All the talking is done, today is the voting, tomorrow is the spinning. Discuss! ------- FWIW, I voted about 8 AM this morning, there was absolutely no line and I was in and out in 5 minutes. In 2008 I waited a good 20 minutes to vote.

The war on terror is a cover for access to the hundreds of billions of barrels of oil in the Middle East." That makes the most obvious sense.
i noticed two things - a campaigner for our Republican challenger for the house offering candy at 8:15 AM to a little girl walking with her mom to the entrance. The mom looked at him with an "are you freaking crazy" look. - no "I voted" stickers this year due to county budget cuts.
Pollster's final prediction - 48 house seat gain for the GOP and an 86% chance that the Democrats retain the Senate (they have it at 48-46 with 4 undecided).
My Prediction: 70 plus House Seats go GOP. 10 Senate Seats go GOP. See you after its over. Enjoy watching our country find its voice at last.
Obama's first all-by-his-lonesome budget, btw, calls for a $1.17 trillion deficit.
i've now gotten 4 calls and one knock on my door from our Dem. Rep's campaign today. They visited our home 3 other times in the last week. Meanwhile, we got one door hanging in the same time from the Republican challenger, and this is a district that flipped to the Democrats in 2008 after 14 years of GOP control. --- EDIT - just got call #5 from the Democrats campaign.
Election night spin bingo card: first round of calls based on exit polling: Arkansas: Boozman (R) defeats Lincoln (D) Ohio: Portman (R) defeats Fisher (D) North Dakota: Hoeven (R) defeats Potter (D) Wisconsin: Johnson (R) defeats Feingold (D)
-----------------------------------------------------------
Pence, Burton, and Rogers declared winners of House seats in Indiana and Kentucky by Politico. All Republicans. Rand Paul up by 10% with .4% of the vote in.
70 plus House Seats go GOP. 10 Senate Seats go GOP. See you after its over. Enjoy watching our country find its voice at last. 62 GOP gains in the House 8 GOP gains in the Senate
Never swear "allegiance" to anything other than the 'right to change your mind'!
PAUL WINS: The AP has called the Kentucky Senate race for Rand Paul.
Never swear "allegiance" to anything other than the 'right to change your mind'!
LUNTZ CALLS IT FOR REID: GOP polling guru Frank Luntz is predicting Republicans will win seven Senate seats and 50 House spots, based on exit polls he had seen. On a conference call with associates from K Street, Luntz also said he thinks Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid will win reelection. http://www.politico.com/hp/wbarchive/whiteboard11022010.html
Never swear "allegiance" to anything other than the 'right to change your mind'!
The networks have called Sen Dan Coats (R) the winner of the Indiana Senate race; that is the first GOP pickup
Never swear "allegiance" to anything other than the 'right to change your mind'!
Luntz is frequently wrong. His "focus groups" are stacked.
Leahy declared winner in VT. First blue spot on map (D).
Hoping you are right. I want Reid the hell out of the leadership, if not the Senate.
Never swear "allegiance" to anything other than the 'right to change your mind'!
GOP strong in IN2, IN8 and IN9 - could be the first seats to go to the GOP tonight in the race for the House
Never swear "allegiance" to anything other than the 'right to change your mind'!
# House results: VA5 Robert Hurt (R) leads Rep Tom Perriello (D) 56-42%; Rep Rick Boucher (D) trails 54-43 in VA 9 4 minutes ago via TweetDeck 4% in from Florida Senate - Rubio 43%, Crist 39%, Meek 16% 6 minutes ago via TweetDeck 38% in from KY6 and Rep Ben Chandler (D) leads Andy Barr (R) 52-47; Rep John Yarmuth (D) up 52-46% in KY3 9 minutes ago via TweetDeck DEMS strong in Kentucky still, leading in both KY3 and KY6; Rand Paul (R) already declared Senate winner in KY
Never swear "allegiance" to anything other than the 'right to change your mind'!
