There's one in NY and one in Nevada today IIRC.

Results coming in from NY district 9. Looks like the GOP will win.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

GOP's gonna win ours too by a landslide if the early voting numbers are any indication. Also, the polls were deserted when I went.

Not really surprising.  Weiner's district has a lot of Russian immigrants, and as a group they are virulently Republican.

Amodei over Marshall 50-37. GOP win. This seat has never in history been held by a Dem.

I can't shake the feeling that I've already done the "Isn't every election in America a special election?" joke.

The Republicans looked into the Russians eyes and got a sense of their souls.

Zmiinyi defenders: "Russian warship, go fuck yourself."

QuoteAs democracy is perfected, the office of president represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people. On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart's desire at last and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron.
