ATM, things NOT looking good for OH's Ted Strickland. Behind 49-47 with 46% in.

[Clio the Leo]

1. per CNN: OK votes AGAINST the HCR mandate....

.... doubt that's the end of the story though.

[Clio the Leo]

2. PA-Sen: Sestak 51, Toomey 48! (60 percent in) nt

[Clio the Leo]

12. Still Sestak 51 - 48 with 80% in. nt

[Kdillard]

3. Ugh so sad we couldn't hold the House for Nancy. I shudder at having Speaker

Boehner. I am happy that Cuomo won hopefully he does a better job than our last two Govenors.

[vaberella]

6. How? California votes haven't been tallied...a lot of them haven't finished. n/t

[Kdillard]

10. So there is still a chance we can hold the House because I was under the impression it was a done

deal that the GOP was going to win it? If there is still a chance we can hold it I would be more than thrilled.

[vaberella]

14. Yeah. California is still voting last I heard and the numbers haven't come in yet.

You haven't heard a single talk about McAdams, Brown or Boxer yet...that means the count's not over.

[Kdillard]

17. Good. My fingers are crossed then and I would be thrilled if MSNBC were embarassed

by the Dems holding on to both the Senate and House.

[pstokely]

15. The media says they've won, it's over

:sarcasm:

[defendandprotect]

33. MSM's large computers = crystal ball . . . .

they began coming in during mid-1960's --

prior to that time they could only report actual vote tallies --

Large computers gave them new powers to PREDICT and CALL elections, winners,

losers, Electoral College by states -- and CALL election for new president!

What we saw in 2000 was simply a reversal of those new powers!

4. I'm pregnant with

anticipation to see how things are going to go here in the west and on the Pacific coast.

[jillan]

dupe - my computer has been doing that lately.

[jillan]

7. Hey you! How are you doing? The election results can't be helping much.

[WheelWalker]

29. I'm still infected with a loathsome organism.

Daily treating to catch the Beast. Still, election night on DU is a priority as long as I'm breathing.

Blessings, P.

5. SD: Marijuana DOES NOT win (for medical use)...

ETA: corrected my headline, had it wrong.

[vaberella]

16. I've been trying to get that man out of office for 6 years now.

He's invincible. He's my Rep. As my friend said..."I hate the guy, but without him Harlem will fall to the ground." <---Ditto.
