push at this rate.

 

[Kevitivity]

Things are going quite good actually.

 

[Orbis Tabula]

Thanks for the updates, guys. I'm stuck in class until 10, so I'm missing all the fun.

 

[Manmademan]

There aren't really any surprises, but i'm hearing consistently that turnout is higher than projected in a lot of areas, which is good for democrats.

They were never going to end up with more than 52 seats realistically.

i wholly expect you and Dick Morris to be the same person

Sure, Dick..

 

[Ecotic]

Yeah, I was just meaning that it's very early, but at least we can rule out a very bad night.

Governorships are going great.

 

[PhoenixDark]

Dick Morris managed to find a way to be wrong on the day his side is going to win. How is that possible lmao.

 

[kingkitty]

I haven't seen Dick Morris on tv in a while :/

 

[Aaron Strife]

Gee that seems like bad news for you then

Hagan might win by a higher margin than Warner. Bad news for Hagan?

 

[kingkitty]

goodbye Mark Pryor

another R gain

 

[Aaron Strife]

Looks like we're 1 and 1, PD.

What was the bet again?

 

[Aaron Strife]

What was the bet again?

AR, IA, NC

I predicted Dem wins in all three, he predicted GOP wins

 

[cooljeanius]

Looks like Muriel Bowser is winning the DC Mayor's race... why are there no decent photoshops combining her with the Bowser from the Super Mario games? I mean, she's been on the DC City Council long enough that you'd think someone would have done one by now...

 

[gcubed]

AR, IA, NC

I predicted Dem wins in all three, he predicted GOP wins

So all down to IA

And wait... CNN has quick hits on the candidates that win? Little puff promos? Ugh

 

[Buddha Beam]

At least there doesn't seem to be a big wave after all. Not that it'll stop the media from proclaiming a Republican wave tomorrow once they take the Senate.

 

[GPsych]

Pretty much no hope for Crist at this point?
