Election Day!!!

I am such a nerd.  It's one o'clock in the morning and I'm flipping through different websites tracking election results while most people are sleeping and waiting until the morning to find out who wins.  But I love it!  I'm so excited.

Why does California have to be three hours behind me?????????  Why??  I'm waiting for the coast to finish election results.

Nancy Pelosi won, she has 75% of the vote with John Dennis.  I guess it could change only 0.2 percent of precincts have reported.  But that's a huge lead.

Barbara Boxer and Carly Fiorina are neck in neck.  Fiorina is leading by one point with 20.2% of precincts reported.

Sharron Angle is down five points with 46% of precincts reported.  CNN is predicting that Harry Reid will beat Sharron Angle.

For election updates

Some of these races are going to come down to the wire.  The Republicans are going to pick up a majority in the House of Representatives and some say possible a majority in the Senate although that is unlikely.  But the Democratic majority in the Senate will be limited to a few seats.  Right now the Democrats lead in the Senate by two seats.  This is a historic night!  I can't wait to see what happens.

For my own state Richard Burr(R) won his senate seat again and in the House of Representatives Brad Miller won by 10% of the votes beating Bill Randall.  The North Carolina General Assembly is in Republican control although not for my district.  I'm a little bummed by this.  I really liked Jon Hardister and Jeff Hyde, hopefully they will both consider running again in 2012, they are definitely the people we need in government.

Tomorrow I will have a special post with full election results, what it means for our country, and of course my own personal opinions.  I'm going to be so tired!  But it's totally worth it!
