Election Night November 3 Live blogging

by the Left Coast Rebel

This is the first election that I have live blogged. I'm sitting here in the living room with the clunky old laptop, watching realtime election results on Fox News. I will update this post as I see events that warrant. First off VA:

• Virginia polls are closed. Results are trickling in. 7% in so far, for the governship, 96,ooo going to 'R' McDonnell, 46,000 to 'D' Deeds. Obviously these numbers will tighten up, it looks to me like GOP voters are more motivated in early voting.
• 15% of VA results now in, McDonnell 175,ooo, to Deeds 95,000.
• New Jersey to close in 15 minutes. CNN is showing that VA voters are focused on the economy.
• VA results now 25% in, McDonnell 282,ooo to Deeds 155,ooo.
• 30% results in VA now in 336,ooo to 194,ooo. Exit polling coming in from VA show confirm above.

• NY polls just closed. Owens leading Hoffman in preliminary voting count.
• Ugh, I'm jumping between NY now and NJ. NJ is tightening, 49% to 44%.
• NY-23 is tightening as well, Owens at 51% to Hoffman 45%, less than 1% in, 600 + votes for each candidate, lol. Go Doug Go!
• NJ Christie 700,ooo 50%, Corzine 611,ooo, 44% too close to call.
• NY-23 still less than 1% in, reader TCL just messaged me and said that NY-23 has had ballot issues.
• NJ, 67% votes in, 50% Christie to 45% Corzine.
• NY-23 51% Owens 14,000, Hoffman 12,ooo 43%.

Chris Christie Projected Winner, Governor of the State of New Jersey

• NY-23 is tightening up, Owens 35,000 49% to Hoffman 45% 33,000
• Still tight, in NY-23, 49% Owens to 45% Hoffman, 46,ooo to 43,ooo
• Major Garret just commented that the White House and Obama have no comment tonight on the election results. Yet the talking bobbleheads are saying that this referendum doesn't mean anything for the Obamanation agenda.
• NY-23 still static at 49% to 45%.
• Ny-23, Hoffman up one point, a real nail-biter 49% to 46%. 49,000 to 45,000. This one could go later into the evening. Too close to call but it doesn't look good for the Hoffster.
• Gag, Corzine just gave a speech. The virtues of Progressivism. Go home to your Goldman Sachs buddies, buddy.
• A message on Facebook, my wife's account - Don't forget to fasten your seatbelt on your way home Trentin Corzine!

Hoffman/Owens Race, NY-23 Too Close to Call UPDATE: Owens Confirmed Winner in NY-23

• What a fight and so close, Hoffman is officially out of the race, Owens the winner. What a night. An 80% victory tonight against the Obamanation agenda. Will conservatives prevail however? We have a lot of work ahead of us.......

Good night all, until tomorrow, the good fight continues on. I tip my hat to Doug Hoffman, thank you sir for the service to conservatism and the effort that you put forth. Gratitude and ample respect to all of those in the grassroots that put forth an amazing effort to help get Doug Hoffman elected.

Damn, it was close in NY-23.
