Election Night notes pt 3

One bright note... Cruella DeVille (Katherine Harris) went down in flames, losing to Bill Nelson roughtly 38 to 60%

See ya. Guess you pushed the payoff for your work for the Bushies in 2000 a bit too far and they threw you under the bus. Couldn't have happened to a better person.

Like TBOGG said, I'd pay to see her concession speech. Wonder if she'll have a full-blown crack-up on stage or manage to hold it together.

JUST IN.... Making this a near perfect night for the Dope, the sleazy self-obsessed blow-hard J.D. Hayworth got his butt handed to him in Arizona's 5th 51-46%. I only pray he doesn't turn up as a pundit, but he no doubt will as he certainly considers himself quite the matinee idol.

Dems one seat away from majority in the House.

Webb vs Allen in Virginia is going to be a huge mess. Too tight to call, likely recount, unless one or the other concedes.

Ford looks to go down to Corker

With half the vote in for Missouri, McCaskill is trailing Talent by 6 points, 45 to 51%

Judge Vicki Wright continues to hold her lead over Powers

Trib reports with 1371 of 1591 Precincts Reporting

Wright 212,310 53%
Powers 189,057 47%

Money isn't everything... thank goodness.

10:51 P.M.
MSNBC projecting a 32 seat pickup for Dems in House. CNN has it at 20 and counting.

Can you say "WAVE"..... as in a tidal wave for Dems, and wave bye-bye for Republicans?

11:02 P.M.

Amazingly, Braley is whomping on Whalen (good call bringing in Cheney, eh?)
With 71% in, CNN has Braley 56%, Whalen 43%

And more good news in Iowa, with 69% in, Nussle trails Culver 44% to 55%

With 73% in, Topinka creeping up on Blago, 40% to 49%

With 78% in, Tammy Duckworth is losing by a tiny margin, 49% to 51%. Hope she pulls through, but she's trailed all night by a small margin.

With 88%, Ford is still battling Corker in Tennesee and closing the gap, 48% to 51%

BIG shocker in Virginia, Webb has just took lead for first time in the entire night, with 99% reporting, CNN has Webb at 50%, Allen at 49%. The numbers were reversed only a half hour ago.

LEACH GETS CAUGHT IN TSUNAMI!

CNN reports with 72% of vote in that long time incumbant Jim Leach is running behind Dem challenger Dave Loebsack 49 to 51% with a 4000 vote margin. Amazing!
