Beshear & Mongiardo D 619,654 58.7% percent of the vote
Fletcher & Rudolph R 435,857 41.3% percent of the vote
The ethically challenged Gov. Ernie Fletcher gets tossed by a big margin. Democrats also win/retain AG, Treasurer, Auditor.
Also, State Auditor Crit Luallen is cruising to reelection with around 62% of the vote. All eyes will be on her soon to see if she jumps in the KY-Sen race against Mitch McConnell.
The Kentucky GOP had fought hard to dump Fletcher in favor of a former Rep. Anne Northup (who was canned in ’06). Now, what was previously unthinkable is now plausible: Minority Leader Sen. Mitch McConnell will face a top-shelf Democrat in ’08, and the Kentucky Dems will be fired up.
And in Virginia, Dems are poised to take the state senate.
Mississippi: GOP Gov. Barbour wins big. Unlike everyone else, Barbour held it together during Katrina. Benefit of low expectations to be sure, the race was never close.
That’s it for now. SF Mayor Gavin Newsom will likely win, as will Houston Mayor Bill White. I like both of them, especially Bill White. He’s going places. He’ll make a great Secretary of Commerce for the next Democratic president.
I won’t update for the rest of the night, so that’s it. Stay safe and don’t drive drunk.
not being mean or anything – but – Mitch McConnell is another big time right wing senate closet fag
and, some say, soon to be outed
just sayin’
Well, it certainly couldn’t happen to a more deserving guy.
Can you feel it slipping – wingnuts?
Unfortunately, even if the dems win everything by 83% or more, we’ll be hearing “election fraud” for the next decade, you know we will. These people have NO sense of decency.
Maybe the poop-scarfing mutt can put the ACVR on the case.
Oops that was a phony GOP front – nevermind.

Well if dems didn’t cheat they would have to hear it.
When KC donks are talking about elections in east coast states you know they have figured out they dont have enough fraudulent votes to overcome this state’s election. roof roof.

“Well if dems didn’t cheat they would have to hear it.”
Absolutely! The Repugs will whine like the little babies they are even though the Dems don’t cheat.
Well said mutt, there may be hope for ya!
Hey mutt, why don’t you scarf some of the French chef’s “poopon” – it’s what you curs do.
The night’s still young – the lights that are blinding you belong to an eighteen wheeler that’s about to turn you to roadkill.
Poor mutt.
Absolutely! The Repugs will whine like the little babies they are even though the Dems don’t cheat.
Dems never cheat??….hehehehe that will never happen.
Cheating! Oh for shame mutt! Where’s the ACVR when you need them?
Gone with the wind – the right wing bullshit wind breaking from your doggie ass.
The dems are not talking much tonight. I think the democrat ship be sinking. I can’t wait till next year. Darcy should chop onions next consession speech, that way it won’t look as bad. roof roof.
Fraudoire is going down baby. hehehehe Re-elect Dino.
And Prop 1 goes down big time…

Where is Richard Pope????? I hope he is alright. I hope some drunk didn’t run over his liberal ass. Oh well.
Thank you Tim for another great initiative. Good job.
Not a bad election even though not very many repubs went out to vote. I can’t wait till 2008!!
Darn; i came here looking for King county results
oh yeah
Venus down
Hague up
Satterberg up
taxes down
yippee
HAHAHAHAHA! You lefties do realize that Louisiana elected a GOPer for their Governor right? Yeah, Bobbie Jindal is a close personal friend of GW Bush’s!
Guess that’s just how much THEY hold the GOP responsibile for the Dems huge screw up in New Orleans.
And YEAH! Here comes the GOP ROAR in Wa. State tonight. WOOT!
Come on Dino – the leftwing nutroots is on the ropes!
And when health insurance premiums go up this summer guess who will get the blame heheheheehe it wont be the insurance companies. I hope the dems run on healthcare come 2008.
Well night all. It was a beautiful day. It kinda of feels like new years day…hmmmm… maybe it is.
Turns out the BIG BLUE WAVE was just the Tidy Bowl Man… drowning. I hope the fuckers are liberally crying in their beers.

It’s a wash with KY. A progressive kicks out yet another corrupt winger. Lieman’s garbage is unconstitutional and anyway you look at it, wingnuts hate kids.
So what else is new?
@26 … it is most certainly not a “wash” for New Orleans. They can finally get back to getting their city put back together since the inept leftie leadership did squat since the hurricane broke the levies.
it is not the fault of the federal govt that the local Dem leadership was so corrupt and so inept they basically couldnt figure out what to do. no amount of money thrown at Blanco could have made her any more intelligent.
Jindal is a major improvement and the people who live there now are thankful.
And how exactly do “wingnuts hate kids” ..? YBL, go peddle it somewhere else. We have kids, in fact, we procreate more than you lefties do (and kill our kids less in utero!) so, who actually hates kids more?
Millions of babies aborted year in and year out? Tell me again who supports that?
“He’ll make a great Secretary of Commerce for the next Democratic president.”
And Bobby Jindal, ignored by Big Media (BM), will make a great president for the next president.
Ann! Hot damn! Love your posts!
