Blue District Dems Doing Well

by Chris Bowers, Tue Nov 07, 2006 at 03:38:44 PM EST

Menendez just won. Yarmuth looks good in KY-03, certainly better than Lucas in KY-04. In Florida, Klein looks better in FL-22 than we look in FL-16 and FL-13. Hodes looks very good in NH-02. Off-hand, it look like blue district Democratic are doing better--quite well, in fact. This could complicate the "conservative Dems won it" narrative.

[Update by Matt]: An upset in NH-02? Unlikely, but whoa.

Update (Chris): Yarmuth wins KY-03!!!!!

Re: Blue District Dems Doing Well

Carville keeps beating the drum that the new Democratic caucus will be way more conservative/moderate than before.

If we lose seats like that old idiot Lucas in Ky but win our natural blue areas, we'll be truly progressive and we'll be safe from defeat in the future.

NH-01 is looking surprisingly well for us at the moment.

Re: Blue District Dems Doing Well

that's an understatement...if she wins - and it looks likely - it's the upset win of the decade.

Re: Blue District Dems Doing Well

True, but that could largely be because the fix is in. Lets keep up the narrative that the electronic voting machines and voter supression effected the election, even if we do grab control.

Letting us win the blue districts while holding their red districts fraudulently will allow them to argue against a stolen election.

Re: Blue District Dems Doing Well

Webb still down by about 2% in VA with 61% reporting. Hopefully, they haven't counted NoVa, yet.

Re: Blue District Dems Doing Well

Arlington County not reported yet, at all. Chesterfield County - huge Allen stronghold - is complete. If Webb stays close in Virginia Beach and Hanover County, he wins.

Re: Blue District Dems Doing Well

I just saw Schumer on CNN saying they haven't counted Northern VA well which is a Dem stronghold so the DSCC is optimistic.

Keeping fingers crossed...

Excellent. This one's been a squeaker so far, betcha the campaign insiders are exhausted from the suspense.

Re: Blue District Dems Doing Well

The talking heads are already gabbing about "conservative Dems" moving the party "back to the center."

These Dems are anti-abortion and anti-gay.

Is this setting the stage to shit on gays and right-to-choicers?

I know this is completely expected news, but I always wanted to say this, "You can stick a fork in Katherine Harris because she is done!" The AP has projected Bill Nelson as the winner of the FL-SEN race.

Re: Blue District Dems Doing Well

Saw it on the Baltimore Sun, don't know if that's the most up to date source. Now Lieberman is up by 7 points with a handful of precincts reporting.
