Election Results

MPW will attempt to blog election results as they arrive. Stay tuned. . .

With around 25% of the vote counted, they are already predicting a landslide victory for the Democratic ticket in Kentucky. The Democratic ticket of Beshear/Mongiardo has won about 62% of the vote against the incumbent scandal-tarred Republican ticket of Fletcher/Rudolph. So 2007 is a wash in terms of gubernatorial elections with the Democrats trading a loss in Louisiana for a win in Kentucky.

Not Larry Sabato is already predicting Virginia Senate races. NLS reports that Jeanmarie Devolites Davis (R) has lost to Chap Peterson (D), and John Welch (R) has lost to Bobby Mathieson (D). So far, that's a net pickup of two for the Dems battling to take back the Virginia Senate.

Update: Republicans hold in one key race as Jill Vogel (R) defeats Karen Schultz (D).

Update II: Republicans hold in another key Virginia Senate race as Jackson Miller (R) beats Jeanette Rishell (D). However, Ken Cuccinelli (R) is currently trailing Janet S. Oleszek (D) though the final result is not yet clear.
