Calm Down on Concession
I said the same thing when the race was close between Dillard and Brady after the primary–there’s no reason to rush at this point. Let’s open the absentees, make sure everything is good, and then there will be plenty of time for a concession speech. Everyone always feels some sort of rush to get it out of the way, but we have a process for a reason–let’s use it. Brady is fully within his rights and a few days hurts nothing.
It’s not like he’s threatening Quinn with a baseball bat or something

I’m no fan of Brady, but give him a few days and he’ll give a classy concession when everything is settled.
Quinn
Seriously? Of all the casualties of this election season he was the one to survive?
I believe it was Dan Patrick who used to say about Chris Carter–All he does is catch touchdowns.
All Quinn does is wins elections.
Credit to the Democratic Governors’ Association which did an incredible job keeping Quinn afloat. They pointed out Brady’s conservatism and beat it into enough heads to pull this out. Others like Personal PAC and the Sierra Club also came in, but the money from DGA helped Quinn survive the RGA onslaught.
Jay Hoffman Goes Down
To add to all the suckage.
One more
Adlai!
I’ve long argued this is more like 1982 than 1994 and we may well be headed to just that sort of recount. Get your talking points ready!
Too Close–I’m Drinking Beer–See You In The Morning
We are down to where the votes are left and while downstate came in a bit late, it now appears split where the votes are. It’s anyone’s game in the Senate race and possibly a split decision which would be fitting.
Bean is up slightly–against a complete fucking whackjob and Seals is down 5,000 votes, but I don’t know where the votes are there.
Quinn is still holding on–I think he may take this. WTF.
Bean Down
A few hundred. Dandy. So Illinois may go down four or down 2 for Congress.
Alexi and Kirk still splitting, but Kirk winning the important one.
Halvorson and Foster Probably Going Down
Seals is really close, but still down and I don’t know where the votes are.
Illinois likely to lose 3 Dems–may regain 1. May.
Kirk up 13,000 For General Alexi up 7,000 in Special
Because nothing can be made clear tonight.
Hoffman within 2% with 2/3 reporting
As I recall from past years, the D areas report late–he might pull this out.
