If you've been following the news, now is the time where the Tea Party has a chance to shine. If you haven't followed on politics, I don't blame you. It's utterly disgusting. Anyway, I will be using the NYT report of the elections, because I find them "fair and balanced" more than Fox News. Then again, I prefer news with no opinions. But enough of the sidetracking. This is the link: "http://elections.nytimes.com/2010/results/senate"
Click on House-->Map for its section, and click Governor-->Map for its section.
Oh, If you're wondering why I'm doing this late at night, it helps to get all the info out. Not to mention that I procrastinate HEAVILY. At time of writing, the NYT election section is not complete, so I'll go with what I have and edit later.
First, the Governor elections.
Democrats lose 9, Republicans gain 9, 1 Independent gain, and 5 Undecided. As of post, 15 Democratic Governors, 29 Republican Governors, 1 Independent Governor, and 5 Undecided. Since we have 50 states, it goes without saying that Republicans have a minimum of 4, maximum of 9 more than 25. Generally, you wouldn't really care about this. But since it's 2010, we should (more on that later). Oh, and for those that ran for governor for NY, thank you for your time, and congratulations to Andrew Cuomo.
Next, the Senate elections.
Democrats lose 6, Republicans gain 6, 2 Undecided. As of post, 50 Democratic Senators, 46 Republican Senators, 2 Independents that generally side with Democrats, and 2 Undecided. I would like to note, in my heavily biased opinion, that I congratulate: Barbara Boxer for defeating the former HP CEO because I have an issue with HP more than Dell, Harry Reid for managing to remain a senator, Lisa Murkowski if she beats the Tea Party-backed Joe Miller even if she employs Benjamin Ginsberg (the lawyer in the in defending 13,400 votes "http://www.latimes.com/news/nationworld/nation/la-na-1104-alaska-senate-20101104,0,2136105.story", Delaware for not picking O'Donnell (honestly GOP, you probably had a better chance if you went with Mike Castle),and Rand Paul for showing the most promise of all Tea Party members (even if you did stupid things).
Finally, the House elections.
Democrats lose 60, Republicans gain 60, 10 undecided. As of post, 186 Democrats, 239 Republicans, and 10 Undecided. In my opinion, the Senate is much more prestigious than the House, and I don't really care much about it, so I won't be making any remarks here.
What does this mean? Check the next post!
*Faux News lol "Delaware for not picking O'Donnell (honestly GOP, you probably had a better chance if you went with Mike Castle)" Looks like they like witches. On a side note, I remember during election day my friend was like "I have to vote, I can't let the tea party win!" I kind of gave her an awkward look because NY is always known to be democratic.I'm pretty sure if the Tea Party ever won in NY, it would be a sign of the apocalypse.
ReplyDeleteits good to see that the government became more conservative, I just wish New York would follow in that trend. I didn't even bother registering to vote because I knew that anyone that I'd vote for would likely lose.
