Dems are toast in NC but will hold VA

 

[AuH20]

Tillis won? Wow. Dems were really weak.

 

[RPfan1992]

didn't think Virginia would be this close, judging from the polls on wikipedia.

 

[CPUd]

The other Udall (NM) is up so far.

Tillis won? Wow. Dems were really weak.

I'm not seeing that yet. I'm expecting a runoff, which will probably give it to Tillis eventually, but I'm not seeing a win yet tonight.

It shouldn't have been within 20 points. The Obama Effect is devastating to the Democratic Party, it's absolutely killing them. And if you think it's bad now, wait until "executive amnesty" comes around.

dont think NC had a run off in general but i dunno

in the primary it was only 40%

A couple of Tillis' late ads really messed Hagan up. The ads about her husband getting stimulus money and an ad showing Hagan criticizing Elizabeth Dole for "doing nothing but voting along with the President" (GWB) put him over the top. The libertarian candidate is doing historically well but probably didn't swing the election.

No run-off in the general in NC.

Yeah, the numbers for Ernst are coming in. The larger outlets will probably start calling it for her now.

Wasn't there a Fascist-Establishment GOP douchebag that took SE NC congressional seat?

Republicans win Senate

Possible recount in NH.

 

[economics102]

How is Gardner?

I know Udall was at least good on the NSA - although probably terrible on most economic related issues and limiting the size of government. I don't know much about either. Is this a good pickup for us or is Gardner pure establishment and we lost an ally on civil liberties/NSA.

Yeah, this was my thought too. Udall was good on the NSA stuff, like Ron Wyden.

 

[thoughtomator]

Looks like my predictions were right on target. Angus King will flip to the new majority leaving Democrats in control of 45 seats (44 if NH also flips, 43 if they somehow manage to lose NM or VA).

 

[RPfan1992]

FOX is saying Tillis won.

Team Red keeps the House. Team RED wins the Senate. Team Blue loses the Senate. Overall summary for 2014 elections: America and the Constitution loses again...

Yeah, it doesn't really seem like a victory, but there will be a shift in rhetoric.
