It’s going to be late before we know anything about Harmer in CA-10.
As for the rest, it looks like the love affair is over. In 2008, the American public voted for Barack Obama to prove they weren’t racist and in 2010 the same public is voting for Republicans to prove they aren’t socialist.
For the 2nd time in history, the GOP swept Virginia’s statewide races, picking up Governor, Lt. Governor, and Attorney General.
It looks like Christie is going to win New Jersey barring some last minute miracles for Corzine.
It is also looking good for Hoffman in NY-23.
We still won’t know about New Jersey and New York for a while, but the trend lines are good.
UPDATE: RNC Chairman Michael Steele just hopped a plane to New Jersey. Signs are pointing to a Christie victory.
UPDATE 2: Keep in mind on Doug Hoffman that 3 counties will not report their results online and one county, Fulton, has had a machine breakdown and will not report its results until tomorrow.
Erick - tell us more about Hoffman

I'm interested too

Yeah we need more info here
AngryMatt Tuesday, November 3rd at 10:08PM EST (link)Corzine is vastly underperforming in his strongholds; Daggett may have actually helped Christie!
But Hoff is down now. I don’t know the areas that have reported. Any better analysis out there?

Proof that not everyone in the mainstream media is a bleeding heart.
Hoffman's looking really bad.

MacAoidh Tuesday, November 3rd at 10:02PM EST (link)…the SEIU/Acorn Cloward-Piven Axis has unquestionably broken our electoral system, so unless the GOP or conservative candidate can blow out the other side it’s highly likely the enemy will steal the election.
BIG Question
DerKrieger Tuesday, November 3rd at 10:03PM EST (link)…how do we keep these GOP winners from blowing their terms by acting like Democrats and handing their states or districts back to the socialists?

JoeG Tuesday, November 3rd at 10:08PM EST (link)But more than anything, we need to successfully primary a RINO in a safe R seat.
It’s stupid to do that in a swing seat, but no safe R seat should have anything other than a reliable conservative there.

Dopeman Tuesday, November 3rd at 11:16PM EST (link)Just saw some bad news:
With about 70% in, Owens lead continues to grow. Unless Hoffman has many thousands of votes stashed in the St Lawrence county districts where they are having machine problems, I just don’t see how he beats Owens. Does Hoffman have a secret Watertown Palinite contingent? I doubt it.

NY 23 Not looking good......
andysmith Tuesday, November 3rd at 11:21PM EST (link)I’m really interested in Hoffman’s race, and I’m concerned with what I saw on FOX; with nearly 80% in, Hoffman is down by about 7000 votes.
I hope Michael Steele and whoever the heads of the senate and congressional committees take note that running left to win elections won’t work. When elections are about ideas and solutions, it wins.

The blue state cancer has infected so greatly it appears that conservative-chemotherapy (i.e. slow institution of free-market principles and less government in slow piecewise steps) may be the course of treatment. Heh, what are you gonna to do, we tried The liberals can not exactly fub 49% to 45% in your face. When the one candidate was fully conservative and the other more moderate then the Republican that dropped out. Then again, the upset was really on old dodo scuzzy, and we saw her true colors blue-liberal, yellow-coward and green-envy.
