**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.

Some people have a name that just doesn't play well in politics. I'd suggest "Coakley" is one of them.

If she would just change her name to something like Smith -- or Shabazz (LOL) -- she might win one of these years.

As of this post time:

Senate: Republicans have locked up 52 seats, ahead in 1 more
Senate: Democrats have locked up 43 seats, ahead in 1 more

House: Republicans have locked up 226 seats, ahead in 16 more
House: Democrats have locked up 141 seats, ahead in 44 more

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

Okay, so with McCain and his Senate Spouse Graham, we break even at this point.

Note that only 95 Senate seats are being addressed here.  Hawaii and Alaska are not on the grid yet, and one seat must be a dead heat.

We may get more than 53 by the end of the night.


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

Wow, this is like a meteor hitting the bluedogs. They’ve been wiped out

[MplsSteve]

I hate to be a buzz killer (after all, I am in Minnesota where the GOP isn’t doing too well tonight) but Alan Grayson, the nut job Dem member of Congress from the Orlando area, has won re-election.

Yuckl!

[cableguymn]

Just checked. pounded him in like a nail in rotted wood.

At least I can say I voted for him :)

[Jet Jaguar]

Thanks,

NH— Scott Brown conceded.

______________

The mans a fool to concede before they are all in when it is that close. Did that last time too.

MSNBC FINALLY calls Florida, and NC.
Ed Schultz looks suicidal.

[warsaw44]

TD - +9?? Just unreal...I never thought the number would be that high.

Brown still fighting it out in NH.

... Alan Grayson, the nut job Dem member of Congress from the Orlando area, has won re-election.

That's a contender for the second-best news of the night, dude. That lunatic is the gift that keeps on giving.

[Viennacon]

Yeah, stupid to concede now. Might as well wait

[rainee]

Moonbeam wins in CA! ugghhh

[mmichaels1970]

Gbye Harry Reid you corrupt scumbag.

[randita]

Blue Dogs are probably all gone: Barrow, Rahall done. McIntyre in NC 7 and Matheson in UT did not run again.

I don’t know of any more. Several dozen of them got wiped out in 2010.

[Jamestown1630]

I think we’ve all earned a good night! Sweet Dreams...

Tomorrow morning we start calling the winnners and holding their feet to the fire FIRST!!! THEN we move on to 2016!!

[bigbob]

Well thank you - but I think that honor goes to this picture:

May this be the start of the turnaround this great nation so desperately needs. Tonight, America has spoken.

Ok, right away she needs a coach. She laughs when she is nervous instead of taking a pause. Needs to be fixed ASAP
