EvilMonkey Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Nov 2, 2010 -> 11:12 AM) Reading this just reinforced why I could never vote for a Republican in today's political system. I vote for quite a few Green or Independents when I'm unhappy with a Dem candidate but I can never vote for the Republican agenda: via Not even state races, or things that don't quite vote like Sec of State or Attorney General? How closed minded. Even I voted for two people with a D after thier name today. If you straight party ticket the whole ballot, you are just lazy and do a disservice to your right to vote.

I generally agree with what you're saying here. I don't have an objection a priori to voting for a Republican for some local or maybe even state-level offices. National is a different story. That said, I didn't vote for any R's today, but I didn't vote all D either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StrangeSox Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 (edited) Silver with a complex, but seemingly useful breakdown of all races, poll closing times and current model projections: http://fivethirtyeight.blogs.nytimes.com/2010/11/02/3225/ edit: just for an update, 538's latest projections give the Dems a 94% chance to hold onto the Senate, but only a 17% chance to retain control of the House.

HuskyCaucasian Posted November 2, 2010 Author Share Posted November 2, 2010 Just so everyone knows, I am working on a Google Docs spreadsheet that I plan to share a link with everyone. It will aggregate some exit poll data to see just how close some of the races are. What races would you all like me to include? I have Brady/Quinn and Kirk/Giannoulias at the moment.

StrangeSox Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 Nate Silver will be live-blogging the election returns and his models will be continually updated based on incoming data. http://fivethirtyeight.blogs.nytimes.com/2...election-night/ I'd love to see the algorithms they have for that.

Soxbadger Posted November 3, 2010 Share Posted November 3, 2010 Looks like cook county is reporting first. Alexi and Quinn both with 100k leads as of now. I think they both will have to be up at least 250k after 75% of Cook reports if they want to win. But it appears cook county had a good turn out.

Soxbadger Posted November 3, 2010 Share Posted November 3, 2010 Hard to tell, im just using the Tribune website. http://elections.chicagotribune.com/results/ 15% of the total state reporting, Dems up around 160-170k votes. 38% of cook county has reported, so they need to still open that lead up if they want to win.
