Nah. Just the usual stereotype of people sucking off the taxpayers' teat.

Sweet.
2:04 am
I have a feeling this page is going to take forever to load once the results start coming in.
2:15 am
Nice use of that. And congrats to Ben on building it for MPR — awesome idea, dude.
7:20 am
MNPublius did a great job implementing this as well.
9:54 am
This looks great here!
Actually, another MPR New Media man (who shall go by “MT”) did the heavy lifting on that one. We applaud him mightily even though it may embarass him, hence the initials action.
Matt, will I get to meet you at the MPR event?
9:58 am
Yep. I’ll be there. Anyone else here going?
10:02 am
Great! Please drop me a line, I want to be sure you’re set up.
The event is supabooked, so those without tickets will have to resort to mocking the attendees via video access…
11:17 am
What, no 8th district results?
5:03 pm
That’s better!
5:47 pm
The transportation amendment is in there now too.
9:18 pm
how can they already call it for klobochar?
9:27 pm
Looks like they used “voter interviews”….exit polling.
9:35 pm
Any news on the St. Paul education referendum?
9:36 pm
what about instant runoff voting?
9:37 pm
Pro-IRV is winning so far, in the 60% range, in early results.
9:38 pm
whoa, mnspeak’s page is refreshing faster than mpr’s….
9:40 pm
er, the results are updated quicker, i mean
9:40 pm
I hope tammy lee kicks fine’s ass
9:47 pm
Bachmann/Wetterling is pretty close. But Bachmann could be farther ahead if the precincts reporting thus far are in the monied liberal portions of Otsego.
9:52 pm
i keep refreshing the allen-webb race…
just like in mn, third party candidates screw over the dems
10:13 pm
just like in mn, third party candidates screw over the dems
Why is it that the 1% of votes that go to 3rd party candidates are to blame rather than the huge chunk of eligible people who don’t vote or the other huge chunk that vote for the Republican?
10:18 pm
they’re not to “blame” — it’s just that there’s two parties that can win based on america’s awful voting system, and the left side usually’s got more third party problems cause the left doesn’t like politics, it likes policy.
the right understands that you try to change your party from the inside, rather than wasting votes elsewhere.

“the right understands that you try to change your party from the inside, rather than wasting votes elsewhere.“

Not this year. I know of a BUNCH of people, normally R, staying home today.
Because the R’s (nationally) turned out way too liberal for their tastes.
Heck, we’re getting Nader’ed today by the far right.
.
10:38 pm
I don’t know about the conservative Nader effect, but the VA voter turnout looks like it is running at 50%. That’s just terrible. Those are the voters that could have put either candidate over the top easily and chose to stay home instead.
11:09 pm
CNN has just projected that the Democrats have won control of the House.
11:12 pm
God. If only the senate would follow. It would be nice to be in a country with a system of checks and balances again.
11:13 pm
mccaskill (”the democrats dream candidate!!!!” … ugh) is sucking it up. webb about to lose (reid said he wants a recount and unlike a blackwell/harris situation (republican sec. of states love to screw up recounts), va’s got a dem. secretary of state so that could be interesting. i think tester could win in montana. wouldn’t that make 50 republicans and 50 democrats (including lieberman)??
cheney is the tie-breaker …
11:19 pm
The new standard, set over the last year or so, is that no bill passes without winning cloture. (Think how many bills went down this year, not on the vote itself, but on losing the cloture vote.) So, as long as no one party holds sixty seats, you already had the perfect, unbeatable check and balance.
11:21 pm
i mean 50-50 if webb loses… which he’s about to
11:24 pm
sorry for yet another post, but my comment about mccaskill is wrong, from hotline:
“
MO SEN update: Major cautionary note: only 60 of the 884 precincts in St. Louis Co and St. Louis City have been tabulated. McCaskill won both the county and city in her GOV bid in 04 by significant margins. And NOT ONE of KCs 186 precincts have reported.
“
11:45 pm
down to 4,000… i wish i could line up which counties had the most precincts not reporting, so i could gauge whether conservative southeastern mn is left, or liberal twin cities/iron range is left….
12:14 am
