1. The GOP has gerrymandered so many districts, it's surprising we won anything.

2. So disappointed about PA-6 and NY-29
God dammit. :(

What about absentee votes, any chance at all of them pulling something off?

3. Hafen was the most sickening result of the night for me
She ran a phenomenal race and debated like a 20-year vet but Porter shamelessly labeled her a carpetbagger and it stuck, just enough. Hafen is a third generatiion Nevadan who moved away only to attend college then work 8 years for Harry Reid in Washington. To Jon Porter, that's a carpetbagger. He is an absolute sleaze.

In Nevada we predictably lost the major races, three of them narrowly, but it looks like four statewide races go our way. That's big because Republicans held all six of them the last four years.
