U.S. Election Predictions/Results

[JohnT]

Here's how things are looking in the undeclared Senate races so far (12:20pm, CNN)

Alaska Senate: 0 votes for anybody, 0% precincts reporting. Stevens (Republican) is the incumbent. According to CNN, they're still voting.

Colorado: Allard (R) leads 51-44%, 65% reporting

Louisiana: Landreiu (D) leads 3 Republicans 46-27-14-10, 95% reporting.

Minnesota: Coleman (R) leads 54-43%, 12% reporting.

Missouri: Talent (R) leads 52-46%, 65% reporting

South Dakota: Johnson (D) leads 51-48%, 59% reporting

Wow!!! Perdue (R) beats Barnes for the Governorship of Georgia!! That was unexpected! (By me, anyway).

It surprised Barnes too as well... Even as late as last night, he was predicting a victory... a close one, but still a victory.

They've just called Colorado for Allard - That means the Dems have to sweep the last three (I'm ignoring Louisiana here) - and that won't happen 2of 3 will probably go "Red". Missouri is almost a Republican lock, and that will transfer control of the Senate back to the Republicans overnite (technically - the parliamentiary maneuvers will boggle the mind as Daschle et al struggle to hold on)

I can't deny I am enjoying this a wee bit.

Libertarians polled 10% in the Wisconsin governor race, with over 157,000 votes.

Also polled 5% in Oregon with 35,000, and most other places 1-2%.

In Senate races, Libertarian candidates polled 9% in Kansas, with 66,000 votes.

Also, 19% (!) in Massachusetts, with 329,000 votes. Admittedly, a Republican was not running, but that is still amazing!

In the House, Libertarians achieved the following:
6% in Arizona.
4% in Indiana

Not as strong in the House races, it appears.

In all, though, a very good showing for the Libertarian party, especially in Wisconsin and Massachusetts, where they hit double digits.

A moral victory is still a loss, David.

Closest race in 2002?

Captured this off Washington Post's coverage two minutes ago.

Oh, and congrats to the GOP. Ya'll behave yourselves now.

[David Floyd]

A moral victory is still a loss, David.

Yes, I know.

And the Democrats are ****ed, after this election. Which is too bad, really. Having hawkish right-wingers in control of the entire nation is going to be disastrous.

Ol' headmaster Mondale is losing in Minnesota from the looks of it.

No complaints Sire.

2% Libertarian vote in CA is respectable.

Although that Green vote is the highest I've seen in any election return this year - considering it's CA, I'm not surprised.

Fritz! Fritz! Fritz!
