2010 Midterm Election - * * * O P E N T H R E A D * * *

[telemann.livejournal.com]

Open thread for following the election results tonight. Several states results maybe cliff hangers and go into recounts (e.g. Washington, Nevada, and Alaska). It should be a wild and bumpy ride tonight. And of course, you're welcomed to participate in a live chat on Efnet IRC #talk_politics. Efnet org has an easy java script client to join the channel, or use other clients.

First bit of news: ABC News has fired Andrew Brietbart from its election coverage tonight.

6:49 PM - A.P. calls first races

The Associated Press reports that three Republicans -- Hal Rogers of Kentucky and Mike Pence and Dan Burton of Indiana -- will win a trip to Washington, D.C., to serve in the 112th Congress. All were overwhelming favorites, but Republicans are up 3-0 so far.

That's not true, only The Other Guy is a lying sackoshit.

Like we don't have our very own circus animals. I should post some on that sometime.

[a-new-machine.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I was under the impression that it was going to be a closer race.

Are any of these seat gains for Repubs, BTW?

Re: 6:49 PM - A.P. calls first races

[the-rukh.livejournal.com]

That's going to provide plenty of lulz for a couple years.

No, they were uncontested.

RAND PAUL WINS!!! A great win for the TEA PARTY WAHOOO!!! Time to go headstomp some leftists!!

Since O'Donnell lost, I wonder if that means Murkowski also wins? Either way, given Palin was entirely responsible for nominating O'Donnell, she's just taken a major hit as a political force. :-).

Yeah, Witchypoo was so crazy, even Sarah couldn't help that thing recover from those Bill Maher tapes from the 1990s.

[underlankers.livejournal.com]

All the same, given she lost the Republicans what should have been an easy seat, good-bye Palinistas. :-).

Linda McMahon (R) loses in Connecticut!

But us members of the great unwashed electorate RESPOND to negative ads! It must be true; all the PR pundits say so!

[devil-ad-vocate.livejournal.com]

Now Palin has O'Donnell available for the VP slot in 2012. O'Donnell will be in the White House when Sarah goes home to her fish gutting job in 2014.

We have only four years left to spank the monkey.
