**Election Day 2014 - LIVE THREAD**

Free Republic Rocks! | November 4, 2014

[RKBA Democrat]

Happy Election Day everyone! I figured I'd go ahead and get the election day thread started. Polls open on the east coast in a little less than an hour.

Please be sure to post observations of interest if you went to the polls today.

I am betting on a Manchin switch. Repubs did excellent in WV. He knows which way the wind blows.

As of this post time:

Senate: Republicans have locked up 51 seats, ahead in 2 more
Senate: Democrats have locked up 42 seats, ahead in 2 more

House: Republicans have locked up 222 seats, ahead in 19 more
House: Democrats have locked up 136 seats, ahead in 46 more

Governors: Republicans have locked up 26 seats, ahead in 7 more
Governors: Democrats have locked up 13 seats, ahead in 2 more


I would like to invite folks to use the Los Angeles Times Senate, House, and Nationwide State Gubantorial candidate breakdowns.  It's a fairly good indicator of where things are headed.

Note: Make sure ALL is selected.  Then you can click on Senate, House, or Governors

These categories show current wins and gains.  (Ex: Republican = 44 +4 / Democrats = 38 +2)  Note: + denotes leading in that many races in addition to already locked up

RE:”SCOTTY WALKER CALLED THE WINNER!!!
Rat votes are usually late in WI but it’s looks like it’s over. GOPer ahead IN MARYLAND GUV race with 48% in”

FRiends, I know we cant predict the next two years but seeing Scott Walker win and Dems lose the governors race in Maryland, my Marxist state, makes me feel giddy,

In 2012 I thought I would never vote again but tonight I knew I had to vote.

Those two are exactly what I wished for.

Dems now whining on MSNBC are the icing on the cake.

Thanks for the link to that source. It’s been helpful. Apologies for MN, I tried, but I’m outnumbered by loons.

2016 is already shaping up to be a tough year for Republicans.

What would possibly be your reasoning?

[Impy]

Mike Grimm holds NY-11 in big F u to the NYtimes crowd and Obama’s DOJ.

LEE ZELDIN PICKS UP NY-1!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

MOONEY HOLDS WV-2, the CHEESE stand alone the cheese stands only. The cheese is Manchin, the only RAT in WV congressional delegation.

[randita]

Manchin has to be ripe for a pick off. I hope the GOP plays for keeps with him.

[traderrob6]

One of the few times the toe sucker called it right....he said a few hours back it wiuld end up about plus 9.

Go figure.

[mrs9x]

Think Manchin will flip? Is he the only RAT from West Virginia now?

[Viennacon]

Not for long. Manchin is about to pull a Shelby and switch parties. Count on it.

[dandiegirl]

Chris Matthews actually seems sorta happy about it all. I think he has turned on BO.

[Chickensoup]

What do we hear on LePage in Maine??

[Salamander]

A WV friend said the upcoming pet bans were all people were talking about.

They’re pissed.

[Jet Jaguar]

House is up 8 for Reps currently.

[bigbob]

well the DUmp was nice enough to post this informative article ;-)

WEST ALLIS — Gov. Scott Walker won his third governor’s race in four years Tuesday, giving him a second term to overhaul state government with fellow Republicans— and setting the stage for a possible presidential run.

Walker’s victory over Democratic challenger Mary Burke, a Madison businesswoman and philanthropist whose only elective office had been as a Madison School Board member, was more decisive than many observers might have predicted even two weeks ago.

The race drew national attention, largely because Walker became a national conservative hero in 2011 after pushing through a controversial law that all but ended collective bargaining for most of Wisconsin’s public workers. Act 10 triggered massive protests at the state Capitol and resulted in more than a dozen recalls, including one targeting Walker.

Walker was the first governor to survive a recall, and he became an increasingly popular speaker and campaign surrogate throughout the country. He released a 2013 book, “Unintimidated,” and has been seen as a potential 2016 presidential contender.

(and sorry about your $5 million and getting your ass kicked, Mary Burke!)
