Republicans have taken the lead for Lt. Gov and Attorney General in Virginia


lol, the complete opposite of the Governor race. I guess the Lt. Gov race was more of a generic D vs. R race, as I can't see people having any real opinion on that race since the Lt. Gov doesn't play much of a role in the state government once elected.

Note that the current split is 66R/34D, so taking the house would be really impressive.

If the Republicans lose the house in Virginia it may cause them to be more nervous. They have held the house since 2000.

Of course it's not over, Republicans can still take the house in a narrow victory.

It's his birthday today, and Twitter unleashes some balloons to celebrate the occasion, which is funny given how he's lost the election.

Iirc that one year of Trump's taxes that Maddow got ahold of showed that he would have owed something like 15% as much as he paid that year if it wasn't for the Alternative Minimum Tax (which the House tax bill would kill).

Northam might win by 10 points. The VA house might flip 17 seats. How much more do you expect?

Northam was expected to win by 7-8 points until they tightened at the end. it's a good result, don't get me wrong, but given how close races were in SC, Montana, etc, I have real high hopes.

also, Donald Trump is president! I won't let that one go

Interesting note on a race from the 538 live results blog


It has likely flown under the radar, but an interesting race is drawing to a close here in Philadelphia. Democrat Larry Krasner is crusing to victory in the race for district attorney, currently winning more than 73 percent of the vote against his Republican opponent. Krasner is an outspoken advocate of criminal justice reform and has been fiercely opposed by the main Philadelphia police union.

This right here? This might be the argument to go with that the problem with the Dems in 2016 really may have been Clinton herself - and I say this as a huge fan of hers.
