Oops, posted a comment in the wrong thread. But basically I’d said earlier that I wondered if all that insane amount of last-minute advertising in the Dold-Schneider race meant Dold was underperforming. Seems so.
I don’t know, ArchPundit. With a few major and notable exceptions, you can take the boy out of the Country, but you can’t take the Country out of the boy. So “demographics”, heh.

Sen. Tammy Baldwin?!? this is a big night for women in the Democratic party. take note Tea Party crazies.

Some sources say Schneider is over Dold by 1,200 with 7 precincts remaining. Anything on that Barton ?

What’s the story with Foster-Biggert? It’s a huge margin for Foster, are there some Republican precincts still out yet?
- Mittuns - Tuesday, Nov 6, 12 @ 10:11 pm:
Enyart, Bustos, and Foster declared winners by NBC.
Enough votes outstanding in Champaign for Gill to make it very close.
Schneider ahead by 2,000; looks headed for a recount.

Dold loses! His far-right positions from the 2010 primary come back to haunt him!!

Is my math right that Dems picked up 5 congressional seats? What a debacle for the state GOP.

Dold has conceded.
- Siriusly - Tuesday, Nov 6, 12 @ 11:01 pm:
amalia - plus 5? I’ve only got Schneider, Duckworth, Foster, and Bustos who is the 5th? Enyart’s seat was Democratic.
- hisgirlfriday - Tuesday, Nov 6, 12 @ 11:04 pm:
If hartman hadn’t run it would be plus 5.
- amalia - Tuesday, Nov 6, 12 @ 11:18 pm:

I bet some people in Illinois could use “recreational use” of marijuana right about now, amalia.
