I think we just lost Pennsylvania

[thewiseguy]

Toomey is ahead by 20,000 votes and his strongholds are mostly the ones to report. I do not see how Sestak can make up the gap.

[Drunken Irishman]

1. Yup. Same thing happened in Illinois.

[book_worm]

2. if true, that sucks--but he made it closer than anybody thought a month ago.

[fugop]

3. Thanks, Citizens United!

Say hello to our scary future!

[krawhitham]

4. Pennsylvania was lost at the primary

[thewiseguy]

5. PPP ran a hypothetical poll last week and Toomey was leading Specter

[Chan790]

7. No, Toomey would have spanked Specter.

It would not have been this close even.

[mvd]

6. This is just unacceptable

It's not over until it's over. And I hope Sestak doesn't concede. I don't mind not doing protocol with these thugs.

[Kdillard]

8. Ugh I was hoping he would have enough to pull through

[BumRushDaShow]

They are still saying too close to call here.

Not sure when they include the absentee ballots....

9. The news just keeps getting shitter

Feingold and now this Toomey guy...he may make Santorum look sane.

10. The most important thing to take from this race is the turnout!!!!

If the turnout is below '08 levels, then Obama has a great chance to hold Pennsylvania in '12. This will be a squeaker, but it could have been much worse.

We need to focus on the turn out in swing swing states and start planning for '12!

11. Actually it looks like many precincts are still out in Philly and Delaware County.

I don't think this is over yet.

[tallahasseedem]

12. Philly and Delaware County are huge DEM areas...

There still may be hope. Just hang in there!

[thewiseguy]

14. Those two counties are both reporting at over 95%

Toomey has been increasing his lead...

[FBaggins]

13. Not nearly enough.

Both counties have reported at least as high a proportion as the state as a whole.

It ain't "over", but the far lady is gargling.
