But yeah, Hissyspit, please put an R or D by the names. We don't have them all memorized.

I have a second tab open to CNN.com's election results, so I can check quickly, but some people may not know how to get the info easily.

Every post I posted in LBN had party affiliation except this one. It slipped by mainly because it wasn't an important race so I didn't check back on it and AP didn't include it.

But frankly the petulant way people have acted in this thread makes me not want to not bother posting anymore at all.

It's like people think I get paid for this or something.
