Tue Nov 04, 2014 at 9:56 PM PT (Steve Singiser): NE-02: One fairly lonely bright spot for Democrats is holding steady—it looks like Democrat Brad Ashford might be on the verge of a mild upset over Republican Rep. Lee Terry. Ashford still leads 49-46 with about two-thirds reporting.
Tue Nov 04, 2014 at 10:00 PM PT (Steve Singiser): California: With most of the state reporting at least partial returns, most of the state incumbent Democrats in the House are holding tough. Two early disappointments/causes for concern: the fairly blue open seat in CA-31 shows Republican Paul Chabot up 51-49 in very early returns (around 32K total). But with far more reporting (about 85K ballots), Democratic Rep. Scott Peters is also down 51-49 to Republican Carl DeMaio.
Tue Nov 04, 2014 at 10:13 PM PT (David Jarman): Massachusetts: The AP has finally called the Massachusetts governor's race, with Charlie Baker leading 48-47 (but by about 45,000 votes). Hard to imagine Martha Coakley running for anything else again at this point.
Tue Nov 04, 2014 at 10:19 PM PT (David Jarman): NV-04: This one didn't start looking like trouble until terrible early votings numbers started coming in (mostly because this is an "orphan race," with only an uncompetitive governor's race at the top of the ticket). Dem freshman Steven Horsford is now trailing Republican state Asm. Cresent Hardy 49-46 with 39 percent reporting. The good news is this is a 54 percent Obama district, so this is probably a two-year rental for the GOP until we get presidential-level turnout again.
