Congressional thread *** Updated x4 ***
Tuesday, Nov 7, 2006 - Posted by Rich Miller We’re finally starting to get some numbers out of Congressional races. Go check them out here. At 9:12 pm, with 39.8 percent of the votes counted, Republican Mark Kirk was ahead of Democrat Dan Seals 51.3 to 48.7. Also at 9:12, with about half the vote counted, Democrat Melissa Bean is leading her three-way race 49.7 to 44.9 to 5.4. Not enough numbers in 6 to even bother reporting. *** UPDATE *** The AP has declared Congressmen Jerry Weller a winner. *** UPDATE 2 *** I missed this one earlier, but it’s no surprise. The AP has declared Democrat Phil Hare a winner over Andrea Zinga. *** UPDATE 3 *** Democrat Melissa Bean has been declared the winner. Too busy to check the national scene right now. How’s it going? Tell me in comments. *** UPDATE 4 *** Trib reports that Peter Roskam wins, Duckworth loses.

Wow Bond beat Simpson

Andrea Zinga just conceded to Phil Hare.

There is a God. Maybe now Zinga will realize she’s not cut out to be a politician and she’ll just go away. No one I talked to in her district had a nice thing to say about her.
They haven’t decided the Hastert-Laesch race yet. John did better than most people thought he’d ever do against the standing speaker of the house. Quite interesting.

Tessa,
Hastert is taking the 14th 60/40, just like I predicted elsewhere. Linda Chapa LaVia, not Laesch, will be the candidate when the 14th is an open seat, I garontee it.

Hey Governor Blagojevich… your sleazy presence on the ballot cost Duckworth and Seals their Congressional races. I hope the Republicans have the decency to send you a thank-you note!

28-36 seat House pick-up and Senate is hinging on three races: VA, MO, and MT. Virginia has a little over a 2000 vote margin for Webb with 99% counted.

Tammy Duckworth deserved office more than anybody in the USA!! So sad!

Roskam and Schock are the only bright spots in a dark state.
- Wumpus - Wednesday, Nov 8, 06 @ 9:26 am:
Why did Duckie deserve a spot? People repspect her service, but maybe disagree with her other positions and non residency. Perhaps she should have run against BEan in a primary to represent her home district. Maybe she should have run for Gov, since this administration has no love for veterans.

People don’t deserve an elected office, and Blago didn’t cost Duckworth her victory.
