Can anyone tell me--have the early votes, absentee ballot votes (including military) ALREADY BEEN COUNTED IN THE TOTALS GIVEN on the websites, or not?

[JonPreston]

I hope they do pick Pelosi.

Trump is going to do far, far better running AGAINST this bag of hags and progs that he did running WITH Paul Ryan. He's a shoe in for 2020, and a new pro-Trump House will be elected with him.

[Impy]

Jeez man, the polls closed in CT 18 hours ago didn’t they? It’s a trickle!!!! Can Stefanowski pull it out?

[Republican Wildcat]

Josh Hawley (R) is leading incumbent Claire McCaskill (D) by 10 percentage points and 140,000 votes with 62% of the precincts reporting: https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2018/11/06/us/elections/results-missouri-elections.html

Yes, would like to hear more from Mitchell right about now.

Praying here too!

What do you want to hear? We lost the house as predicted and picked up a couple in the senate.

Not a blue wave but not exactly good for us...to many factors in local races worked against us..like redistricting, and the fact we’ve held the congress for 8 years and did Ryan exactly work FOR anything to help POTUS on immigration?

Anyway...two years of that shrill bat yapping about IMPEACHMENT should get our side out in 2020

[ruthles]

Yes, Chris Wallace is full of himself. Pissed me off when he talks to Laura like that. Condescending jerk.

[Haiku Guy]

My district, NJ-7, is a nail-biter. Leonard Lance, the incumbent Republican, is up by 800 votes with 73% in.

[prairiebreeze]

Fox calling it for DeSantis.

[goldstategop]

We beat the odds. Expanded our hold on the Senate and kept the Rats to a slim House majority.

It could have a GOP bloodbath under other circumstances.

[Steven W.]

Don’t hold your breath for that - hopeful but I live in Issa’s district and the REP here got ZIP / NADA / ZILCH from NRCC.

FOX now projecting DeSantis wins AFTER Gillum gives concession speech (?!?!)

[Theodore R.]

Those old MT mossbacks are among the hardest to persuade.

[Tuxedo]

Gillum concedes!!!

[FR33DOM4ME]

Stabenow has started to pull away I’m afraid.

[VastRWCon]

Sounds of Obama

[dfwgator]

If the Rats win the House, it will be a Pyhrric Victory.

[Yaelle]

Wolffie just called the House for the Dems.

[rollo tomasi]

Guess that is that, to close to comfort

[Impala64ssa]

ABC’s *The Day After* was a made for TVdocudrama about Reagan (a sound-alike) starting a nuclear war, with panel discussions for the audience afterwards.
I remember the anti-nuke hype from the 80's all too well. Remember the No Nukes concerts? They were the brainchild of Jackson Brown and John Hall, lead singer of Orleans (Still the One) and my fmr Congressman (NY11). They were done to raise awarness of the dangers of nuclear proliferation, esp. under the eeevil "Raygun" regime, the "doddering old man with is finger on the button". Sting, Pat Benetar, the Talking Heads, an up and coming Maddonna and anyone who was someone performed at these venues. Funny how these concerts weren't brought back during the Iranian nuke deal to warn a new generation of the impending dangers of a nuclear holocaust.

[peggybac]

Woo hoo congrats DeSantis!

[God luvs America]

the GOP did NOTHING to motivate people to vote...it was President Trump and if anything, the Kavanaugh antics of the left helped us...

pin the House loss on the pathetic GOPe..it may have been different if McCain passed last year as a lot of Republicans found their gonads once he was gone (yes- i know he was in the Senate)..