I predict the Republicans will pick up 70 seats in the house. The Senate will be divided 51 49 either way.
In Florida, Republican Dan Webster is up big over Rep Alan Grayson (D) 63-29% with 6% of the vote in
Never swear "allegiance" to anything other than the 'right to change your mind'!
Allen West(R) is up by 10% in FL.
Nate Silver: more exit polls: Coons beats O'Donnell in Delaware
# IN8 and IN9 still trending for the GOP 1 minute ago via TweetDeck INDIANA turnaround - Rep Joe Donnelly (D) has fought back to lead by 2,000 votes with 55% in from IN2 1 minute ago via TweetDeck No Red Tide in Kentucky House races, as Dems hold KY3 (Rep Yarmuth); KY6 very close, as Rep Chandler leads 51-49 2 minutes ago via TweetDeck GOP leading in VA2 (Nye), VA5 (Perriello), VA9 (Boucher), VA11 (Connolly) 3 minutes ago via TweetDeck In FL24, Sandy Adams (R) has early lead over Rep Suzanne Kosmas (D); Alan Grayson down 57-37% in FL8 4 minutes ago via TweetDeck GA2 gives early lead to Mike Keown(R) over Rep Sanford Bishop 55-44%; Rep Jim Marshall (D) trailing in GA early 4 minutes ago via TweetDeck AP also declaring Chris Coons the winner in the Delaware Senate race 6 minutes ago via TweetDeck Networks declaring Marco Rubio (R) the winner of the Florida Senate race 6 minutes ago via TweetDeck 22% in Florida Governor's race and Rick Scott (R) leads Alex SInk (D) 51-45% 10 minutes ago via TweetDeck 44% in from VA5 as Rep Tom Perriello (D-VA) is losing 54-43%; 27% in VA9 where Rep Rick Boucher (D) trails 52-45 10 minutes ago via TweetDeck Bottom Line right now - GOP winning seats in Indiana, Florida, Virginia, North Carolina - good early signs for them
Never swear "allegiance" to anything other than the 'right to change your mind'!
538's model is up to a 57 seat gain - Boucher losing in Virginia is bad news for the Democrats, he has held that seat for something like 20 years. Mike Castle's seat in DE goes to the Democrats.
Iott (the Nazi re-enactor) loses in Ohio, despite a recent appearance by John Boehner on his behalf.
Wayyyy too early, but could Badeye's nightmare come true?
39 more for control.
Democrat John Lynch retains the NH Governor's mansion
FL-24 goes to the GOP, GOP now +1 overall.
Boozman wins AR Senate, 2nd GOP pickup.
Manchin up 11 in WV with 10% in.
Blumenthal Bests McMahon For Conn. Senate Seat
Never swear "allegiance" to anything other than the 'right to change your mind'!
Machin wins WV Senate. Ayotte wins NH Senate
CNN exit poll in PA has Toomey up 51-49, within the margin of error.
As of now, GOP up 2 in the Senate, but control is almost out of reach. GOP up 5 in the House. 538 model shows 55-56 gain.
Manchin wins WV. So what's he going to do when he gets to the Senate since he had to win by throwing the Kenyan under the bus and he is a lame duck up for another election in 2 years? Do you think Obama will be inviting him on stage for teleprompter celebrations?

O.K., here's a sign that tonight might not be an apocalypse for Democrats: the Kentucky Third District, where John Yarmuth, a Democrat, had been favored but the polling had been erratic, has been called for him. The other vulnerable Democrat in Kentucky, Ben Chandler, is also leading so far in Kentucky's Sixth District. Even though Rand Paul has won the Senate race in Kentucky, I'm not sure he didn't hurt the G.O.P. at the margins down ballot.

Who's to blame for the economy? Bankers (34%), Bush (29%), Obama (24%). Of those who blame bankers, Republicans hold an 11 point advantage.
