5. Thanks you! I've been looking for those results.

What are the numbers?

13. nyt has a good map, wjz has a webpage for local candidates

http://www.nytimes.com/ click MD on the map to see breakdown for Congress and Governor. There's even a county-by-county breakdown for the Governor election.

For local candidates, I'm monitoring the WJZ page at http://elections.cbslocal.com/cbs/wjz/20101102/race900.shtml
but it's a bit slower.

These results have been called, according to WJZ:
O'Malley (phew!)
Mikulski
Ruppersberger - district 2
Sarbanes - district 3 (yay!!! my guy!)
Edwards - district 4
Bartlett (R) - district 6
Cummings - district 7 (another yay! not my congressman, but i love the guy)
Van Hollen - district 8

District 1 Harris vs. Kratovil has not been called yet. But at 5% reporting, Harris is slightly ahead.
District 5 not called yet, but Lollar is ahead of Hoyer, which sounds a bit odd.

No local candidates have been called yet -- I'm watching Baltimore County anxiously.

6. I am so happy for him...proud too. He ran a stellar campaign

That's the way it's done

7. ah! that feels good!!!

I've been more anxious about this race than any other. The NYT county-by-county map was looking encouraging because most of the red counties had been reported, or close to being tallied, yet there was still a healthy O'Malley lead.

Yay!!!

8. Thank the Gods!

I loves me some O'Malley's March! He's been a good governor, and kept Maryland from falling completely into the toilet during the downturn. Ehrlich was a TERRIBLE governor, and the people of Maryland remember.

9. I LUV Maryland, Va not so much

How in the hell did NC become more progressive than Virginia?

[Meshuga]

10. It makes me very happy after having to look at all the Ehrlich sings in every corner

There were lots of bumper stickers for him as well. Go O'Malley!

[Rosa Luxemburg]

14. Maryland was like a forest of Erhlich signs! Huge ones!

all that money wasted - too bad!

[Politicub]

11. Kick!

:kick:

[pamela]

12. Good! Erlich is such a smarmy little shit.

I can't stand to look at him. Plus, he kind of gave us Michael Steele.

Yay O'Malley!!:puke:

[WorseBeforeBetter]

15. As a former Marylander, EXCELLENT! (n/t)

[Baltimore]

16. Ex-Marylander

As an ex-Marylander living in Illinois, after my darling Alexi Giannoulias got defeated after a dirty, dirty campaign headed by Karl Rove, I no longer want to live there. I'm ashamed to have to say I'm from Illinois, but, I say, I'm really from Maryland originally! O'Malley and our Democratics are the real deal. You don't have to go to bed at night thinking, "The Republicans are going to getcha if you don't watch out!"
Trouble is, I don't have any family or friends left there (I left supposedly for good in 1981) and I'm poor as a churchmouse. I have General Assistance and a little money I make picking up jobs here and there. My Township Supervisor (who's an angel) says she try to look into any possible way I can move back to Maryland.
I've been reading all I can about Maryland in the papers because in Illinois we don't have much of a state government at all. If anybody's got any ideas do tell! I guess it's against etiquette to give my real identity on the Internet so I guess that's reserved for private communications.
