LIVE THREAD: ELECTIONS 2006

[Dog]

Please Mods can we have one central Live thread ...its tough jumping from thread to thread to get results.

[Bahbah]

This should be no surprise to anybody.

Oh, I know. It was more heart than head speaking.

SANTORUM FOR PRESIDENT

I am in!!!

[cajungirl]

What?

Is Brit reading our thread?

[frogjerk]

really? the NJ call for Menendez has been retracted?

I thought I heard Brit say that the DIMS "hold" the seat.

[A Balrog of Morgoth]

3% of the precincts had reported in when Fox called Menendez.

[Terpfen]

You said it. They've called Nelson over Harris, but refuse to call Crist over Davis even though Crist leads Davis by bigger margins than Nelson over Harris.

[Virginia Ridgerunner]

Not all of PA, just the 'Rat controlled cities. Us rural folks gave it everything we had for Santorum.

[BlessedByLiberty]

I'm with you about the early calls - especially 0% precincts! Our polls are still open in CA so it's very weird to see results and races called.

[tflabo]

CHeney should step aside and be an advisor. Let Santorum be Vice-President.

[tiredoflaundry]

Now I'm not sure, at first he said the call was on hold, then he turned around & called it for the D.

[mware]

Of course it was difficult for Keans people to get into their headquarters today.

[Eva]

I heard that the Republicans had lawyers working on the problems with the rigged voting machines in both PA and North Jersey.

[Toespi]

I think Byrd has been dead for maybe five years, they just prop his body up and people vote, talk about an empty suit.

[cookcounty]

"How the hell would they know Santorum lost? There are no results posted as of yet on the Commonwealth of PA election site."

Exit polling, which as you know, is highly accurate.

[dep]

This loss is probably due more to voters going against the Republicans because of our esteemed governor (Taft) and a scandal involving the state Workers' Comp Fund.

didn't help that every local newscast in the state led today with the closing arguments in the trial of the grifter taft hired to invest the comp fund in rare coins and who therefore lost what he didn't steal.

[oceanview]

I meant Missouri, I made a mistake with the state code.

[GiveEmDubya]

More good news: Drake (R-VA) pulls ahead, Sekula-Gibbs (R-TX) very close behind in the early numbers.

[FarmerW]

excellent summation

[furquhart]

I think that Allen is going to win, looking at the results county-by-county.

Has anyone heard anything from Rhode Island or Conneticut?

[Blogger]

Dewine was spineless at times, but for the most part I have been satisfied with him (particular in comparison to what we could have had). Still, the polls are STILL OPEN in Ohio. They shouldn't be calling it for anyone yet.
