Please post as much election information as you can on this thread, so we won't have a million separate threads running at one time.

And, please, NO GRAPHICS -- just links!

Isn't nearly 40% no (Anstead) pretty much unparalleled in those retention votes?

[KsSunflower]

All comments for Libby in NC are grim. :0(

Hume is making it sound not so good.

[LBGA]

Not many votes counted yet but here is the first report on GA Senate:

0% of precincts reporting

Max Cleland (D) 582 | 54.5%  
Saxby Chambliss (R) 473 | 44.3%   
Claude "Sandy" Thomas (Lib) 12 | 1.1%

[kingedgars]

One of the local networks just released early results for the Governor's race. With about 650 votes counted, Sanford (R) 62% and Hodges (D) 38%. Nice start.

[DKNY]

A suicide watch is needed at DU

I'll watch.

I'll bring the popcorn.

[jwalsh07]

Sounds like Dole has big trouble in NC. CDamn shame if we lose that one.

[Jhensy]

Chris Chocola (GOP) 17,713

The GOP's running a guy named Chocola? Like Count Chocola? wtf?

My other favorite name this year is Posthumus (Mich.?). Would have been a good name for the Minn. race...

[ladyinred]

I know how you feel, I have the tv on in the other room low so I can't hear it real well. I was trying to watch, then they had some rat woman on there accusing the Pubbies of dirty tricks at the polls. She had a sneer on her piggy face and proceeded to say unchallenged that the Pubbies were trying to stop black people from voting. That did it for me! I was going ballistic!

[kingedgars]

South Carolina's Governor's race, that is. Ooops.

[JavaTheHutt]

CNN --- 1% precincts reporting for SC Senate, Graham (R) 63%, Sanders (D) 36%

[Jorge]

pMSNBC has all but given Florida to Jeb...Ashleigh Whatsername...

Yes...let it be true. I need another beer!

[Chad Fairbanks]

Are you referring to Dick Pothumus? I hope he's not a 'come from behind' candidate.... 0)

[GOPrincess]

Yeah, I heard Hume and Shep discussing NC and they seemed to be hinting at an upset, though Shep said they "weren't projecting." Very worried about that. Hopefully absentee ballots would make a difference for Dole if it's close??

[TLBSHOW]

For the people that threw out the TV, what is "Journeys with George"

Good to see you on board!

[Darlin']

"RAW numbers out of SC.......Graham---- R .....57% to the RAT---Sanders...43%!!!!!! "

That looks good even though its early. Honestly, I don't expect that race to be close at the end. It may get crazy mid way through but I think its Graham. :)

[over3Owithabrain]

Yeah - it sounded like Fox knew that Bowles is going to win, but they can't yet call it. Very bad news - so is the early returns for Cleland/Chambliss.

I'm getting worried early...

[hole_n_one]

Absolutely!

A pic of Chris Matthews crying is what I'm really hoping for.

[hchutch]

I'm afraid some of the purists will be celebrating about how they taught the GOP a lesson by either staying at home or voting for Bowles, too.

Like a Daschle-run Senate will help conservatism any...

[lizma]

Wasn't listening becuz Lanny was on. Does sound like good news.

It is unprecendented, no Supreme Court justice has ever been voted out.

Before the night is over that may change.
