FL Governor’s race: too close to call, with 30% reporting.

Also closed in TX….

AL called for Shelby (R,Inc)

I get Coburn for 6 more years.

DE-AL has been called for Carney (D)

Maddow is on fire tonight.

What shall we say?

Look on the bright side, maybe you’ll get hit by a comet or something.

We should say ouch. He said they need to vote to repeal health care reform every month. Total gridlock. It is hard to tear the corruption out of a program (choices) when the opposition denies the viability of a program. Like making Israel and Palestine shake hands when neither recognizes the others right to exist.

Thanks…a bumpy ride ahead.

Just got an email from Himes that certain polling places in Bridgeport CT have extended their hours until 10p.

Check out Free Speech TV’s live coverage with Amy Goodman — they’re talking about the senate races right now at livestream.com/freespeechtv

Maddow is yanking that Overton MSNBC window to the radical side, with every comment.

Why? What’s the story? I think I heard small report of problems in Harris County (Houston) but no details. Margaret will know, Im sure.

I feel ya. File my comment in the DUH file.

Can you give some quotes?

Chris Matthews, off-camera as Keith Olbermann says, “In a moment we’ll have results from Arkansas, with Blanche Lincoln–”

“HA!”

ill say it again….randy Paul is a united states senator

bottom of the barrel much………………….oy

Acorn filed for bankruptcy today. They did nothing wrong and the Dems did nothing to defend them. Acorn registered voters in a big way. The Dems do nothing but screw the middle class and the poor and shoot themselves in the foot. Good riddance.

There weren’t any details with the email.

Naw…I thought it was perfect in restraint/understatement.

PA 0.1% reporting Sestak 98.9, Toomey 1.2

That must be the district Sestak’s Mom is in. Enjoy that number, it will only get worse from there.

Here’s my favorite rant of hers so far

You see her eyes flash? She’s loaded for bear and ain’t takin no “both the right and the left” equipabulum from tweety.

LOL! Rude PUndit tweets:

Chris Matthews has already made a dick joke and a balls joke. He may be drunker than me.

how can i continue to live in a country ,where 30 to 40 % of people DONT graduate high school,and 40+% believe thw world is 2000 years old………….jeebus

Dodd to be replaced not by the wrestling lady but by Blumenthal.

Blanche loses. Hey Blanche, kthxbai.

hahahahahahahaha
thats what i am missing

good riddance to rubbish ,as they say…but rubbish is more worthy

Grayson conceded?

Ed Schultz offhandedly blames Bill Halter for Blanche’s loss tonight.

Whatta tool.

Grrr! On MSNBC, Ed Schultz just said it’s our fault Lincoln is losing in Arkansas. If we hadn’t primaried her so hard, she wouldn’t have been so weak. He’s saying it’s a casualty because of that. Why the hell isn’t it a casualty that the PTB in the Democratic party machine felt that Lincoln needed to be backed no matter what, that they knew better? Grrr!

Wow, thanks. I loved the way all those guys looked completely cowed. One of those “tell us what you really think” rants. Perfect.

Joe Manchin wins WV Senate

That’s what I’ve come to expect from MSRNC.

Wow. Lincoln lost. Knock me over with a feather. Too bad those drug-addled fooking retards in the DLC decided to waste millions on her.

Don’t know much about him…but so glad she’s out.

Alan Grayson is a big loss

Dayum. Maybe I can convince him to move to my district and run here.

They’re going to have to separate RM and Tweety on MSNBC to keep them from pounding the shit out of each other.

I’m in Oklahoma myself.

We were fucking retarded to campaign against her. We’re the professional left.

And O’Donnell joins him.

Good. He’s too good for the Rats. Maybe he’ll run for president on a third party ticket.

He has time available now to launch a challenge to Obama.

Hippy punching! Es muy mas macho.

Hippies appropriately punched! Take that, you fucking “Lefties”!!

O’Donnell asks Ed if the liberal activists will be campaigning a primary challenger to Joe Manchin in six years.

I loved Grayson, so don’t get me wrong. I just think his big mouth would have gotten him into trouble sooner rather than later.

A bit of an analogy with Spitzer, who I never liked. But when you’re out there, you’re wearing a sign on your back.

This is my first time back on this site for over a year. I’ve honestly given up on America. We have the worst recession in history and people march in the streets demanding MORE deregulation. If W, Iraq, Katrina, BP, and Goldman Sachs can’t make America more progressive nothing will. If it gets worse there’s always Canada.

