Local TV in Iowa is calling it for Joni. Hope they're right!
KCRG in Cedar Rapids hasn't called it yet but Earnst has gone from down 30k votes (basically only the major/liberty precincts reporting) to now being up 20-25K with about 50% reporting and pretty much only red precincts left.

They haven't "called it" here but they've called it
WHO TV in Des Moines called it for her first.

Fox just called it for Joni. :nod: :clap:

Oh for Pete's sake. They're from all over the place. Many of them are there because they come from all over the place to work in the Washington DC area. They're either working for the Federal Government in some "headquarters" unit or they're contractors or something doing business there. They have no real attachment to Virginia. They're not really part of the true Virginia culture. Again: You know what I'm talking about.

Could Hogan (R) become the Maryland governor? Up 53%-45% over Brown, the current lieutenant governor, with 69% of the votes in (up by 120,000 votes). Lots of what is left is the DC suburbs

This is all just another case of donks believing their own drivel if they repeat it enough times....unfortunately for them, no matter how many times they say it, it appears the rumors of the death of the Republican Party have been greatly exaggerated...

Joni is now up over 60k votes with 63% reporting and growing at a staggering rate

You can bank that shit.

CNN might not want to admit it but it's fucking over.

Braley got his ass fucking handed to him.


Oh, and Bruce is yet to be sighted at his headquarters tonight. :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

To continue on Hatch's lack of audience during his concession speech - they didn't even bother to put up Hatch for governor signs up when he did it. He did it infront of Braley for Senate signs.

Oh, KCRG just showed a shot of that headquarters - there is maybe 12 people there...maybe.

She then fed them to him right after doing so.

I'm not really sure I can describe to people from outside this state how big of an ass kicking this result really is.

CNN finally calls IA. Repubs up to 52 seats, will get at least 53 when the LA runoff is held. 54 if they get Alaska.

No matter what anyone says, this was a Republican tidal wave. Dem squandered a super majority 6 years ago and now hold no power in Congress. :lol:

So every local media outlet, Fox, AP, ABC, NBC, etc.. all call it but you don't believe it until CNN calls it?

Looking at the counties still reporting Joni could win by the 7% the Des Register poll predicted last Saturday. :shock:

That was the channel I had on. :suspicious:
Knowing Repubs were going to regain the Senate, I wanted to see how CNN handled the situation. Wolf Blitzer didn't look too pleased. Jay Carney tried to play it off as "yeah we knew this would happen." :lol:

There are about 100000 ways to point how what Bruce fucked up but the one that makes me laugh the most is this

Braley tried to run on about 2 issues and the one he tried to trumpet the most was women's rights. Yep...he ran a nearly single issue campaign based on womens rights - AGAINST A WOMAN.

Oh...better yet, he did that all while paying his female staffers 59 cents on the dollar that he paid his male staffers.

KCRG (the news station that reaches the most homes in Eastern Iowa and is square in the heart of the most liberal part of the state) signs off for the night/election coverage BEFORE Braley gives his concession speech...HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

The pompous asshole deserves it

Tweet of the night that I've read is this

Braley's concession speech should just be a string of condescending comments about other blue collar jobs

Huge Republican day on the Governor side as well.

1 down thing for the Repubs is losing Pennylvania

Big (important) wins:
- Florida
- Massachusetts (good chance)
- Illinois
- Wisconsin
- Michigan
- Ohio
- Maryland (likely to win)

Never would have thought that a Republican would be leading all of those (some but not all).

Hogan wins! Truly amazing that a white male Republican could beat a black dem in the People's Republic.

Congrats 89! :clap: :thumb:

Holy Jesus. Here's a conversation that just took place at my work:

Me: Hey Cory, I saw that Larry Hogan won in Maryland. That's crazy, man!

Cory (a black man from Prince George's County, Maryland): Yeah, well Maryland needed it. They been hitting us with so many taxes.

Me: Oh, you voted for Hogan?

Cory: Nah man, I voted for Brown.

Me: Oh OK, gotcha.

I just walked away without pushing the absurdity of the conversation. :lol:
