Not so fast on Dino in WA. He was up pretty good with a big chunk of the vote counted. Now it's suddenly flipped to his opponent.

Don't remember seeing Dino ever ahead. But no matter, the 8th is going to a Democrat for the first time ever. So many foreigners moved into the district, I doubt it will ever be Red again. Sad.

Looks like Kansas, Michigan, and Wisconsin will all have Democrat governors.

Walker ran a shittier Gov campaign than he did for Pres.

Democrats flip two GOP-held congressional districts in Texas
Republicans still hold the majority of congressional seats in the state, but Democratic gains in Texas are helping the national party as it appears poised to gain control of the U.S. House.
BY EDGAR WALTERS, KATHRYN LUNDSTROM AND ANDREW EVERSDEN NOV. 6, 2018  1 HOUR AGO

[TX-7 and TX-32...nearly lost TX-31, too]

With the Dems controlling the House, their Resistance Movement goes into hyperdrive.  There is no way they will cooperate with the Trump Administration on anything.  Expect government shutdowns, and the rhetoric will be amped up by a factor of 5x or maybe 10x. 

Thought you heard Waters before, just wait until you see that bimbo in the news on a daily basis.

Rep. Will Hurd distanced himself from Trump and became the first congressman to win re-election in TX-23 in 8 years.

Did he really? LOL. Who the eff would say that running for office? House races are a trip. Everything is local.

I'm not even sure, he lost.

Yes!  At least we are winning on initiative.  Carbon tax goes down and so does possibilities of taxes on food items. (sugar)

Unfortunately it looks like the gun legislation is going to pass.
AG William Barr: "I'm recused from that matter because one of the law firms that represented Epstein long ago was a firm that I subsequently joined for a period of time."

Alexander Acosta Labor Secretary resigned under pressure concerning his "sweetheart deal" with Jeffrey Epstein.  He was under consideration for AG after Sessions was removed, but was forced to resign instead.

Absolute see-saw with Walker and Evers, at 96% precincts reporting, Walker fell behind but came back with 97% reporting, too tight and maybe a recount, it is so close?

Wisconsin has 4 other candidates running for governor, libertarian wth 19,000 votes, greens with 10,000, another candidate, independent with 17,000 votes, That's a lot of votes for a close race like this ..Walker up by 1500 it looks like, 97% precincts reporting

You have to realize just like in the North East and other Liberal enclaves that all the sensible people left. Maine went full Rat. NY went full Rat. Cali has been for some time. There is no one left there to inject sensibilities.