Third party route may not be necessary. Obama could be doing the LBJ bow out before the primaries start.

And I didn’t quite understand Ed. Was he saying maybe — on the SCOTUS ruling about corporate money in elections?

They’re quite disgusted with the inoilitic , and thus thoroughly moronic, “Lefties”…

Yes. Comparing WV to AR and Manchin to Blanche asking if we’ll primary him. How dare party members choose to vote against an incumbent. O’Donnell is the weakest link of the line-up. He draws false equivalencies and gets on his hind legs to make stupid noises.

That’d be my guess.

We need help chasing the far right out of the bunker they’ve dug for themselves in the broadcast media.

Nothing going to change until we get them out of broadcast booth.

You can’t do anything to help from Canada.

You could have also added bankruptcy of Acorn as noted in # 19.

With 12% reporting, Alexi’s killing Kirk. I don’t know if this means anything or not but it’s nice to see.

Alan Grayson talked some good smack, but he was wasn’t progressive enough for my taste.

When I went to vote today, I was greeted by two volunteers asking folks to sign for Rahm to get on the ballot. Since it was already hard to go vote D, it was not a welcome intrusion in my day – at all – and I told them so. The lady said “oh, are you one of those hate Rahm folks” … my resounding YES was a bit loud I guess.

I expect it to tighten up, but I am quite hopeful about Kirk going down.

You can’t even give up and surrender in Canada. People in the U.S. may find it hard to believe, but Canadians like Canada filled with Canadians. They don’t WANT Americans. Hard to imagine . . .

Have some sympathy – probably 90% of the people they talk to are “hate Rahm” folks. And the other 10% are lying.

Tweety to Marsha Blackburn R-TN:

“What is republicans number 1 priority, pulling wings off of butterflies or using your mouth as a testicle cozy for multinational corporations?

The lady said “oh, are you one of those hate Rahm folks”

Sounds like she’d already met a few.

Lincoln would have gotten her ass kicked without a primary challenge.

Remember that anonymous source from Politco (probably Rahm) that trashed unions and said they flushed 10 million dollars down the toilet supporting Halter? Well, Lincoln lost (just like the unions thought she would), and the 20 million or so the DNC spent on Lincoln was pretty much flushed down the toilet.

Heck of a job, Rahm.

Sweet! I wish I would have been there to see that!

Can he say all that? Looks like he has gone ’round the bend. Did he get an answer?

Maybe Grayson can go back to suing war profiteers, I imagine that’s a growth industry even now.

Wha? No he did not say that testicle cozy part!

Colorado polls closing next – I’m on pins and needles.

Tick … tick … tick. Polls close here in three minutes.

Good for you!

They picked the WRONG person to ask to sign a petition for Rahm, I’d guess.

Progressives are on an island in this country. Say what you want about the Right but at least they’re passionate about what they believe in. They made much more noise over healthcare than we ever did over Iraq. Just signing a petition from Moveon isn’t enough. Until we start fighting as intense as our enemies, nothing is going to change.

They don’t WANT Americans.

I have friends from Colombia who will be receiving the red carpet when they arrive in Canada. Just shows you what others think of us.

dday’s upstairs with a goodbye post for Blanche.

This is an excellent map. I need to share it with you all.
http://elections.nytimes.com/2010/results/senate

You mean Canadians love their country and aren’t trying to escape like Fox News (and a lot of the MSM) want us to believe?

top comment of the night (so far)

They don’t fight intensively or make more noise. They have big corp money to finance noise & organize rallies. Without that, they’d be a sorry wimpy groups of middle class whities.

Well, I might of paraphrased a little, or even made stuff up. But it would be irresponsible not to speculate about their top priority.

On the bright side, once out of bankruptcy it can go back into business. We could use a good organization to recruit and organize folks to register to form a progressive third party. Start fresh, no garbage from existing third parties.

Yeah, I felt like I should have a warning sign on me … do not ask this woman about Rahm!

Actually, I thought it was telling that his volunteers were used simply to get him signatures and not to support the D ticket in any way. Always out for himself, eh?

This is a great resource. Thanks! I’m not getting MSNBC any more because Comcast has scrambled it and I don’t want to pay for the box and additional fees. I can watch Rachel & KO online except not sure how it will work tonight. So I have this Free Speech TV running!

