Early results look good for Dems

[Screech]

McCaskill now down by 52K from 57K.

 

[mithrandir2001]

Looks like a Dem House sweep of Philly:

Sestak, L Murphy, Schwartz, P Murphy, Fattah

The Murphy elections are close but they should just make it through now that precinct % is quite high.

 

[senseamp]

WEBB better claim victory, make Allen look like sore loserman.

 

[daveshel]

Virginia, maybe Missouri...

 

[TraumaRN]

EDIT: Nevermind.

'4 Senate races to close to call' now says CNN.

Same in Pittsburgh. Melissa Hart got voted out despite having a very high lead going in. One of my political science professors ran on the Green ticket against Doyle (D) and got beat in a landslide. Was upset about that.

down to a 48K lead in missouri...

Uh no he wouldnt hes entitled to a recount. Its not the same as sueing for a recount. The state automatically has to recount if there is less than 1% difference.

What is interesting is they will be counting all the provisional ballots tomorrow. In any event, it appears VA is likely to determine who is going to control the Senate.

Allen on CNN...introducing the family...I'm sure he won't concede, but we'll see what he says

VA is back into the toss up category. Both Ms are leaning Dem right now.

Assuming Missouri goes to the Dems. I'm not sure if I see that happening...

Allen not conceding. He thanked everyone except "Macaca"

 

[Legendary]

So what's the over/under on how long it will take to decide VA?

Took til Dec 22nd for the Attorney General last time.

If MO goes to the Dems, it'll probably be decided in the same amount of time as in the 2000 Presidential election. Unfortunately, I can see it going the same way too... lawsuits -> GOP winning.

McCaskill takes the lead!

 

[Balt]

The Allen campaign is claiming that one of their strong precincts decided to stop counting ballots and go home for the night.

Uh, Montana and Missouri are both looking like they are dem, which means 50-49. VA is going determine control of the Senate. If Webb wins, its 51-49. If Allen wins its 50-50, which Cheney being the tie break. Ultimately the Repubs control in a 50-50 split, but there will be powersharing.

Problem with that is, there are more outstanding democrat precincts than there are republicans.

I recant my statement. That was back when McCaskill was down by 70,000 votes.
