[SWAMPSNIPER]

Republican candidate Dan Sullivan defeated Democratic incumbent Sen. Mark Begich in Alaska

[xzins]

I went down the list, so I could have missed some.

Senate Democrats are weighing plan to approve Keystone — and save (still exempt) Mary Landrieu

*If* she is destined to lose without the pipeline, I don't see approving it as making the difference at this point.

[Verginius Rufus]

According to Fox this morning, Begich is still refusing to concede.

[xzins]

Someone last night was adamant — Byron York maybe — that one of the lesson’s of ObamaCare was that you don’t push through these huge comprehensive bills. Period. He included immigration...which really surprised me.

I hear the current comprehensive immigration bill is 1200 pages long. Why in the world 1200 pages?

It’s insane. It says so much that any passable lawyer could make it mean nothing...or whatever he wanted it to mean.

[tanknetter]

Where’s Marc Elias? He’s the Dems go-to lawyer for recounting votes until the Dem candidate wins.

If he’s in Alaska, we need to be worried.

[Fresh Wind]

That’s great!

I thought for sure the Rat vote manufacturing machine would pull this one out.

[Cheerio]

The DEMONRAT PARTY is desperately trying to pull a Frankenstein rabbit of their hat in AZ CD 2. Latest report says there is only a scant 341 vote difference (out of ~220,000 total) between McSally and Barber. The DEMONRAT are trying their hardest to hold one of their latest state conversions from RED to PURPLE.

Youbetcha !

*APPLAUSE*

[grumpygresh]

Odds are that GOP would lose some seats in 2016, and I agree that it would be even odds to lose the Senate.

The best thing that can be done is to stop illegal immigration/amnesty and support voter ID. The 0bomunists are putting all their efforts in the opposite direction.

It might be reasonable to get Manchin-WVA to switch.

[servantboy777]

What does the makeup of the Senate look like?

Is it 45 / 55?

[sr4402]

Yeah, 30,000 votes and they are only separated by 8000. Some suspicious ones were found already.

So don't count your chickens till the eggs have hatched.

If the Dem wins, the US Senate is still Republican, but it would help to fend off the RINOs like McCain.

[kabar]

AP is the one calling the race for Sullivan.

[Engraved-on-His-hands]

Each pickup is important and helps to negate the possible problems with Collins, McCain, Graham, etc.

[CatOwner]

Right now, the Republicans have 52 Senate seats. Alaska would make that 53, and Louisiana could make it 54.

[KC_Conspirator]

eff yeah

[ScottinVA]

[tongass kid]

This is BS. What tribes, when and who paid them?

[tongass kid]

Joe has stated he will stay with the D, and King also will stay with the D.
