1. A formal concession really, you know, wraps it up good.

[Engineer4Obama]

2. We lost VA and we lost NJ but Sarah Palin cost the GOP a seat in the house

[jefferson_dem]

9. A seat that has been Republican since the 1800s...

Priceless.

[silverweb]

10. One small, semi-bright note on VA and NJ ...

Governors don't get to vote in Congress, so the damage they can inflict is pretty much limited to their own states.

Small comfort, I know, but it's something.

[RepublicanElephant]

17. unless a senator from their state dies or resigns. nt

[Engineer4Obama]

18. well luckily Jim Webb and Mark Warner are in good health

I don't know much about NJ's Senators

[fujiyama]

29. I think Menendez is in good shape. He's up for reelection in 2012

Lautenberg is getting old though. I think he's in good health, but it may be worth considering stepping down and giving someone else a shot next year. I'd hate to see him have to go - and get replaced by a Christie replacement that too.

35. delete dupe

36. Uncle Frank will out live

the walking talking coronary Christie.

[ChiciB1]

24. Joe Biden Has Been My Staying/Sticking With Obama Guy! I Have A Wish

that he will have one of those "ears" of Obama and keep us OUT OF Afghanistan!! I'm a pacifist and WARS just "kill" me (pun intended) and my meds are making it harder to type!

I'll check for about 30 minutes and then it's zzzzzzzzzzzzz time!

14. HOFFMAN THROWS IN TOWEL

http://www.watertowndailytimes.com/article/20091103/NEWS09/911039947

Democrat Bill Owens is leading in the 23rd Congressional District race.

The Plattsburgh attorney has 60,458 votes compared to Conservative Doug Hoffman, a Lake Placid CPA, with 56,174 votes.

Dede Scozzafava, a Republican who dropped out of the race Saturday, has 6,796 votes.

There were more than 10,000 absentee votes sent out before the election and some 5,800 were returned and must be counted. More absentee ballots, if sent before the deadline, could still be received.

Owens now leads in Jefferson, St. Lawrence, Franklin, Clinton and Essex counties.

[Clio the Leo]

15. ha ha, someone at the Owens party just yelled out...

"Who's YOUR DADDY!!!! WHO'S YOUR DADDY!!!"

[ChiciB1]

22. Where Are You Watching Owens?? It's Getting Later Here & I've Taken

my required "crazy meds" and will zonk soon!

[DeschutesRiver]

16. Just saw this on MSNBC re the concession - this is the best news tonight and

what I was hoping to hear.

The GOP lost a seat and that is a great thing. Sarah Palin came out publically for this moron and has egg splat all over her face. A democrat just won a seat that has been Republican since just about forever.

A direct slap in the face to the interferring teabagger crowd, from a place that just told Palin to mind her own fucking business in the future. Good deal.

[Cha]

26. Since the Civil War..there's been a repub

there and PObama tapped John McHugh to be Sec of Army and the rest is history.

Thanks limpbaugh and palin.

[DeschutesRiver]

32. FailinPalin helped break a repub winning streak dating to the Civil War? Way to go Sarah, lol. nt

[Clio the Leo]

19. And I JUST got the CNN Breaking news text on my iphone....

.... that Owens has won! You cant GET more official than THAT!!! lol

[Clio the Leo]

20. The crowd is FIRED UP and READY TO GO!!!!!

(I know this because they just said so! LOL)

[ChiciB1]

21. MSNBC... Tweety Called Election For Owens... Had Some Tea-Bagger Babbling,

blubbering all over the place! Regardless, Maine's referendum STILL in play and closing... that would be a coup!

I'm NOT crazy about Blomberg (mucho money) and Corzine ties to Goldman... but perhaps Christie will turn out to be even worse! Good testing ground. And between Bloomberg & Corzine, I'm hearing that close to $400 million were spent between the BOTH of them to win!

THIS KIND OF MONEY NEEDS TO BE PURGED, regardless of party!! If we can't keep people from spending MILLIONS, the little people will NEVER get a leg up! AND for all the money Bloomberg poured in, he didn't win by much!!

I do take some comfort, even in loss that a tiny victory for money purge is in it's infancy! Thought it's an itsey-bitsey, teeny-weeny start!!

So they lost, I'm not crying croc tears... it's the MOOLAH that has concerned me for so long!

[Jennicut]

23. Look at is this way, we only lost two races tonight.

We will hold onto one Congressional seat and pick up another.

[fujiyama]

30. And that House race actually matters more to those of not in NJ or VA

It's pretty much a wash overall tonight. I would have been sort of disappointed if all three were losses though.

I haven't heard anything terribly great about Corzine as gov. and it sounds like Deeds ran a really shitty campaign. Let's just hope nothing happens to the Dem senators from the two states!

[mvd]

25. Thanks for the great news!

This makes up for losing NJ, VA, and the PA Supreme Court seat.

[Cha]

27. PA Supreme Court?

[mvd]

31. Yes, there was an election for a seat

The Repukes have the majority again. I voted, but it appears not enough PA Dems did.

[Cha]

34. BTW, I highly approve

of the name you've bestowed on them, Clio..

Teabagger Cons!

I was hoping when I got on today that nothing had changed and Bill Owens was still the Winner..this should be on the Front Page!

It's beyond Huge when you think about it.
