He's down 10,000 votes and catching up, but the exit polling doesn't look good.

he was down around 8% for most of the night... now he is only a half point behind with over half the vote left to be counted.

Denver is only 50% tallied, and it leans heavily democrat.

Update: Another nailbiter in Colorado: After trailing by three, Buck is now within one with 67 percent reporting. Even better, 71 percent of Denver’s Democratic county has reported while plenty of rural red ones are just coming in.

Yeah, Denver is mostly in. The biggest Republican stronghold hasn't reported. GOP picks up eight in the Senate, I predict. 6 now, plus Washington and Colorado.

Where are you seeing denver mostly in? Im seeing about 50% in for Denver and Boulder, two populated liberal strongholds.

That's still more than the overall state, and the big GOP stronghold (El Paso County) only has 17%. Furthermore, Buck is winning in Boulder County, which is the other Democrat stronghold.

Just crossing all the counties, the heaviest Democratic counties are all have heavier reporting than Republicans. If I gave an average, it would have to be that 40-45% of Republican counties have reported, while 55-60% of Democratic counties have.

Woohoo!

What's up with all the leftist mainstream media calling many western races for Dems with only a small percent of the votes in? Wishful thinking on their part?

Nah, I think the West coast outside of (possibly) Washington, which has one of the strongest liberty activist core in the country, is a total loss. I think the people out there (I'm in Virginia right now) have lost it for the most part. They seemed to be gaining back some sort of sanity in a couple of states, but I seriously think they have lost it outside of a few corners.

So if Buck and one of Miller and Rossi win, the reps will have 8, right?

Miller is a hold for the GOP, a gain for the Tea Party. The GOP will hold Alaska no matter what. The question is if we have a RINO or a conservative.

dems have to lose 4 more seats and there are only 4 races left-
nevada
colorado
washington
alaska

at best, the gop will only pick up 3 of those, it looks like the odds are on them only picking up 2 of them.

That's right. I forgot for a second. So even with a miracle in Nevada there will be at most 9. Oh well. Hope at least the house passes a repeal of obamacare as training.

There would have to be two miracles, CA and NV, as well as CO and WA (which look like likely GOP gains). Remember, Joe Biden would break the tie at 50-50.