Tweety is talking about Boehner having 80 new GOPs to manage in the House with something like 237 overall. Where are these numbers coming from?

“testicle cozy”, a new classic. I was hoping it was said on teevee. Alas, Tweety could never create such spectacular imagery.

There’s an NBC projection to that effect.

This is really close:
Ohio governor
Strickland (D) 50
Portman (R) 47

My money’s on Maddow.

If that makes you feel better but I stand by what I said.

Kasich, not Portman, is the GOP candidate for Governor.

Portman’s won the US Senate seat.

OMG, S.C. governor’s race just switched to leans dem.

a testicle cozy for multinational corporations

I actually wrote that one down — so as not to forget it.

Senator elect Rand Paul. Ick.

NBC: Republicans will gain control of the House

http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/_news/2010/11/02/5397904-nbc-republicans-will-gain-control-of-the-house-

i would support that,in a very big way

Controlling the media played a large part in that, perhaps the largest.

Sestak’s still killing Toomey and Alexi’s still killing Kirk. Plus Haley’s in trouble in SC.

It’s been twelve minutes! What is this, the 16th century?!? Count the dumb votes already!

At Perry’s election party he has broken out his new book; wish you were there?

Particularly because Tweety is shitfaced — again.

The truly amazing thing is that they aren’t working harder to keep us out. Even as visitors, you cross into Canada. They ask where you’re going. They say “Have a nice day.” Didn’t even ask for a driver’s license. Coming back, after showing recent passports and saying we’d visited Montreal, the guard demanded to know WHY (one very loud word). Part of me still wishes I’d had the guts to say I wanted to remember what a free country looked like. They’d have held me up for hours. If I’d been alone it might have been worth it.

Give me $20 million of that sweet Koch cash … and I’ll make the teabaggers look like JV cheerleaders.

You are really comparing apples and oranges.

I wouldn’t call Fox News and conservaradio “the media.” I live in the south (i.e. enemy occupied territory) and believe me, these people actually think Obama’s a muslim.

On a good note the 2 redistricting amendments in FL look to be passing. 60% for passage, both at 62%. Almost 3.5M votes cast.

is he? LOL! have to tune that in

Then I’ll go to Vermont or someplace lol Actually, what is the most progressive-friendly state?

that’s good news. not every one/thing i voted for lost. my rep was the first incumbent to lose.

You can call them whatever you like but the networks, cable and radio are controlled by reichwing corporations. Their reichwingedness is simply a matter of degree. You want left leaning media you’ve got Amy Goodman and community radio stations, and I’m not talkin’ NPR. They reach a lot of people but not nearly enough.

shut up, ed

Augggh! Kasich, of course.
And now it’s 48-48.

OK, I’m armed with a fresh drink.

CO GOV 0% reporting Hickenlooper 50.4, Tancredo 41.7, Maes 6.5
CO SEN 2.9% reporting Bennet 66.9, Buck 29
CO-3 11.6% reporting Tipton 60.1, Salazar 34.1
CO-4 5.6% reporting Markey 50.6, Gardener 44.3

With the exception of those 2 amendments I’m a total washout. Oh, well, not the first time. Back to step one.

Gettin’ too old for this shit. *g*

Why doesn’t the % reporting match for governor and senate? Aren’t they on the same stupid ballot?

You just said it.

CO GOV 4.8% reporting Hickenlooper 57.3, Tancredo 31, Maes 10.1
CO SEN 4.8% reporting Bennet 53.7, Buck 44.1
CO-3 11.6% reporting Tipton 60.1, Salazar 34.1
CO-4 5.6% reporting Markey 50.6, Gardener 44.3

There’s good stuff on NPR. I love Amy G and I’ll watch Democracy Now if she has a good guest like Nader, Chomsky, Michael Moore, etc. but usually when I turn it on she’s talkng about the plight of bean farmers in Guatemala or something like that.

Brian Ryder, 34, wrote HuffPost to explain his lack of motivation today. The Tinley Park, Ill. resident said that a massive pile of student loan debt, combined with reduced hours and a bleak job outlook, kept him at home. “Like many, I have lost any and all faith that voting will do anything whatsoever to help with the issues that actually matter,” he wrote. “On the other side of the fence, the Tea Party movement seems directionless and equally inept. For someone seemingly stuck in the middle of it all, I feel like there is no choice available, nor any real help on the horizon.”

Really? I thought so.
