It is my birthday today, so I get to post the live thread. :)
Some places to watch:
Politico SenateReal Clear Politics
Already 365,000 votes counted in Montana. In the Presidential election 494,000 voted. There can’t be more than 100,000 votes left and Tester would have to win those by 8%.
Rosendale is favored.

We should take wasted GOP votes in Cali and move them to Vermont and Delaware.
How old are you? In 2008, following their gains in 2006, the Dems wiped out all the remaining House gains we won in 1994, and we ended up at D-235 R-199.
A lot of people were saying then that we may never have a GOP House again. Obama -- an avowed Socialist -- was elected POTUS that year.
A scant two years later, we had an historic takeover of both houses of congress.
So while a win tonight would definitely be better than a loss, this loss is not permanent. So please put away all sharp objects until you regain some historic objectivity.
Hogan, 56%, MD GOP record?
He won Charles county by 20 votes, loses Montco by 10 points.
Laxalt loses in NV.
Lamont ahead in CT.
Looks like it will be 27 R 23 D in Governors.
Rosendale is now over 8000 votes ahead of Testor. He is slowly inching ahead at this point.
Make that with Rosendale having a 8600 vote lead.
>>He is slowly inching ahead at this point.<<

We’ll accept the inches as long as it’s going forward.
LOL
Very glad to see he’s hanging in there!
Great news regarding MT. Looks like McSally will win in AZ as well. She’s up by almost 15,000 votes with 97.7% of precincts reporting. Repubs should have 55 seats after the MS special election.

Didn’t notice, we lost OK-5. OKC. Not on the radar.
Black people.
True, but we have witnessed some historically GOP seats flip tonight and I find that concerning. Texas 7 has been republican since I can remember- at least 50 years. I was in Houston over the weekend and it has really become more like San Francisco in a lot of ways. The wealth and expense of housing is over the top. The 1500 square foot bungalow I grew up in recently sold for over 900k (and it’s not that great) and taxes on it top 17.5k a year.
I live in Georgia district 6. Another traditionally red district that fought off Jon Ossoff last year. We lost last night. Our district is affluent and becoming the land of limousine liberals.
Billy, the 17th amendment has been as disaster, the founders were a lot smarter than you. Give it up.
208 R if all leads hold. So many razor thin losses. We could have won this.
208 would be the largest R minority since 1931 (won 219 on election day but lost some specials after people died and ended up with like 215 or so).
Rosendale lead was cut to 5,095. the chatter is that Tester will pull this out.
It will be closer to 205 Reps. The biggest Dem gain (~37) since 1974. But we can’t call it a wave.
Brown wave, overflowing toilet.
That is a bummer. What a shame. So many races we should have won. Even in SC, the woman who won primary to unseat Mark Sanford, lost to the Dem in SC1.
