YIPPPPPEEEEE!!!! John Kasich was a babbling idiot tonight. SCREW HIM!!!!!

This has been a GREAT NIGHT!!!! Bring it on Mittens!!!

7:42 PM PT: Virginia state Senate: Good news: AP calls SD-38 for Puckett (D). Bad news: AP calls SD-20 for Bill Stanley (R).

7:50 PM PT: New York count executive races: Poloncarz (D) leading 53-47 in Erie; Brooks (R) leading 56-44 in Monroe; Dem leading 55-45 in Suffolk.

7:55 PM PT: Huge lead for Dem Liz Mathis in IA-SD-18 (better link): Up 64-35 with 38% reporting.

7:58 PM PT: Local media has called the Arizona recall for challenger Jerry Lewis, who defeats state Sen. Russell Pearce. Both are Republicans, but Pearce was the author of the state's infamous anti-immigration law, so it's good to see him go down.

8:01 PM PT: All precincts in in VA-SD-17: Dem Houck has 204-vote lead. Should hold, which would likely let Dems retain control of the Senate.

8:02 PM PT: We haven't paid much attention to it so far, but control of the MS state House is also up for grabs. While there are still a number of races with few precincts reporting, Republicans are on pace to win the House of Representatives. If current results hold, the GOP will gain nine seats in the House. They needed to pick up seven seats.

Stephanie -- this is quite a big night -- looks to be a clean sweep on every issue/race of note, and nothing close about basically any of 'em -- as for that Ohio thing re the individual mandate, yeah, well, just as soon get that out of the way this year anyway, in practice just another late-to-the-party symbolic anti-ACA effort, and I suspect there'll be more to the messaging story on ACA and additional reform in the coming year

and as for that screaming shithead Pearce -- so sweet to see him dumped, perfect little cherry on top of the night's results -- lol
