When will results be available, sir?

Are you calling any of the close races right now based on your data?

Apparently, you're asleep at the wheel...

Here's some info to add to the crunch...

Why are democrats afraid of the rain?

http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/story?id=2635683&page=1

Although most experts predict heavy voter turnout in today's midterm elections, some of the most hotly contested races in Montana, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Tennessee and New Jersey could be affected by bad weather. And some experts say that, based on history, Republicans should pray for rain.

Brad Gomez, an assistant professor at the University of Georgia, examined weather data and its impact on elections in a study titled "The Effect of Bad Weather on Voter Turnout and Partisan Vote Share in U.S. Presidential Elections, 1948-2000."

Gomez concluded that when it rains, it pours at the polls for Democrats. Gomez found that "rain significantly reduces voter participation at the polls by a rate just under 1 percent per inch," and that every inch of rain cuts the Democratic vote by 2.5 percentage points.

Oh boy..

Here's a rundown of the weather forecast for some of today's most-heated races:

In Montana, where Democratic candidate Jon Tester is locked in a tight race with incumbent Republican Sen. Conrad Burns, heavy rain is expected throughout most of the state.

In Ohio, the bellwether of recent elections, rain is expected in Cincinnati, Toledo and Cleveland, with more severe showers in the more rural southeastern part of the state.

In Pennsylvania, where Democrat Bob Casey is trying to unseat Republican incumbent Sen. Rick Santorum, showers are expected throughout the state this afternoon.

And in New Jersey, where Democratic incumbent Sen. Robert Menendez is battling with Republican state Sen. Thomas H. Kean Jr., showers are predicted throughout the state this afternoon.

If the democrats win, rain loses.

At least according the the global warming brigade.

If you're pro-Hurricane, vote Republican.

Thank you.

It's not that hard. You just push the thing, and then the other thing, and you make sure that other doohickey's just like that, except when you want to vote for the other guy then it has to be like this other way, with the lever on the right up 3/4 of a way.

Come on, people! It's not rocket surgery here!

David,
Is it too soon to complain about the job performance of the democrat controlled Congress?

I haven't been on the attack in six years. I'm chomping at the bit.

All anyone has seen is the defensive posture of one William H. Thrilly and his ability to vanquish all comers. Wait until the attack dog is released. It's something to behold.

:D

I've got several hot-keyed rants ready about how democrats haven't done anything about our borders, medical care, the economy, why aren't we out of Iraq yet, and "Let's Impeach Someone!"

Uh oh...

From CNN....
Back on Capitol Hill, Democrats need a net gain of 15 seats to take the House, and a net gain of six seats to take the Senate. But even with the wind at their backs -- especially in the House -- one senior Democratic aide warned, "Don't underestimate our ability to blow it."

:e2thud: ???

Gaffer, where the hell are you? It's not a no hitter. You can say something.

I'm calling it....

The Democrats have taken back the House.

They will be +7 at the end of the night.

Congratulations.

I'm incredibly disappointed in, though not surprised by, the voters of TN.

No, but Corker is leading by 5% right now, with 54% of the results in. Granted, depending on what part of the state the rest of the votes come from, the tide could change in Ford's favor, but I seriously doubt it.

Corker ran a dirty, dishonest, sleazy campaign and scared enough old white Christians in the last month to put him over Ford. People here in Chattanooga also decided to totally overlook the fact that Corker was a really crappy mayor.

The amendment to ban gay marriage also passed with an 80+% majority.


One day, hopefully, TN will finally make it out of the Reconstruction Era.

Thank God. I might renew my faith in humanity.

Or, I might not.

lol...yeah, I'd say that anyone who renews or loses their faith in humanity based on one political party winning over another is headed for a long much of the time faithless life.

I base my faith in humanity in the smile of a child, the pat on the back from a senior citizen after I help them carry their groceries home, the smell of warm honey emanating from a backyard garden in April. And many more.

Thank you.

I'm waiting to hear results on my one major issue of this election.

Will they ban Flouride from Boulder water leaving us to live our lives with the teeth of exhumed corpses and Shane McGowan?

Please, clear thinking people of Boulder.

I hope you voted "no" on 2B.
