Turnout in Maine reported to be much higher than expected (50%). Some pundits saying that's good for the pro gay marriage side and because that side tended to have a better ground game in this election I tend to agree but who really knows.
By far the biggest for me is the election in Maine. I would love to see civil rights take one more step forward as opposed to a step backwards, so I'm hoping all goes well there.
NY-23 is interesting, but not so much. A Dem win here would be pretty big, but a 3rd party win doesn't mean as much since its a typically GOP district.
New Jersey is a toss up, will probably be the one most pundits talk about if the GOP does win here. Pundits can drive public opinion and I'm worried about a GOP win here and how it might affect Health Care reform. If the GOP does win look for the conversation to quickly shift back to the trigger in Senate.
Locally the only initiative i care about is Prop Four. Vote YES imo.

Looks like NBC has called Virginia for McDonnelL

New Jersey isn't reporting yet.
NY Times has running totals
Here is the Virginia Map
Virginia State Baord of Elections
It's good to see them putting it up to the people of the state, and not a judge.
No surprise there.
..NY-23 is a decidedly Republican district, with the GOP enjoying a 14-percentage point advantage in voter ID, according to Public Policy Polling...
Maine so far supporting marriage equality. Hope this holds up.

Chris Christie (R) 447,960 (52%)
Gov. Jon Corzine (D) 356,974 (42%)
Chris Daggett (I) 47,101 (6%)
So far.
Five Thirty Eight reporting:
Corzine looks to be projecting to 45-48 percent of the vote statewide.
Wth Daggett numbers much lower than expected so far all that means is that that this race will probably be incredibly close.

Prop four is doing good - i don't give a about most of the other props but thats where you can check.
i guess christie wasn't that fat......................
NBC projecting Christie as the winner in NJ.
Yeh, but they'll say he was fat enough to stuff extra ballots.
WOO HOO!!!!! The Republicans win both Virginia and New Jersey! I guess all that campaigning by the annointed one didn't help the corrupt Corzine. Great night so far!
It's about time. It was apparent he would win some 20 minutes ago or more. The NY 23 is surprising me. Is Dede Scozzafava's endorceing the democrat really having that much effect, or are the republicans staying home? I hope it's just that the early reporting districs are liberal, and the more conservative ones aren't in yet. At 31% reporting, Hoffman 43.9%, Owens 51.1%. Not looking good for Hoffman.
Could there be cheating? Polls clearly had Hoffman ahead.
got an AP alert about 20 minutes ago
And a sweep for the top 3 spots in Virginia.
Where were you? That was called an hour ago or more.

No.
Polls had Hoffman ahead with 18% undecided. And the undecideds doubled over the weekend. Obviously, they aren't pulling the lever for the s bag. That's what you get for eating your own.
eh. NY23 only has 21% reporting
Hmmm...
Geting slow news?
I have 39% reporting
29,035 49.8% Owens
26,283 45.1% Hoffman
Unlikely, but not impossible for Hoffman to get 3,000 more votes than Owens in the remaining unreported still.
ah. just looking at cnn.com
wish they have the area maps and all that stuff. looks like the gap is closing. what's the population of that district?
I know that - I was just waiting for them to call NJ.
That's the thing - they didn't eat their own. The republican candidate was far more liberal than the average voter - she was really just a democrat with an R after her name.GMAFB

What happened was that the conservatives stood up and said NO!
