Megyn Kelly looks radiant tonight.

Rachel Maddow too.

For the third straight election, a "Personhood Amendment" is resoundingly rejected in Colorado.  If the Colorado GOP spent their energies on other things, think what they'd accomplish.

They did. Legalizing pot.

Not up on the details of the colorado pot legalization, but I wonder if the GOP may not have been the driving force behind that.

  C'mon, it's Election Night.  These political junkies don't get any more moist than this.  My man Chris Matthews is knocking over lampshades with his hard-on.  I think he actually concussed Ed Rendell, who is still on the floor behind the stage desk.

Ed's down on Florida, looking for brats.  There are none to be found.

Of all the drugs.    I mean, really now.  What a dirtball drug.

I am pretty sure the very best running backs in history use that wondrous drug.

Cuome keeps his governorship. His Rep adversary, Astorino, made such weird tv ads. Atleast in upstate NY.

I voted for Cuomo.

Gillespie falls down by 0.1% as the 99th percent of precincts report. 

That has to be such a tease for him. Come in as a longshot, grab a lead and hold it all night, only to fall short by something like 0.1%.

What race is that Dorsey?

You better hope not, because I'm not sure the current sheriff in your town is going to be as cool with that as the last one was.

Virginia.

GOP on track to hold House majority

[alfred russel]

So an interesting dynamic in Georgia, where there is a senate and governor's race.

The Senate is Sam Nunn's daughter vs. a rather unattractive businessman (on the record saying his career was about outsourcing jobs).
The Governor's race is Jimmy Carter's son vs. an incumbent governor who is kind of meh.

Zell Miller, our democratic senator that strongly endorsed Bush, backed Nunn and the incumbent governor.

So just looking at the people in the race, the Senate race is the one that should be close (Sam Nunn was popular here, Carter not very much anymore). But right now, the governor's race is closer.

I think it goes to show voters are voting party in the senate races and less so the candidates, at least in Georgia.

from 538:

11:11 PM It's Just ... About ... Over
Republicans' chances of winning the Senate are now 99 percent, based on the ABC News projection that Republican David Perdue has won in Georgia without a runoff and Republican Pat Roberts has won in Kansas.
