Election 2014 voting results

[theballerFKA Ace]

Kentucky Senate

R- Mitch McConnell destroys his opponent 56% 41%

South Carolina Senate

R - Tim Scott projected to win
R - Lindsey Graham projected to win

They cancelled CNN on Dish for me, so all I get is MSNBC.


Anyone getting results on their news station?

I know a hot young professor that would have orgasm over shit like this. She tells me she gets joy from watching CSPAN and all these midterms. :facepalm


Anyways, why should I care again?

[theballerFKA Ace]

For South Carolina Governor R-Nikki Haley is projected to win but it looks like D-Charlie Crist may take it for Florida Governor

[Sarcastic]

As of 7:15

[theballerFKA Ace]

R- Shelly Moore Capito is projected to take out the Democrat incumbent in West Virginia for the first net senate seat gain for the Republicans

[Patrick Chewing]

It will be a long, and woeful night for Liberal goons like KevinNYC and Droid and the rest of the Liberal assclowns on this board.


A night of crying and ice cream are ahead for these puss!es.

[MavsSuperFan]

Anybody that believed McConnell was going to get taken out by Grimes was delusional.

McConnell is the leader of the the GOP in the senate and one of the most powerful people in the GOP. Just off the government contracts and other pork barrel goodies he could direct to Kentucky is a decent reason to vote for him if you work and live in the state.

[Patrick Chewing]

I want term limits. Even though I'm glad McConnell won, dude has been at that seat for 30 years???


Enough is enough.

What little respect I have for you is long gone.

Liberal:facepalm

[9erempiree]

That means nothing will ever get done with the Republicans having the majority. I hope you guys know that this doesn't mean shit. When is the last time something was passed that you disagreed on?

This isn't going to get rid of liberal and PC America.

Obama is a lame duck and he doesn't really care about this. What is he going to push down our throats that he hasn't already?

Unless this is going to help us fight those Muslims.

[theballerFKA Ace]

My local TV station just said that only 42% of Californians polled knew Gov Brown was running for reelection and only 20% knew the name of his Republican opponent, Neel Kashkari.

:facepalm

[theballerFKA Ace]

It looks like another Democrat incumbent is going down in the senate. R-Tom Cotton is predicted to take the Arkansas set. That gives the Republicans a net gain of 2 so far in the senate.

[ROCSteady]

Pretty sure Anthony Brown has this shit re: MD Governor. He dominated in Prince George's County & Montgomery County. I'd bet my left nut that he has Baltimore County on lock.

[Richesly]

Both democratic and republican parties are absolute ****ing trash.

[theballerFKA Ace]

Looks like D-Tim Wolf takes down the Republican opponent in the PA Governor's race.

[theballerFKA Ace]

R-Mike Rounds is projected to beat the Democrat incumbent in the S. Dakota senate race giving the elephants a net 3 gain in the Senate.

[KevinNYC]

Obama is a lame duck and he doesn't really care about this. What is he going to push down our throats that he hasn't already?

OH no, our throats our poor, precious throats!

[theballerFKA Ace]

D-Jean Shaheen keeps her seat in NH but R-Steve Daines(sorry) beats the incumbent Democrat senator in Montana giving the Rs only 2 more net wins to take control of the senate.

[Patrick Chewing]

My local TV station just said that only 42% of Californians polled knew Gov Brown was running for reelection and only 20% knew the name of his Republican opponent, Neel Kashkari.

:facepalm


Cause the remaining 38% no speaky english

[longhornfan1234]

We're taking our country back from Wall Street Dems. :cheers:

[9erempiree]

I can't believe you guys are actually following this.

[DaSeba5]

Nothing will change with a Republican majority senate, so I really don't care. I'm just upset that Florida didn't pass medical marijuana with 57% of the vote (we needed 60%) and that Rick Scott is still the governor. Sad day.

[MavsSuperFan]

That actually hurt them. :lol

Please don't tell me it was for your multiple sclerosis. You can get weed from any street corner in Miami. And there were so many loopholes in this proposition that it was destined to fail.


