03:21 - Minnesota will probably have a recount or two, but here's a final reaction from me:
FSM-Dammit, anyhoo...
I'm just sayin'
02:05 - How can news outlets be getting vote info faster than the MN SoS? Keeping in mind that there's no reason at all to believe exit polling...
01:00 - Again with the DNT Livebloggery:
12:54 Cautionary note on those results - I believe we're still waiting to hear from most if not all of St. Louis County
12:54 Minnesota House
District 8
393 of 804 precincts - 49 percent
Chip Cravaack, GOP 68,166 - 48 percent
James Oberstar, Dem (i) 66,937 - 47 percent
Timothy Olson, Inp 6,012 - 4 percent
Two quick posts on his blog and he manages to cause me to hiccup...FUN!
00:34 - Duluth News Tribune election night liveblog:
12:25
[Comment From David: ]
The CNN numbers still only indicate that 22% of Saint Louis County has been counted. I'm thinking that the race will swing in Oberstars favor once more of St. Louis County is added, but can't be certain. if the 22% is Duluth or Chisholm, or Hibbing, then the rest of the county may be closer.
I refuse to cross my fingers, but here's hoping!
00:11 - Not very visible, but visible enough! A merry prankster hold up what should be Michele Batshi*t's new book - Going Crazy - up next to her head!
Again, I apologize for the MN 6th...
23:46 - Between this and work, work takes priority, of course. The mystery that is Sharron Angle will, apparently, remain a mystery, it seems. Congratulations to Harry in any case!!
23:39 - It's not really fair, but it's true that whatever little respect I had for the cheeseheads walked out at the same time Russ Feingold was defeated tonight.
23:25 - There's little like the work intermission to wrap up a few more of the Minnesota precincts, is there?
So as it stands now, Mark Dayton has a 8-point lead. That's good.
James Oberstar has a 126-vote lead with approximately 30k votes! Yike!
And, in Chuck's interests, Tim Walz continues to surprise with a 6-point lead.
So far, so good, I guess. Right now I can only hope that Lindstrom-area precincts have reported and the range area has yet to relay their information, as has happened in prior elections.
I admit that the MN 8th race will continue to hold my interest tonight.
What else could be going on, after all........
Travel Intermission
20:58 - twitter won't even come up on the screen right now...I don't know if I'll be able to post this, but it's time to get ready for work now...
20:45 - First look at MN 8th District results (with 0.87% reporting) has James L. Oberstar with a 21.5% lead! Woot!
20:42 - Any guesses on the subject of the deposition?
20:29 - And now according to @CNNLive, Rubio is a governor...
20:24 - Have I been bamboozled by the RNC? For this long?
"Democrats still have a great shot," RNC chair #Tim #Kainesays.
20:24 - Reason #546 (I can never make it as a politician because:) The gagging/choking sounds would give my feelings away whenever I attempted to invoke their god...
20:09 - I was going to listen to RAND PAUL's delusional idiocy, but I looked at my options and took a **** instead. Followed up quickly with a silent thanks to the FSM for never living anywhere near KY...
20:05 - Cripes! I just realized that Minnesota polls are closing now! I'm wondering who would really have the best results other than the SoS official website...
19:49 - Remember what Yellow Dog said:
Jim Inhofe said just last week that republicans would pick up 14 seats in the Senate. Back in the summer, House minority whip John Boehner predicted that repugs would pick up 100 Democratic seats in the House of Representatives.
It would seem that the election has been a massive failure for the GOPers, wouldn't it?
19:40 - I realize that there's not supposed to be any good news tonight, but West Virginia and Connecticut did good things, dang it!
19:33 - Blanche never got to as good at being a republican as an actual GOPer...
19:25 - And now the crappy satellite internet is getting crappy & spotty...and @Kirkrrt is apparently lost in GA:
I don't know where I am.
The punchline, of course, has to be the google map linked to his tweet...
19:11 - Dammit, Georgia!!
19:09 - Has someone started the stopwatch for how long it will take FOX to sign the witch? Or me or whomever she is today?
18:59 - A bright note? Even Indiana can't tolerate a nazi, according to Tom:
Nazi uniform guy loses.
18:53 - Over an hour to go here in Minnesota and it's frustrating to continue to watch the zeroes on the MN SOS site...
18:49 - Getting the DISCLOSE Act would be nice dream but it will remain a dream for now...
18:29 - The joke at some point would be that I picked the wrong day to quit drinking. Still a funny joke when you're watching Airplane!, I admit, but I also have to admit that nights like this would have really popped my brain...
18:21 - I would like to point out (with a bit of pride, actually!) that I haven't called anyone a jackass yet tonight, regardless of a number of tremendous jackasses around...
18:12 - Larry!!!
18:10 - Wow. Fineman tells us that RAND PAUL will continue to be a petulant brat as a senator. It's amazing!!
18:01 - RAND PAUL gets to continue embarrassing KY for six years...
17:40 - Wouldn't you like a nice sticker like this?
I'm going to be grumpy, however, and tell you to get you own...
17:17 - Why should this kid have a job like this...?
16:59 - I just caught myself giggling as Tweety talked about "getting stuff done..."
The only thing done with a GOPer House is attempting investigation and multiple attempts to get Obama to testify to anything under oath...
16:39 - Not Minnesota Nice:
According to one complaint posted on the site by a volunteer, a poll worker in St. Paul told a Hispanic voter, "I think everyone should have to show their ID at the polls." Minnesota does not require voters to show ID cards at the polls, but conservative activists have been lobbying to push such a law by raising fears that non-citizens would try to steal elections.
Mini-Fascists making their own law and killing America step by step...
With thanks to @SuzyKhimm!
16:28 - I wish I could get excited about Senate races this early, but Minnesota's skipping that bother this year.
Of course, I will soon wish some loser idiots would just shut up...
16:10 - Goodgawdahmighty, the good news begins as I start the daily perusing! ABC News decides to violate Andrew's right for the good of the many...
16:04 - Due to the nature of the day's events, this will be a rolling entry as things start to happen. All times are CST.
