U.S. governors seeking re-election face dissatisfied voters
(Reuters) - More than 30 U.S. governors' races will be decided on Tuesday, with more than a dozen considered too close to call and a large number of incumbents struggling to defend their economic policies as they seek to remain in office.
Hot-button issues from gun control to abortion restrictions and healthcare figure in some races.
For many voters, however, the economy has remained the central issue. An uneven recovery could prove the undoing of several incumbents, including the governors of Kansas and Pennsylvania, who are being held accountable for their states' fiscal woes. http://www.reuters.com/article/2014/11/04/us-usa-elections-governors-idUSKBN0IO0XE20141104?feedType=RSS

Republicans pick up 7 Senate seats formerly held by demoscats with several races still undecided which could increase their majority.
Currently, Republicans hold 52 Senate seats with Alaska votes not yet in and a run-off election in Louisiana scheduled for December.
It also appears Republican will pick up 10 or more additional House seats when all the votes are counted.
The Republicans increased their new Senate majority in the early morning hours when the AP called the Alaska Senate race for Dan Sullivan.Via Becky Bohrer:
JUNEAU, Alaska (AP) — U.S. Sen. Mark Begich couldn’t pull off another election surprise as voter disapproval of President Barack Obama helped push him and other Democrats out of office.
Republican Dan Sullivan, a Marine Corps reservist and assistant secretary of state under President George W. Bush, defeated the first-term incumbent as part of a wave in which Republicans picked up eight seats and regained control of the Senate. Another Senate race is yet to be decided in Louisiana.
The Alaska race was too close to call on Election Night last week, with Sullivan up by about 8,100 votes, but it became evident Tuesday when the state began counting about 20,000 of absentee and questioned ballots that Begich could not overcome Sullivan.
In a statement, Sullivan said he ran a campaign Alaskans could be proud of and, moving forward, "I want to emphasize that my door will always be open to all Alaskans."
"While we have challenges to address, the opportunities in Alaska and our country are limitless. Today, we are going to begin the process of turning our country around," he said.

I clearly don`t understand their election law and think it should be as the other states election rules/laws.

This brings 9 new Republican Senators to the US Senate where they will have a majority to go along with the Republican majority in the US House of Representatives for at least the next 2 years.
Dems' final insult: Landrieu crushedCassidy trounces incumbent with Republicans set to control 54 Senate seats in the next Congress.By James Hohmann12/6/14 Updated 12/7/14 http://www.politico.com/story/2014/12/bill-cassidy-mary-landrieu-2014-louisiana-senate-elections-results-113367.html
One of your new Senators...champion of limited government...NOT. Open eyes guys.
Oh, and your infanticide supporting Kay Hagen lost her election in North Carolina.
If it were put to a vote of the American people, Murder Inc...Planned Parenthood would lose every penny of federal financing.
Rachel Maddow already has her reward. Her viewing audience would fit into a phone booth..just like all the other leftist loons on MSNBC.
I am surprised that you are okay with government interfering in the doctor/patient relationship ... govt practicing medicine... isn't that what you objected to in obamacare?
Another day another hypocrisy, eh jwhop?
Enjoy your holidays
I don't think Maddow has as much to cry about as Shuckin Sean
So, the loud mouthed dipstick got his award... finally
