Joe Lieberman re-elected in Connecticut. He ran as an Independent after losing the Democratic primary to anti-war candidate Ned Lamont.

[JonathanBelles]

lieberman is going to win connecticut and says he will vote democrat but gets more republican votes!

[Stephanie]

How the heck can they say "so and so" won the race with only 5% of the polls reporting???? I HATE when they do that!!! It's not like they haven't been wrong before.

They have a lot of data they go by... including exit polls. I don't think you'll see them be wrong tonight. They are being overly cautious.

Senate:

Dem. Cardin wins Maryland

[Brent]

Democrat Ben Cardin wins the Maryland Senate... beating Michael Steele. This was a Democratic seat that the Republicans had a chance to pickup.

There's still problems with the voting machines that they're using. I just find it very frustrating and that we still haven't learned anything from previous elections. It's just a matter of one trying to come in with the "exclusive" first.

Not really. They're all using and reporting the same information. No scoops tonight. They've been extremely cautious for a change. I doubt any called races will turn out incorrect.

To add to that: Almost all called races come from the AP wire.

"Gore wins Florida" is the only time I've ever seen an AP call be wrong.

That hurts.

Democrat Martin O'Malley has been elected Governor of Maryland, beating Robert Ehrlich.

[Cyclenall]

Democrat Jennifer Granholm re-elected as Governor of Michigan. This had been a bit of a tossup.

I'm watching Michigan and it's not set in stone. I haven't heard of any winner in that race yet. The WDIV-TV website (Local 4 news) shows Jennifer Granholm in the lead which is no surprise so far.
