ACA had nothing to do with this election, as much as Cuc tried to make it such
The federal shutdown had nothing to do with this election, as much as McA tried to make it such.

Some of the pundits will claim this was "national-bellweather' type election.. .but honestly, there was nothing national about it. (Again, as noted, gov - D, lt Gov - D, Atty Gen - R, House - R, Senate - near even split).

Not by precinct it shouldn't, Niner.

Watch how many precincts report in each county report and when. It will stay at zero for the number of precincts reporting. And while there are more precincts in larger population areas yes, but as least _some_ of those precincts should be reporting results.

John, this is the same person that sent a "factory" to mississippi to build instead of building it in Virginia? (but we all know how well that crap-deal worked out). I dunno, i'd probably call that a jackass of a person.

Old school Republican versus Tea Party guy in one of the most conservative districts in the country.

It should be a decent test of whether the Tea Party can make things interesting.

83% reporting in Alabama CD-1 and the Tea Party guy is down 8%. Doubt he will win.

if the quotes attributed to this Young guy are true, I'm surprised it's even as close as it is.

Byrne is a douchebag of epic proportions.

and there you have it.....

maybe there is hope for the cons in 2016

Well I think the wives being suburdinate to their husbands and Jer Jer not finding one blackie voting in his whole county obviously had an effect here. I mean his buddies on facebook mentioned how darkie stayed away from the voting booth. I hope that comes out in some of these post election polls. The Darkman stayed home and the bible belt came out for THE COOCHER. That's the straight by Jerry Falwell.

Sarvis went down 4%. He was pulling higher than 10% last week. Some women must have gotten OFF THE PILL and started riding the sensible train once again. They came home to the Cooch.

McAuliffe tried to make this about social issues. Cuccinelli tried to make it about Obamacare.
What does that say to republicans about running on social conservatism?

Only do it when you know it'll pay off?

They called Alabama CD-1 for Byrne, normal Republican. The Tea Party guy, Young, says he won't call Byrne because he won't support him in the actual election.

Have any of the GOP/Libertarian leaning folks here in swing states/counties tried to join your local committees and influence the state party where you live? From NY to AL to CO, i've found it nearly impossible to break into the party hierarchy.

Voted for Sarvis, if he wasn't a candidate I would've voted for McAuliffe. I never thought that Sarvis would win, only hoped he'd get 10%, which would have meant that Libertarians would've been guaranteed on the ballot until the early 2020's, which would at least stir the pot a bit. Oh well.

Cooch is just way too far to the right for me.
