The New York Times published these excellent visual representations of yesterday’s election results, including analyses based upon before and after polling. And they are pretty stunning.
Results on the 35 Senate races:
The Democrats won each seat they were expected to win, as did Republicans, including Louisiana, which will have a run-off on December 6th, as both candidates were under 50%. Of the 7 toss-up races, Republicans won 6, their only loss being in New Hampshire. Fifteen states held no Senate election. Net change of +7 for the Republicans.
Results on the House races:
Check out how the 18 to 29 year olds voted in the chart at post 4. Republicans are up two percentage points in that demographic over the 2010 election.
There’s hope.
Most of those young people have brains.
The blue in that region suggests the borders of a new West-Coastalstan that could liberate the saner counties in CA, OR and WA.
That detailed map isn’t accurate. MA is actually mostly red. The only blue in MA are all the major cities and the western part of the state. That’s how Baker won last night, he won almost every town but he also won a higher percentage of the cities than Republican candidates before him (going back to Weld).
Believe it or not.
Holy CRAP!
Look at northern NY. thats where people vote D because their GGG grandad has forever.
WOW.
I think it was Rush who said today, only Cook County in Illinois went for the losing Dem governor.
“Asian men and women will join the remaining whites and keep the conservative movement alive.”
That’s a fact.
Same as me.
I had just turned 18, and was able to cast my very first vote the year McGovern ran against Nixon. Naturally, folks in our age group hated Nixon with a passion, and our young skulls were too full of mush to know better.
Took me a while, but I eventually escaped the Dems mind control plantation. Yep - there's hope alright.
^The NY city DemoRats conttol the state legislature in Albany- Of course NY city went blue yesterday- while practically the whole state went red- This shows you the corruption political demoRat machine in NYC, the city of 30 million real sewer rats
In the '60s it was the greening of America. Today it's the graying of America.
God love 'em, that'd be my aged parents, who are still voting D like it's 1964.
Other interesting demographic breakdowns would be debt-savings, net taxes paid, number of sexual partners, religious-secular commitments, rural-urban, music habits, news source, tattoos piercings, and education and type (a BS in engineering is not in the same universe as a BA in woman's studies, psychology or urban folk dance).
What will happen when all us old White men die off?
All of you old white men I would hope taught your kids right from left.
That has to be difficult during the holidays.
Strange. Very strange.
Let’s hope Mrs Clinton got the message.
Debbie Dingell won John’s district by some 60% over republican Terry Bowman which wasn’t exactly unexpected but its interesting that a conservative UAW Ford worker actually challenged and took around 30% of the vote.
It was kind of funny watching the Fisher body heiress attacking the factory worker as being for the rich.
Bowman is the real deal too. He was a mover and shaker who played a big role in bringing RTW to Michigan. He’s still UAW and has no intent of leaving but says the unions need competition to become better themselves.
He testified against union political fundraising on Capitol hill a couple years back.

What’s black and white and red all over?
The American people.
And what exactly would be your complaint, sir? Please remain on the line and a customer service representative will be with you shortly to listen to your whining.
Not to worry.
If you look at the trend of age versus voting you see that the older people get the more likely they are to be conservative.
No big surprise there - just cements the theory that when you take a liberal kid of today, get them married, with kids and a job, wham o - you have a conservative.
Outliers abound, of course, but I think we'll be backfilled nicely.
