12:01AM: IA-01 was just snapped up by Democrats. Feel that blue wave.
11:56PM: Wow. KS-02 just flipped to the Democrats.
11:51PM: Webb pulls ahead by 3,000 votes in VA-Sen! Looks like Dan called it right – so far.
11:47PM: Amazing. In IA-02, Dave Loebsack (D) is 4 points ahead of Jim Leach (R) with 57% reporting.
11:32PM: The fun never ends: PA-04 and AZ-05 have flipped Democratic.
11:25PM: Wow… we actually did it. Democrats have recaptured the House of Representatvies. More pick-ups are on the way. Take a minute and savor it, folks.
11:10PM: Add ’em up on the big board: FL-22, NH-01 (I can’t believe it), NY-24, and IN-09.
11:01PM: More pickups! NC-11, FL-16, CT-05, PA-10, AZ-08 and NY-20!
10:58PM: Gary Trauner is up by 51-45 with 51% reporting in WY-AL.
10:46PM: Oh yeah, and Joe Sestak (D) in PA-07 has been called, too. As an aside, this is a bizarre election.
10:36PM: Zack Space (D) won in OH-18, and did what Francine Busby couldn’t do in June. Atta boy!
10:24PM: I can’t believe it, but with 81% of the vote, Carol Shea-Porter (D) is edging Jeb Bradley by 900 votes!
10:19PM: Paul Hodes wins! He’s about to make a speech. WOW! AWESOME! Put NH-02 on the big board!
10:15PM: Boyda (D) could really do this thing. With 47% of precincts reporting, she’s up by 54-44 over Ryun.
10:05PM: With 27% reporting, Altmire (D) has 57 and Hart (R) has 43 in PA-04. This would be a stunning upset.
9:48PM: Keep your eye on KS-02, where Nancy Boyda (D) is leading Rep. Jim Ryun (R) by a 54-44 margin with 23% reporting.
9:29PM: CNN calls IN-02 for Joe Donnelly. Nice!
9:23PM: CNN calls Yarmuth! Alright! Put KY-03 up on the big board!
9:10PM: With 96% in, John Warmuth (D) is up by 51-48 and 6500 votes over Ann Northup in KY-03.
9:05PM: With 46% reporting, Carol Shea-Porter (D) and Rep. Jeb Bradley (R) are neck and neck at 50-50 each, with a 500 vote edge for Shea-Porter. No one thought this would be a close race. Holy smokes.
8:47PM: CNN is calling NJ-Sen for Menendez, but last I saw they had Kean leading. Weird. MA-Gov and OH-Gov also called for Dems.

Allen & Drake are leading in VB, afraid Kellam may be done for based on the returns. He’s running behind Webb. Webb is running somewhere btwn Kaine & Deeds performance which is not a bad sign. Deeds opponent in 05 was from Va Beach so Deeds did better elsewhere, but as you remember Deeds lost the race by only 323 votes. Webb won my old precinct which never goes Gop. Its high % of military families, middle-upper middle class but definitely military families. He’s doing well in midddle income military precincts which are more “bellweather”
And don’t even ask, it took me 2 hrs to vote!

From No VA – not as strong a turnout or as heavy as I’d like to see for Webb. From New Kent & Chesapeake those 2 bellweather precincts split one for Webb one for Allen. In Fairfax the bellweathers split 4 to Webb 3 to Allen.
Feder & Hurst won’t be moving in this time around.
Senate race will go down to the wire.

CNN.com just called it.
but certainly wish VA had gone differently. # bellweather growing rural counties: 2 for Webb (barely) one to Allen.
Gotta say it looks like the outstanding Precincts are not going to be enough to turn this for Webb. No Weed in Congress.

Was this called prematurely? 48% in and Steele leads by 12,000 votes. Hmmm…
Kellam did not make it but did come close, carrying Drake’s Norfolk segment of the District:
Feder didn’t make it:
Hurst didn’t make it:
Should have chosen another State to follow this was depressing 🙁
Precincts 212 & 413 are still out. they provided Kaine with a 400 vote margin in 2005. The Absentee Precincts (2) are still out, they provided Kaine with a + 610 votes in 2005. So that’s a thousand vote + possible for Webb. This may go down to a McDonnell 2005 level plurality, a couple of hundered votes.
Notice the wasted Green Party votes.
