Looking more and more like the Gop has a very good shot at getting the Senate. Turn on Cbs...Dan Rather sounds like he is about to start crying :D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

Rather is soundling like a moron.

This race is tighter than the pages of a book!

WTF does that mean?

Ahhh the Republicans get a mouse in the milk! They didn't expect it, but it's a nice treat.

Come on lol

Fox is calling AR for the Dems (and the guy actually probably is the better choice)

Colorado and Missouri are the key states. If the republicans hold Colorado and win Missouri, they have control of the Senate. Then you still have those to other races, where it looks like republicans can pick up one or the other. Its trending towards a 48 democrats 1 indy 51 republican Senate. Looks like judges will finally be appointed.

So those who showed up before the polls close only to get turned away because of no ballots should not have a vote?? That violates democracy, or represenitive republic, however you want to state it...

The question is, why didn't they have ballots at the poll? I mean, WHAT ELSE DO THESE PEOPLE DO BUT MAKE SURE THERE ARE ENOUGH BALLOTS!!!

Sorry, but it all seems kind of fishy. The Democrats conveniently don't have enough ballots at their precinct, but they do have their lawyers on hand to file a suit with a Democratic judge who forces the polls open for a few more hours. If they allow this kind of behavior, then next year, everybody's going to be rigging their local elections this way.

Its kinda funny when it ONLY happened to the strongest democrat county. Fishy is indeed what it smells like with all the voter fraud going on. Not like it really matters Democrats picked up the Arkansas seat like expected.

On a side note, KATHERINE HARRIS, yes the former Sec. of State of Florida, is now congresswoman Katherine Harris.

I can't speculate as to why the precincts ran out of ballots, but what does keeping the pols open longer accomplish?? Are people who weren't going to vote suddenly deceide that they want to?? I think not.....You keep the pols open longer so that those who got there and couldn't vote due to no ballots could have their vote count.
If you want to talk about voter fraud, I believe Jeb Bush and Katherine Harris are the champions. Something "fishy" like keeping pols open so people can vote is nothing compared to purging 90,000 legitimate voters off the registration rolls...

Hey there are waiting periods on guns so why should They allow you to hastily register and vote? You speak as if you have the right to vote just as you have a right to own a firearm. Er, wait a minute....

Allard is leading Strickland in Colorado, and Talent leads Carnahan in Missourri. Maybe we will have some federal judges confirmed next session!

Minnesota is tight; Coleman has a 2% lead over Mondale.

Bill Simon leads Grey Davis in Cali, too. ;)

This just in, Rick Perry, declared winner in TX. Just think Sanchez spent $60million out of his own pocket, ouch.

Um that's probably 60M of drug money laundered through his failed bank.

Looks like the Ds seriously messed up with that Wellstone "memorial" fiasco. Live by politics, die by politics.

Nice to see most Nevadians have their heads screwed on right and summarily put down two tax initiatives and voted in a property tax reduction/deduction.

Last time I checked, 802 people had voted for Wellstone. Kinda sad they'd rather vote for a dead guy than Walter Mondale, huh? ;)

Thought it might be nice to have one thread where you could post election results (projected or confirmed). If there are any propositions on the ballot you want to bring up, you can do this as well.

Nothing doing in MA yet. Keep ya posted!



wbz4 just projected romney to win in MA.

I find it interesting that CNN is being relatively quiet on the Minnesota race.
