Republicans picked up another Senate seat Wednesday.

Dan Sullivan led Sen. Mark Begich, D-Alaska, by more than 8,000 votes with 100 percent reporting, according to Associated Press data.

The outcome obliterated any last hope among Democrats for a silver lining to Tuesday's Republican wave, and capped a banner Election Day for the GOP.

Excellent news but that means I lost 10 bucks.

Best 10 bucks I ever lost.

Take a look at Heritage’s scorecard for 113th congress and make your decision.

Good old Angus has a 0 rating. For reference Rand Paul has a 92, Ted Cruz has a 93, Mike Lee a 96. McCain is 51 Graham is 49 Collins is 22.

If Angus switches, he will owe allegiance and fidelity to McConnell and Angus will be McConnell’s butt boy.

I understand weed isn’t technical legal in Alaska. But I understand that the laws against it are enforced less than the laws requiring that you signal before turning or changing lanes in the lower 48.

He's probably checking with the Franken campaign to see how many abandoned car trunks full of ballots might be needed.

Begich found them when he ran against Sen. Ted Stevens(R) in 2008.
Begich trailed by 3,000 votes but ended up winning by 4,000 votes when the absentee ballots were counted.

I would think by now the stupid party (R) would be on the lookout for obvious ballot fraud.
Bagich doesn't look to me that he can overcome an 8,000 vote lead by the Republican in this day and age. - tom

Angus King and Joe Manchin stated that they will continue with the democrats.
LA will go GOP
VA will go dem

54 GOP is pretty good. That will likely get us through the 2016 election. It will certainly make the VPOTUS choice important.

I still think Manchin, if he wants to be re-elected, is going to flip eventually .... too soon right now.
