What were the results in your area?

Illinois virtually went TOTALLY republican.

Perhaps most notable is that Obama's former senate seat was won by republican Mark Kirk who narrowly defeated Alex Giannoulias. (I was VERY impressed that Giannoulias called out a heckler in the crowd who started to boo Mark Kirks victory...very classy)

The Govenor race remains contested until absentee and military votes are counted. Democrat Pat Quin is ahead of Republican Bill Brady by aproximately 8,000 votes.

Our governor lost his bid to become senator, and we voted in a Repub Gov over someone who supported Obama.

PA pretty much went republican.

Yep. Tom Corbett (R) is our new governor, and Pat Toomey (R) is finally going to Washington in his 3rd attempt. What I found particularly interesting is that Allegheny County narrowly went for Corbett over Onorato, and I can't ever remember a time when Allegheny County didn't go strictly Democrat. Basically the only "blue" areas Onorato won were the Philadelphia area and I believe he won in WB/S area as well. The rest of the state went "red".

Finally the people of this great state have wised up and want change!!! A new light has been lite.. I am truly excited. First thing to do is fix the money issues in our capital (Harrisburg). If Rendell can lend $28 mill to the Boscov family then we sure has hell can bail Harrisburg out and start more jobs in my beloved state. Another good thing is maybe there will be more focus on Pittsburgh now since Tom is from there.. Bye bye Fat Pig Rendell.. Go back to Philthy..

Ohio was a big win all around. Pres Obama visited about a dozen times trying to help out the democrats

:applaudit: :applaudit:

Though I voted for a Demo for Governor (Dan Onorato), I am OK with Corbett. The huge kick in the PA Dem's yayas is Toomey smokin' Sestak in the Senate race. :yay3: I think hell froze over - the GOP kicked ass in just about every race. :drink:

Hahahha.....I was thinking the same exact thing when I was watching the election coverage. I knew who was running but never made the correlation until the names were right next to eachother

South Carolina kept its reputation as a Republican stronghold. Jim Demint whipped up on his challenger, who by the way had a felony charge against him for showing pornographic photos of himself to college students at USC. Nikki Haley won the governership over Vincent (Obama's policies are good) Sheheen. Haley is the first female, minority governor of SC. Tim Scott is the first African-American republican representative in South Carolina also. Unfortunately, I think Jim Clyburn kept his seat.

On a side note, the African-American Caucus has stated they may not admit the Republican African Americans into their caucus. Isn't that nice.

This is how I see it every election time:
Democrats are in office and things aren't going well - everyone vote Republican. Republicans are in office and things aren't going well - everyone vote Democrat. This is not the way to improve our country. It just divides us. Maybe someday our country will quit this political seesaw shit and something will actually get done.

A quote from my Facebook page. Im a Democrat so seeing PA turn was not my favorite choice, but that's not the point.

FL went/stayed republican down the line all though it was neck and neck between Rick Scott and Alex Sink for Guvuhnuh.

Marco Rubio spanked his other two opponents in a 3 way race. He walked away with 50% of the vote while the DEM (Meeks) only got 12% and Crist was in the 30%

Hopefully now he can get back to being a President instead of jetting around the nation to campaign for people that probably shouldn't be in office if they muster the votes on their own.

Usually when things arent going well, the incumbents take a big hit, party doesnt matter. This was not one of those times, only two incumbent house republicans lost. This was purely a message to Democrats that the people did not like what they were doing.

I like you steelpride, and I honestly mean this with no disrespect whatsoever, but I think once you leave college and get into the real world, you will start to understand how things actually work. Almost everyone of my friends that were democrats in college, switched parties after they started working for a living.

I understand and respect your point, but Im not blind to society. Look at how these elections run, an obvious swing for the Republicans and last ballot it was a swing for Democrat, but the overall factor is that nothing is improving or being changed in his country.

We didn't have a Senate seat up and we elect the governor next year. But our House delegation flipped...we had 3 D's and 1 R and now we have 3 R's and 1 D.

Not much improvement really. The losing Democrats were Blue Dogs, and my district (MS-4) voted Gene Taylor out even though he opposed TARP, Obamacare, crap and trade, and the spendulus. I think that was a mistake because it'll embolden the left. They'll look at results like that and say they took a beating because they weren't liberal enough.

Both of those incumbent R's were fluke wins too. Joseph Cao had LA-2 because the 2008 primaries were postponed by Hurricane Gustav...which pushed the party runoffs back to the regular election day which pushed the general election into December. With the election flying under the radar, nothing else on the ballot, and the incumbent under indictment and having no war chest, Cao pulled off the upset. He had no chance in a normal election.

Djou won a three-way special election where two libs split the vote.

Oh, and in Steelpride's defense, if he's still in college it's understandable to be a Democrat. He has no memory of Carter or Reagan...he got his entire image of the Republicans from two morons named George Bush and his image of the D's came from Clinton.
