Follow those races here. Report turnout, exit polls etc. as they happen..

[Shelayne]

Shenanigans!

[mware]

Well I think I can safely say I will be one of the few teachers smiling tomorrow in the teachers room.

[CedarDave]

Damn!! 29% vote in for NY-23 and Owens lead has increased from 2,500 to 3,300 votes.

There is no way the Dems are going to let any candidate Sarah Palin endorses win. They will pull out all stops to defeat *her*.

I'm pessimistic enough to believe that.

The two gubernatorial races are nice to win, but we need more votes in congress the most.

[maeng]

I am sorry, I did not know that Hoffman lost...where is the information?

[Tailback]

THERE IS FRAUD GOING ON IN NY-23 RACE BIG TIME

Yup. How does a district that's voted GOP since 1871 vote in a Dem on the same night that the VA. Gov GOP candidate won by 20 points, and the NJ Gov GOP candidate won also?

[Irish Eyes]

Yes, the machines do need to be impounded. (and fast)

[cherry]

I'll be here.....stomach in throat....back ache...nervous twitching....just like the last election....

when Bush won his last election, I was up til 5am Pacific time...

[TNCMAXQ]

OMG this is fantastic. I wonder if Mike Barone is working behind the scenes for Fox. If they call it for Christie based on his projections then we know it is good. I can’t wait to hear Corzine concede. If this result holds it is a huge blow to the White House and there is no way they can pretend it isn’t.

Bloomberg now gaining a point in NYC. That race seems much closer than expected.

[Jrabbit]

Shep is disbelieving....wants some kind of challenge....

[xp38]

Dear Jon Corzine....you no longer have to rush around the garden state without wearing your official governors seat belt.

[PapaBear3625]

Neither the Republican nor Democrat establishment has any interest in a Hoffman win tonite.

Trippe already saying that Christie barely won it.

[pollywog]

I couldn’t disagree with you more!! Sarah Palin brings energy. Had Dede not pulled the percentage away from Hoffman and endorsed the Democratic candidate Hoffman would be landsliding right now!!!!

Sarah will be a key factor in 2010-12 no matter how you want to cut it!

SARah SARah SARah!!!!!!!
