Ugh, Colorado. I moved here a year ago from crazy ass Texas to get away from the right wing psychopaths and it looks like the state is going red. Hickenlooper better be able to pull this off. I think Udall is probably a lost cause.

Jesus, VA really does have a margin tight enough for Wolf Blitzer to shave his beard with.

Crist is closing the gap, he might have it depending on how the final 3% fall.

So, Scott Brown's next step is to run for office in another country right?

Has to be somewhere he can drive his truck to. Scott Brown, Costa Rica's Best Choice.

I think the road stops at the Darien Gap in Panama... Makes sense as a place for him to run, considering we colonized the place...

I'm giggling at freepers concluding that NH's 4EVs are forever lost. They're blaming it on NH becoming "a suburb of Massachusetts."
 
Have fun, Florida.

Meanwhile, I'm going to enjoy another 4 years of being a testground for the GOP's national policy proposals. Yaaaaaay tax cuts to infinity. :|

I guess people down in Florida like party turncoat opportunists less than medicare fraudsters.

Also, looking forward to hearing why Scott Brown should be the next senator from the great state of Maine, of which he has deep ties. I heard he stopped there for gas this one time.

Cannot believe Scott got voted back in in Florida.

I better not hear Floridians whining about how terrible Scott is over the next 4 years.

Now I'm worried about Warner in VA.

Could we be seeing a 53-47 GOP Senate? If so, the Dems would have to run the tables in 2016 to regain a slim majority.

Warner is down 7500 votes, but fairfax is only 70% in, and it's going to be the last one to report. There's a million people there, it's democratic, and he's currently winning it at 58%.

He'll take it in a walk but it'll be late.

Coakley up with 60%+ reporting. Definitely not what I was expecting. I don't feel strongly about the race because Baker is so moderate, but I'd kind of be happy for Republicans not to be able to point to MA and say they even put a "conservative" there.

What's the best case scenario for Democrats (Senate) at this point? Running the table on Alaska, Iowa, and Colorado, getting a runoff in LA?

I hope someone compares Coakley's totals with Brown's totals once the night is over.

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