Race Tracker: Coleman MN-Senate, McClintock CA-04, Stevens AK-Senate, Chambliss GA-Senate, CA Prop 8
The St. Louis Conservative Tribune | November 5, 2008 | Self

Posted on 11/05/2008 8:55:03 AM PST by St. Louis Conservative

These are crucial races for us, particularly the senate races:

Coleman MN-Sen: Coleman leads by about 500 votes. This one looks like it's headed for a recount. How (or will) this change the outcome?

Chambliss GA-Sen: Chambliss is leading by 1% or so. He may have dipped below 50%, and if so, we're headed for a runoff.

McClintock CA-04: McClintock is leading by about 600 votes or so with 100% of the precincts in, but there are about 4000 ballots yet to be counted.

Stevesn AK-Sen: Stevens is up by about 4,000 votes, with about 40,000 absentee and provisional ballots yet to be counted. Can we expect these ballots to favor Stevens?

CA Prop 8: Last I saw, Prop 8 was leading by about 300,000 votes with around 97% in. However, that's only about 1-2%. Does anyone know where we stand here going forward?

Anyone who lives in these states or in CA-04, PLEASE POST UPDATES!

Frankly, I expect ACORN to find enough votes to flip all of these races. Apparently the law only applies to one side of the country. (and it is not the liberal side.)

Prop 8 is winning with about 400,000 votes statewide. The only county with uncounted votes that is a No on 8 county is Monterrey County, but there aren’t enough votes there to make a difference. San Bernardino and Riverside County still have nearly half of the vote still out, but in those counties the vote is in favor of 8.

A run off looks extremely likely in GA. Latest info Here.

You can expect Obama to be making a LOT of trips here over the next month to turn out his supporters in sufficient numbers to take this one. Whether Chamblis can get his dispirited voters back to the polls is iffy, imho.

49.9 Chambliss with 96% of the vote in.

Coleman up by 725 ( automatic recount)

So you’re predicting a Chambliss loss? What odds are you giving him? 15%?

Well, at least I’ve got a new rep if the votes, hold. McClintock!

Prop 8 passed.

Prop 2 passed yet 4 failed, what the hey???

Scary is Franken getting nearer to the Senate than the gallery.

With apologies to JK Galbraith: The only function of political forecasting is to make astrology look respectable.

Saxby pissed off the hard core Conservative base. Will they punish lyin' Jim Martin, or Chambliss? Who knows?

You can add Reichert - WA 8 to your list. My guess is that the thugs in King Co will find enough votes to push Burner over the top:

Candidate Vote Vote %
Dave Reichert (Prefers Republican Party)
69,627 50.32 %

Darcy Burner (Prefers Democratic Party)
68,746 49.68 %

Total Votes 138,373 100.00%

Ballots remaining to be counted:

King County: 380,730
Pierce County: There is just a - on the SOS web site - not sure if that means they are all counted or??

Other bummers in our state:

Candidate Vote Vote %
Christine Gregoire (Prefers Democratic Party)
864,302 53.52 %

Dino Rossi (Prefers G.O.P. Party)
750,542 46.48 %

Total Votes 1,614,844 100.00%

Initiative Measure 1000 concerns allowing certain terminally ill competent adults to obtain lethal prescriptions

Measure Vote Vote %
Yes
937,263 58.73 %

No
658,717 41.27 %

Total Votes 1,595,980 100.00%

Statewide, it appears that there are this many ballots left to count: 831,611 w over 300k of them from King County

I hope we don’t do a runoff in Georgia. Republicans never seem to win Run-off elections.

The GOP won the 1992 runoff in exactly the same circumstances after Clinton was elected. If BO comes to Georgia for the runoff, Chambliss will win.

Still would prefer to avoid a runoff.

“Republicans never seem to win Run-off elections.”

Not true, Paul Coverdell won in a runoff against Wyche Fowler.

That's right, and and in the ashes of the 1992 debacle, that election was the first ember of what eventually became the the 1994 Republican conflagration.
