Discussion: Dem Rep. Tammy Duckworth Projected To Unseat Sen. Mark Kirk In Illinois

There might be backlash, but I don’t know that this race is any indication. This is a blue state, she’s fairly popular, he’s very unpopular, and he ran a pretty ugly campaign against her. His asinine comments in the last debate didn’t help either.

I hate seeing HO getting any votes. EC or otherwise.
I’m feeling rather disturbed at this point in the night.
CNN is saying HO may have a chance in Virginia… Geesh!
And Florida is way too close for my comfort.

Alright! Now that’s more like it. Congrats to the new Senator from Illinois. Senator Tammy Duckworth!

Yeah…and I just realized the Rubio makes an argument against that idea. I have to ask it because it occurs to me but don’t flame me: did Rubio up ballot save Trump in FL.

As I said…don’t bite my head off haha…I just want to be first with that question since it occurred to me.

I certainly hope not, but it is possible.

CNN is saying a lot of stupid things tonight. I think just to give them something to talk about.

Indeed…but I have to do CNN for the amusement. Plus, as I said somewhere else, John King does a decent job with the county by county thing.

Unless he gets too excited about some number. Then he talks so fast one could think he just did a big bump backstage.

Just as the Correspondents’ Dinner is Emmy Night for politicians, Election Night is Emmy Night for talking heads on the teevee machine.

why isn’t there a single thread for the election night, like we had for the debates? I need a sane place to talk to political junkies that gets you don’t have to react to every freaking time MSNBC or CNN tries to make you jump with their alerts

To say that man is as dumb as a box of rocks is to greatly insult the intellectual capacity of rocks.

They have to keep the horserace going until 11pm Eastern.

Not one big state has been called and added to the columns.

She got NY
Lost tx
probably AZ and looking like Florida too

Lets hope that Hillary really works on promoting more courageous and qualified women for the Senate. Democratic guys don’t always do such a smart of job of picking candidates to run against the misogyny inside the Republican Party.

IL and NY have been called for Clinton, TX has been called for Trump.
