Yikes, the totals in Yellowstone, Billings, have been erased. At least on CNN. The early totals were for Tester, but there are gone. Color me confused.
Gerlach moves ahead by 2,000 votes.
Excluding Gallatin County, if the rest of the unreported precincts vote exactly the same as the ones that have already reported in the same county then Burns narrows the margin by 1824 votes. That reduces Tester's lead to 3867 votes and the early votes reported out of Gallatin are essentially tied (8530 Tester v 8400 Burns) so yes, it seems to be all over but the shouting (i.e., the VA recount).
With nothing from Billings, nothing can be predicted.
BTW, my estimate is that the best Paccione can do now is to cut Musgrave's lead by about 4000, which isn't enough since she trails by 6500, so I call CO-04.
I just turned off FoxNews for the next 2 years. I will watch in 2 years when we take back the house. I want to see them lose.
OK, it looks as if the turnover list will be:
NH-01, NH-02, CT-02, CT-05, NY-19, NY-20, NY-24, PA-04, PA-07, PA-08, PA-10, OH-18, IN-02, IN-08, IN-09, KY-03, NC-11, FL-16, FL-22, MN-01, WI-08, IA-01, IA-02, KS-02, TX-22, CO-07, AZ-05, AZ-08, CA-11.
That's Dems +29.
There's still a distinct chance of Burner picking off WA-08 and an outside chance of Madrid taking NM-01. CT-02 might yet be salvaged. FL-13 and NC-08 are holds but go to recounts.
OK. Am I not clever for fingering Pombo or what? Burns is a real toss up I think.
I don't recall what the Yellowstone returns said before they went away, so I have no way to guess now..
Yes, good job on Pombo! I was a skeptic to the bitter end. :)
Tester was leading something like 8,200 to 6,500 or so, as a wild guess. Who knows where they came from. Maybe they were from trailor parks, where a Carville 20 dollar bill goes far.
New Hampshire is swiftly completing its transition to a true New England state. The N.H. St. Senate went from 16/8 GOP to 14/10 DEM.
Democrats also pick up the PA House, IN House, WI Senate, MN House (with a whopping 86 seat to 48 seat margin), IA House, and MI House.
The list is not exhaustive since many legislative seats aren't reported yet.
The GOP did score a 24-24 tie in the Oklahoma Senate.
No one's called it yet, but Sali is up in ID-01 50-45 with 94% reporting. I doubt he loses, personally, looking at the numbers.
Unbelievable. Ryan loses. Kline gets creamed. Moore wins by 30 points. What has happened to our state?
I don't know....it is the GOP conflict I think.
It's now 9:00 A.M. Thursday. I watched the Beverly Hillbillies this morning before work. Fox News was gagging me. Well, they were hyper gagging me, because they were already left leaning before the 7th.
Now, I'll just have to let Rush continue any rats I have left in me, I give up.
I meant RANTS. See what has happened to me? I see rats everywhere!
Oh man, you question the legitimacy of my contest, and my integrity, all in one shot! Actually, I won that contest. I had every race predicted accurately, just forgot to post them in that thread. (;-)
Hey, I wasn't so much questioning your integrity as your potential despondency. Oh well, I get just the bronze anyhow. C'est la vie!
LOL... Great job anyway
