    McDonnell has won Virginia in a landslide.

    Fox just called New Jersey for Christie.

    Two down, one to go.

    Apparently NY 23 could go quite late, as the district is spread across a large portion of Northern New York.

    "The Once"

    LOL :)

    Great post.

    I am going to steal that quote from you, if you don't mind. I think some people might appreciate that on some of the other message boards that I participate on.

    Funny you should mention it

    Because of how big it is, next year the district will be annexed into two democratic districts. Forever becoming a democratic stronghold.

    New York is projected to lose several representative seats after the 2010 census, so I do not know how they are going to be able to make any of the state's districts smaller.

    Bloomberg led Democrat William Thompson, 50 percent to 47 percent, with 13 percent of election districts counted, according to unofficial results reported by the Associated Press.

    bloomberg won, but it was far closer than anyone would have imagined.

    Bloomberg was always going to win. that was never in doubt. but $250 million is a lot for 3%

    no kidding. not exactly bang for his buck, and i guess based on other self funded campaigns he should just be happy he won.

    i really don't like that campaigns spend THAT much money (local, state, or national), it eliminates any chance of a regular person gaining traction... then again, it is his own money.

    where'd you get $250M? the official number is more like $100M. unofficial is likely $120M-$140M, still obscene, but not $250M. no need to make stuff up when the truth is offensive enough.

    I am glad Corzine lost - I never liked the guy and I do think he was corrupt.

    Bloomberg isn't really a republican though...not by Sarah Palin and co standards - they'd call him a liberal if he ran in District NY-23.
