Considered it didn’t take them long to announce, that means it’s going to be a very bad, bad night for the Dem’s.
What’s the call based on?
With <1% of Precincts reporting:
Senator Dan Coats (R) - 49.9%
Rep. Brad Ellsworth (D) - 45.5%
It has not been called yet officially has it? What tv show? Fox News or CNN has not called them yet. In fact, they have it at 1 percent so far.
“Pundit Press”? hmmm
woo hoo!
Excellent!
EXIT POLLS:
IL 49-43 Kirk [R] ... KY 55-44 Paul [R] ... NV TIED...
Arkansas: Boozman (R) over Lincoln (D)
Ohio: Portman (R) over Fisher (D)
North Dakota: Hoeven (R) over Potter (D)
Wisconsin: Johnson (R) over Feingold (D)
FROM DrudgeReport
Coats has been up by over 10% but since official polls don’t end until 8:00 pm they can’t call it yet (it’s straddling two time zones)
How can they make a prediction like that with 2 hours left at the polls?
CNN- INDIANA SENATE: Coats-R 50% (7,083 votes), Ellsworth-D 45% (6,455 votes).
Every silver lining has a dark cloud attached to it.
1 down 9 to go.
Early polls look like Indiana is picking up quite a few Republicans.
I don’t like seeing that NV Tied in Exit.
“Pundit Press” what happens when a RINO falls over on another RINO.
With 13,000 votes the error is:
1/sqrt(13000) < 1%
and Coats is winning by 5%.
So he’s a shoe-in ... if the 13,000+ votes collected so far are representative of the state as a whole. If they are overly Republican then he could be toast. If they are overly Democrat then he might go on to win in a landslide.
