Well that opened my eyes. Thank you.

They know how to count votes locally. Bet she is right.

[Sarah Barracuda]

Yeah but Clinton canceled those fireworks days in advance, the moment I heard that I knew she lost the election..you don’t cancel a huge fireworks display days in advance after all the preparation it takes for an event like that unless you know you got beat

[snarkytart]

that was before the election, at this point of the night i’m sure handel as a grasp on the way things are going, but you’re correct never get too cocky

[DAVEY CROCKETT]

Come on Georgia don’t sell out to Hollywood money, it is aweful how the movie makers are trying to buy out our towns and state.

[Sarah Barracuda]

Wait, the Democrat is beating the Republican in SC? Is that a Dem district?

NYT website gives Handel a 50.5% chance of winning tonight. Remember during the November election when NYT gradually moved towards Trump as the night went on.

I think Congress should investigate the fireworks cancellation.

[edie1960]

At least the Hildabeast never came close to showing up on election night.

[glennaro]

Thanks for the update...I was going off the NYT site ... MISTAKE!!

-- I remember hillary's campaign having all those fireworks on order. --

Then canceling the order a few days before the election, "on account of fire marshal would not allow the display." Supposedly. According to Camp Hillary.

whew that looks better in South Carolina.

[frnewsjunkie]

I heard earlier on the radio that the race in SC had no extra goings on there like in GA.. no one sank money in it..and to see who won it without all the cash and news focused on them.

“You said America....Guam isn’t in America.

The territorial motto (Not me saying) is “Where America’s Day Begins.

Guamians are American citizens, everyone that that is born here is a natural born American since (I think) 1986.

Guam is part of the United States - It is part of America. Just not a state. So it is in America as much as Hawaii is.

Unlike Puerto Rico the territory does not run a huge deficit in its budget and (I’m guessing) better than 1/3 of the teenagers here join some branch of the US military.

Living here is like living in a moderate to conservative,though Hispanic, lower middle class part of the US 30 or 40 years ago.

Guam republicans voted for Trump at the Republican National Convention.

[Sarah Barracuda]

Yeah but meantime in SC it looks like the Democrat might win which is weird considering its SC..is that a Dem district just seems weird

[Enchante]

yeahhhhhhh..... pls pls pls let Pajama Boy lose!!!!!!!!

I can't say I care much about Handel, but I'm not sure I could bear the MSM and Twitter joy of Democraps if Pajama Boy were to pull this off.

[TomGuy]

NYT update page seems to be stuck. Maybe they are out looking for more Dem ballots.

Handle continues to open up a slight lead.
