As for Sconnie it is over...only chance Walker has is to call for a recount which isnt likely to get him over the hump.

He signed a law in 2016 requiring it to be less than 1% for a recount. Oops

Update from the Pine Tree State

Democrats take back the Maine Senate and it looks like the governorship. Democrats hold the Maine house.

Angus King (I) easily wins re-election (currently 54.2% - 35.6% - 10.3%)
Chellie Pingree (D) is winning re-election easily in ME-1 (currently 58.1% - 32.5% - 9.4%)

ME-2 will be a nail-biter and likely decided by ranked choice voting. Right now a little more than half of the towns have reported and the democrat challenger and republican incumbent are neck and neck. There are two independents at 5.7% and 2.4%. We won't know the winner until those votes are re-allocated.

We might not know who won ME-2 until next week. The ranked-choice votes are fed into a computer program that eliminates last place candidates and reallocates their votes until someone has > 50%. This is done by the secretary of state in Augusta. Scanned ballots from the voting machines in all municipalities are transported to Augusta before the process begins.

After two elections and a recall, we finally get it right on this guy. Now for Johnson . . .

As to the U.S. House--How does that "win" look when compared to the typical midterm swing for the party not occupying the WH? Viewed in that historic light, does this result measure up as better or worse than the norm?

I’ll try to find the stats again but the median flip over the past 50 years has been something like 23 seats so this year will be more than average.
 
Re: 2018 Midterms 2: I Need A Drink!

I'm heartened by a lot of the House wins last night and some of the Governors. Enough to not get too down about what happened in the Senate and some of the backwoods state's in this country that are dragging us all down.

Trump did not experience a big repudiation last night. Hopefully that makes him even more cocky going forward. I really don't believe he thinks that a "check" was elected last night on his Presidency. I give this as my evidence

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-lang="en"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Those that worked with me in this incredible Midterm Election, embracing certain policies and principles, did very well.

Thanks. That seems important, since the takeaway from a midterm flip of 15 seats could be positive, when it might actually predict trouble. There are the gubernatorial shifts too, which are a separate statistic.
