60% of voters voted for a candidate other than Coats. Now we are stuck with an ex-lobbyist, pro-bailout candidate. The low turnout does not look good either.

NC - 20 of 100 counties reporting.

Burr has almost 80% of the vote (US Senate)

[Minus_The_Bear]

423/635 #IN08 GOP Bucshon 31 Risk 30 Margin is 365.

464/587 #IN09 GOP Young 34 Hankins 33 Sodrel 30. Margin is 277.

Looks like Dan Burton has a race on his hands, also. Abdul on WXNT just said that the Tea Party people split the votes enough for Coats to win. And, that the Dems are gleeful to dig up dirt on Coats.

[Minus_The_Bear]

Yep. Dan Coats is terrible. Hostettler should have dropped out. He was never even trying to win. He had raised maybe $25,000. He just hurt the state of IN & the country.

This appears to be a good site for Ohio results:

The link above that I gave InterceptPoint is not updating the results. There isn’t much going on yet. Only a few precincts reporting so far.

[blueyon]

Why are there 2 and 3 republicans running against 1 democRAT.........do they not know that’s how you lose a race............

[no dems]

Who are we rooting for on the GOP side in NC tonight?

[no dems]

Stutzman is in 2nd Place in a 5 man contest. WILL THERE BE A RUN-OFF or is it a plurality decision; the one with the most votes?

[InterceptPoint]

If you are referring to the chart you should know that we show the leading contenders for the Republican nomination for a particular Congressional District where the General Election in November is expected to be competitive. In general the Key House Races list is all about removing incumbent Dems from office. So in most of the Districts there is an incumbent Dem who is most likely running unopposed for the Dem nomination and several Republicans vying for their party's nomination.

The real fight will be November 2.

Wow; with the NRCC and the Tea Party behind Bucshon, how is Risk leading; albeit by a small margin at this time?

[Minus_The_Bear]

turnout is below %17....

[no dems]

See, that’s what I’ve been concerned about. Will the finicky American voter still be pissed off in November? Probably not. AND THAT SUCKS!!!

[Minus_The_Bear]

503/587 #IN09 GOP Young 34 Hankins 32 Sodrel 31.

[Minus_The_Bear]

Looks like Bucshon will beat Risk by about 2000 votes.

Is Young the Tea Party-ish candidate?
