Me too.

Well, this explains the low Democrat turnout...
...they'll be showing up on Thursday. Doh!
Yes, the media was out to get Rand Paul. Lets see if Rand can actually get anything meaningful done or if he just becomes another GOP vote.
I know not very many precincts have been counted yet - but some of these races are looking to be a wipeout. Dems are getting beat bad...
I want to trust Rand Paul...but I dont. I do trust his Pops, but that goes without saying.
Ron Paul is one of the few members of the GOP that I would vote for. Don't agree with him on everything, but if we had a bunch of Ron Pauls in office we'd be much better off as a country.
I hope his son is a chip off the old block. Well see.
The Dems were expected to get beat badly in man of these races. The important races are the ones that are much closer not the races being won in a blowout.
I hope to God your right. Honestly, from the minute I saw him palling around with Jeb at that fundraiser, I got real su ious.
True - but in one race in Indiana, the in bent (D) is getting beat by 18%. There were so many house races, so I don't know what the polls were showing for this district - but it's still pretty bad for the in bent to be losing by such a large margin.

Model Raises G.O.P. Projection by One Seat http://nyti.ms/duY5kh Our model now projects a G.O.P. gain of 55-56 House seats. #nytelect
The one House member that Obama personally campaigned for has lost. The guy voted for Obama's agenda all the way down the line - and it cost him his seat.
That's what happens when you wake up the complacent silent majority.
Michigan just elected a Republican Governor - things are already looking up for that hard-hit state.
I guess my rand paul post belonged in this thread.
oops
This is why politics in the USA are so predictable. Anyone with the ability to think a thought could have predicted the things that have been said by the media the past year or so.
What's interesting is that many of the races in one state are breaking different ways. Usually if one party wins big in one race, they'll be up in the others also. But Republicans are winning house races with pretty big margins, but those margins are not holding in the Senate and Governor's races.
Thats not unusual. Senate races are along the entire state while House races are in completely gerrymandered districts.

In any event - Sestak race is a big indicator that hardcore progressives still have a lot of pull when motivated. They poured it into that race and they might pull out a nice upset.
That race should serve as a memo to Democrats that if they want to get elected then they'd better actually do constructive.
That's true - but I was referring to those races where a republican has or is beating an in bent democrat by a very significant margin - which would seem to indicate a higher republican turnout.
I found the first point especially interesting:
Election Night Odds and Ends
A few interesting observations:
If Dan Maes (R) doesn't get 10% in Colorado's race for governor, the Republican party will lose major party status which could have implications for the 2012 presidential race if the GOP candidate is listed way down the ballot.
Marco Rubio (R) could possibly win more than 50% of the vote in Florida's three-way U.S. Senate race,
Nikki Haley (R) won an unexpectedly close race for South Carolina governor which will fuel criticisms that national Democrats didn't take the race more seriously.
Early indications suggest it was a good year for pollsters generally.
That is interesting - lesson to Republicans: field better candidates!If Dan Maes (R) doesn't get 10% in Colorado's race for governor, the Republican party will lose major party status which could have implications for the 2012 presidential race if the GOP candidate is listed way down the ballot.
Michigan, Ohio, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania all elected Republican Governors - wonder when the last time that happened.