I can see marijuana being legalized nationwide eventually in the not so distant future.

[DaSeba5]

We should focus on working together. Hopefully we can have a Clinton-Republican Congress success again if that's possible.

Need to hook that shit up. Have her sit on my face while she's watching election coverage so I can get that stink pouring down my throat.

[theballerFKA Ace]

R- Corey Gardener projected to take Colorado over the Democrat in Colorado giving the Republicans just one more seat to take control of the senate.

[longhornfan1234]

Lol...they didn't work together. Clinton threw his own party under the bus. He signed DOMA, Welfare reform, NAFTA, and repealed Glass Seagal. The Democratic Party would have riot if Republican president did that shit. :lol

[theballerFKA Ace]

Wow, R-Gov Scott Walker is projected to win reelection in Michigan. I bet Jimmy Hoffa is rolling in his cement right now.

[theballerFKA Ace]

It's not projected yet, but it looks like incumbent D-Kay Hagan may go down in flames to R-Thom Tillis even though she outspent him 3-1. Tillis has a 2 point lead with 95% of the precincts reporting. This would give the Rs their senate majority assuming they don't lose any net seats.

[MavsSuperFan]

Pretty sure Anthony Brown has this shit re: MD Governor. He dominated in Prince George's County & Montgomery County. I'd bet my left nut that he has Baltimore County on lock.
:( :confusedshrug:

feel bad for Tommy Carcetti's presidential hopes

[ROCSteady]

He down like 54-46 right now and he could very well lose but some big places aren't in yet

He seems like kind of a dunce anyhow.

[theballerFKA Ace]

R-Joni Earnst takes Iowa from the incumbent donkey. The Republicans have taken control of the Senate and they are still going. It's a bloodbath out there for senate Dems. The Rs have won virtually every closely contested race.

[theballerFKA Ace]

It's official D-Kay Hagan the incumbent falls to R-Thom Tillis. Republicans get another senate seat.

[DaSeba5]

meh.. nothing will change. Just more bickering and fighting among the President and Congress, and Republicans in Congress. The only option is to work together hopefully, which will never happen.

[KingBeasley08]

Maryland is an extremely Democratic state. Really shocked Brown is losing

[theballerFKA Ace]

The Dem Governor in Obama's home state of Illinois gets replaced by a Republican...ouch. :eek:

The GOP is more obstinate/combative than the typical democrat. if the GOP house passes a bill and the GOP controlled senate tries to do the same will the Dems filibuster shamelessly like the GOP? Of course Obama still has the veto.

So we'll just reverse things and do Republican politics, hate them and vote in a wave of Dems in the future, hate them, and repeat the process...

[theballerFKA Ace]

Massachusetts gives a Republican another try at governor.

This is getting stupid. I give up. Goodnight.

Florida couldn't even pass medical marijuana because of 3%. :(

57% voted yes, but they needed 60%. Ridiculous.

florida is retarded. perscription painkiller capital of the world, yet medical marijuana is illegal.

same. I'm certainly no conservative but if I had voted I think I would have went for Hogan though tbh.

[MavsSuperFan]

what was so bad about brown?

[KingBeasley08]

same. I'm certainly no conservative but if I had voted I think I would have went for Hogan though tbh.
don't know much about whats goin on with either candidate (don't live in the state for most of the year) but O'Malley was very hit and miss but his misses were huge. he drove out a lot of upper middle class people so I can see why there might be a kickback against the Democratic party

[ROCSteady]

in repsonse to MavsSuper:

A continuation of the status quo. Maryland Dems have pretty much been carbon copies. We gettin taxed out the ass for dumb shit. Some re evaluation is needed right now. MD a good state just too expensive and it was static for too long.

I'm not a huge politics guy but Brown was pretty underwhelming to me. He didn't come off as terrible bright or much of a figurehead,. I guess the devoted political people felt similar to me because I'm just accustomed to the donkey goin HAM in that elephant ass here

[irondarts]

Extremely disappointed that Fred DuVal lost the AZ Governor race.

