Hagan ahead of Tillis 56-42 with 8% reporting

Louisiana has a jungle primary. If no candidate gets 50%+1, the top two have a run-off Dec 6. If Mary gets less the 50% now, she will be sunk in December.

Libertarians playing spoiler again? They are bleeding votes from the Corporatists... where's Reince Bulbus? ...lol

North Carolina Senate - do they have runoffs in that state?

Currently, Hagan is just under 50%, Tillis around 47%, and the Libertarian is pulling a very respectable 3%.

[RPfan1992]

Tied in NC now on google.

[georgiaboy]

Nailbiter in NC.

Not gonna surprise me if Tillis loses, he's so lame. If it goes to a runoff, he may well also lose that to Hagan. Obviously the conservatives are pissed and protesting by voting for Haugh the Libertarian -- good for them.

Interesting little tidbit - Robert Sarvis has apparently won a county in Virginia (King George). Not a big county, but not one of the smallest ones either. First time I can remember a Libertarian Party candidate winning a county outright in a Senate race.

What's funny is that I know a few libertarians who aren't voting for Haugh. So a good portion of his votes are in pure protest.

(My pure anecdotal opinion.)

I know Udall was at least good on the NSA - although probably terrible on most economic related issues and limiting the size of government. I don't know much about either. Is this a good pickup for us or is Gardner pure establishment and we lost an ally on civil liberties/NSA.

The TV is just reporting the raw results. Drudge is reporting the projection. You can be winning the vote total and still have the race called for your opponent if you are underperforming relative to what is expected. For example, the major population center of a state that normally votes D by 30 points is all tallied and the D is only winning by 15 points then it is safe to assume the D is going to get crushed.

The other Udall (NM) is up so far.

I'm not seeing that yet. I'm expecting a runoff, which will probably give it to Tillis eventually, but I'm not seeing a win yet tonight.

It shouldn't have been within 20 points. The Obama Effect is devastating to the Democratic Party, it's absolutely killing them. And if you think it's bad now, wait until "executive amnesty" comes around.

dont think NC had a run off in general but i dunno

in the primary it was only 40%

[devil21]

Tillis won? Wow. Dems were really weak.

A couple of Tillis' late ads really messed Hagan up. The ads about her husband getting stimulus money and an ad showing Hagan criticizing Elizabeth Dole for "doing nothing but voting along with the President" (GWB) put him over the top. The libertarian candidate is doing historically well but probably didn't swing the election.

No run-off in the general in NC.

Yeah, this was my thought too. Udall was good on the NSA stuff, like Ron Wyden.

Looks like my predictions were right on target. Angus King will flip to the new majority leaving Democrats in control of 45 seats (44 if NH also flips, 43 if they somehow manage to lose NM or VA).

Both of them have broken so many laws it will be trivial to deal with them, just set a prosecutor loose on their butts. And short of that, the line-item veto will take care of all their pet projects. Neither one will have leverage.

As usual, Marxist progressives love to segregate, group, and divide... but it was true. Should of called Scott Brown, "Mitt Romney Jr."

Maddow jusr forgot to mention Martha Coakley loosing twice, to two men, in two Massachusetts political races.

I sure hope no one is being romanticized by this result tonite. More statists with a different letter next to their names have moved around the musical chairs. I recognize that it helps Rand, at least, but don't expect any grand shifts in the agenda. It'll just be packaged with wording that appeals to a different political demographic but is still the same agenda of more gov't, more spending, more warmaking, more banker love, and less Constitutional adherence.

The argument that the two parties should represent opposed ideals and policies, one, perhaps, of the Right and the other of the Left, is a foolish idea acceptable only to doctrinaire and academic thinkers. Instead, the two parties should be almost identical, so that the American people can ‘throw the rascals out’ at any election without leading to any profound or extensive shifts in policy” (Georgetown Jesuit University Professor Carroll Quigley, Tragedy and Hope, 1966.

[Christian Liberty]

On the bright side, this sets the stage for President Rand Paul to have a very friendly Congress to work with to set things right again.

You think Republicans will be friendly to Rand? I doubt it. Half of them will secretly (or even not so secretly) back Hillary over Rand.
