That’s two pick ups for the Democrats so far: Democrat Rep. Sherrod Brown will be the new senator for Ohio, joining Sen. Bob Casey from Pennsylvania. Neither was a nail-biter, however.
Sen. Menendez won in New Jersey. Looking bad for Harold Ford in Tennessee.
NBC is calling the senate race in Pennsylvania for Bob Casey Jr.
Buh-bye Katherine Harris. Thanks for all the fun.
Forget the midterm elections, here’s something really important: Britney Spears has filed for divorce from Kevin Federline.
Gotta love the classic PR tactic: Release your bad news while another huge story is dominating the headlines. (That’s why she pays them the big bucks.)
NEW YORK (CNN) …[F]ormer “first daughter” Chelsea Clinton… turned up shortly after 6 a.m. at her polling site on West 20th Street — in the Chelsea neighborhood of Manhattan — only to be told her name was not in the voter registration books there, a voting official said.
It turned out the registration book for her district had been mistakenly sent to the wrong location, said New York City Board of Elections Executive Director John Ravitz.
She filed an affidavit vote — a paper ballot that allows election workers to confirm that a voter is properly registered after their vote is cast. If the voter is not registered, the vote is not accepted.
Hope they are all angry Dems:
Reports from around Virginia early Tuesday indicated an extraordinarily high turnout for a midterm election, with perhaps 65 percent of registered voters expected to cast ballots, state elections officials said. That would double the midterm turnout in 2002.
As Stephanie Miller said, even voting machines recoil from Rep. Jean Schmidt of Ohio.
If you didn’t know he was kidding…
In one of the most stunning November surprises in recent memory, the Republican Party today declared its unequivocal support for a constitutional amendment legalizing same-sex massage…
“This constitutional amendment defines massage as a rub-down between a man and a man, one of whom may or may not be selling crystal meth,” Mr. Rove said.
The same-sex massage amendment was not the only Hail Mary pass thrown by a Republican on Election Day, as Virginia senate candidate George Allen attempted to close the gender gap in his race by announcing that he was a woman.
Mr. Allen, who did not know he was Jewish until earlier this year, said he made a similar discovery about his gender on the eve of the midterm election.
“When I discovered that I was a woman after all of these years of believing I was a man, all I could think was, ‘Oy,'” Mr. Allen said.
In the diplomatic ranks, trained professionals toil,
To keep the peace and tamp down foreign turmoil.
But for Greek ambassador,
Trump picked an artful dodger —
The grifting, drunken blackmailer Kimberly Guilfoyle.