[dude77]

so obama's home state elects a rep governor and I hear the rep governor financed his own campaign ? so obama endorses you and you have plenty of campaign fundraisers and monetary help .. and the incumbent dem still loses to a self financed rep lol ..

obama getting his ass owned

[BasedTom]

Weed is de-facto legal here anyway. It's about as enforced as downloading music illegally.

If it helps the trailer-dwelling geriatrics upstate sleep better at night as they wait for Death, then good on them.

[Godzuki]

non black people wont say it but they don't trust black people with race agenda's running the gov anymore after Obama/Holder fiasco. its a clear conflict of interest. call me racist but no way i'm voting for a black candidate in a high political position of power ever again with the shit Obama/Holder pulled, and how strong the expectation and guilt trip are from black people to be bias towards them on the issues.

Republicans winning is a clear reflection of Obama's shitty foreign policies/strategies, and some of his social domestic issue policies as well which are way too race agenda'd. i was supportive of him until his recent term. early on he made the right calls with the bailouts, national healthcare, etc. but fukk that Ferguson shit, fukk his shitty and soft international stances, fukk his political correct lack of Ebola safeguards, fukk him solving race issues with extreme political correctness/bias and having a beer.....he has made me regret voting for him on so many levels even if he did some good :facepalm

i just really wish Christie would run, he's like the only Republican i fully trust. dude is no nonsense. shame he had that scandal.

The list goes on and on with Obama and his cronies in the administration.

It's as if they have no business in a position of power whatsoever. You mentioned just a few of his debacles, but the ones that really get me are:

Fast and Furious
Bowe Bergdahl
IRS
Trayvon
V.A. Deaths
ISIS, Ft. Hood (not calling it "terrorism")

This administration rarely ever takes accountability for any of their actions and just pass off blame due to politics. Bullshit. Obama, the biggest scumbag America ever shit out.

Pretty pissed about that, I mean it's not like it would of affected me since I don't need it for medical purposes, but I thought it was a step in the right direction.


QUESTION for states where it is legal to smoke like Cali and Colorodo: Do they still check for THC in drug tests (for jobs), and would having THC in your body result in being terminated?

Has anyone watched the liberal news stations since the election results? Any meltdowns?

[theballerFKA Ace]

Weird how all the cool places are blue and all the shit places are red

I would say all the cool places are blue, all the average places are red, and the shyttiest of the shyt places are blue. There isn't any red ghettos, even most white trash trailer parks are probably blue.

the electoral map looks like that even when the dems win.

White people/rural people/GOP voters are much more spread out geographically.

Minorities are concentrated in the cities

From 2012 presidential election. counties in red won by romney, counties in blue won by obama.

GOP voters have been more spread out for decades. Farmers vote for the GOP. GOP is far more supportive of farm subsidies.

This is the exact same map but not segregated into counties, and instead into states

good point

the amount of visible red can be very misleading

in this current election the Repubs actually won though

[MavsSuperFan]

The one thing to keep in mind is the GOP will always have more red than the DNC will have blue, on a county by county basis.

Whites are just super spread out. There is large swaths of this nation with nothing but non-Hispanic white people (a slight exaggeration, but you know what I mean).

however cities which are much more densely populated have high concentrations of minorities and liberal whites. This why dems can win states like Washington, Oregon, Nevada, Florida, Ohio, Michigan, etc. with most of the counties of that state voting GOP. the Counties dems do win contain highly populated cities.

Also why its much easier for the GOP to gerrymander congressional districts.

Different parties subsidising different people... where to go if you want to limit government subsidies and stop granting interest groups particular favours in exchange for their votes? What a corrupted and disgraceful system. And note: as soon as you allow the government the power to grant arbitrary decisions you make this inevitable.

No where. such a place doesnt exist in reality and never has.

Edit: thinking about it more you can always move to Somalia

Somalia has none of that. the congo, etc. basically any nation without real government control.

what else are politicians good for other than advocating for certain interests? This gives voters a choice of which interests they would prefer to win out.
