SrWoodchuck Posted November 3, 2010 Share Posted November 3, 2010 I was so busy reading other states I did not realize until a friend emailed from TX that a conservative woman named Ellmers edged out Dem Etheridge. WAHOOO!! AND for the first time in a CENTURY the GOP has the NC House. Righteousmomma! Renee Ellmers? YES!! Righteousmomma! Wahooo X 2! Etheridge was a snake. Congrats on the Century mark for North Carolina! Wish the same could have happened here, but Colorado has been Californicated. Markey is losing, which is good. We will remain a sanctuary city with Hickenlooper.........and I wonder how many illegals were signed up by Hickenloopers secret squads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

righteousmomma Posted November 3, 2010 Share Posted November 3, 2010 Sr Woodchuck --still so close: Raleigh, N.C. — Seven-term Democratic Congressman Bob Etheridge appeared late Tuesday to lose his re-election bid, becoming the lone casualty among North Carolina's congressional delegation in a pivotal election nationwide. Renee Ellmers, a Harnett County nurse who was given little chance of victory a few months ago, rode a wave of voter discontent and the fallout of an online video depicting Etheridge confronting a man on a Washington, D.C., sidewalk to edge by him in the Second District race. With 99 percent of precincts reporting, Ellmers had about an 2,100-vote lead over Etheridge, according to unofficial results. It was unclear whether the margin would end up close enough for Etheridge to request a recount. "For all the naysayers on both sides of the aisle, it feels really good to stand up here (and claim victory)," Ellmers told cheering supporters at her campaign headquarters in Dunn. Etheridge, however, wasn't ready to concede defeat. You are right on about your opinion of Etheridge. I guess I should be correct and say the NC General Assembly is GOP for the FIRST Time in over a 100 years. CANNOT believe it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's WA...tough elections to win for the Republican's. Now...won't always be that way. if it is...Texas wants you. Ha! That is why I stay on the east side most of the time. For the record, Cowlitz county population is 92,948 so the difference is not completely overcomable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sabre86 Posted November 3, 2010 Share Posted November 3, 2010 Fox calls the Hawaii Senate race for Democrat Dan Inouye. No surprise @ all. Inouye will have that seat until he dies. It is almost impossible to run against a WWII Medal of Honor recipient who lost an arm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sabre86 Posted November 3, 2010 Share Posted November 3, 2010 Looks like the Senate is going to be at best 50-50, and at worst 54-46. This tosses the two "independents" in with the Dems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We could all see that once "they" got their foot in the door--like they have been trying to do for years and years--they would just have everyone paying state income tax within two years.
