VT called for Obama. KY, IN called for Romney. VA, other East Coast states still too close or too early to call.

One thing to remember when watching the tallies – particularly the early results – is that the rural (and likely more Republican) districts are going to report in first.

Congratulations to Sen. Joe Donnelly (IN) defeating Richard Mourdock!

Todd Akin and Richard Mourdock are probably wishing they had shut up about rape. I for one think it was super of them to share their ‘principles’ with the rest of us. Jerks!
