2018 Midterm Election Thread

by — ,

Game on, boys and girls! It’s election day, and the polls have closed in half the states.

Kindly note that this is an election thread. Keep on topic or kindly shuttle your ass to the open thread below.

I’m headed to Drinking Liberally now, so surprise me with your insights in the comment thread.

6:01: Well…at least Tammy Baldwin (D-WI) has won!

6:04: Beto still leads by a hair. And Klobuchar (D-MN) has won.

6:05: Looks like Felons in Florida are going to be able to help elect the next President!

6:07: Cool…I am just getting caught up here after arriving at DL. Hey…a D is leading in NE for Gov? Interesting.

6:16: My early assessment is that this is not really a blue wave. More like a blue splash. There are some very pleasing results, like Ted Cruz trailing a punk rocker–Ted Cruz is a weasely punk. But many races are going, more or less, as expected.

6:32: Oh…cool.

Many of you hear “Donna Shalala” and think, “Oh yeah, Clinton’s HSS secretary.” But Donna Shalala was the Chancellor of the University of Wisconsin—Madison when I earned two degrees. She signed my diplomas. I’ve chatted with her. So…cool.

6:59: WOW! Kansas! Gov!

7:21: MSNBC is now calling the House for Democrats.
