GOP may likely to take control of the Senate but Democrats might take control of the Governorship

GOP may look confident that they would take control of the Senate because Tom Udall of Colorado who was safe now is likely to lose his seat to his opponent Cory Gardner as well as the Incumbent Governor Hickenlooper to Beauprez  Now in Iowa, Joni Ernst is back leading Bruce Braley by 1.5 percent. But Democrats may have a chance to control the Board of Governors. They need Florida, Georgia, Michigan, and Wisconsin.

In Wisconsin, Incumbent Scott Walker and opponent Mary Burke are tied by average, but monthly average shows Burke leading Walker by 0.8 percent.  In Georgia, latest polls shows Jason Carter ahead of the incumbent Nathan Deal by 1 percent but average polls show that Deal has a slight lead. Average poll in Florida shows Charlie Crist trailing incumbent Rick Scott and in Michigan Mark Schauer leading Snyder by 1 percent but average polls shows him trailing the incumbent by 2.5 percent.

Senate Projection

GOP: 52
Dem: 45
Ind: 3

Governor:

GOP: 27
Dem: 22
Ind: 1

Update:

Colorado gubernatorial race shows that the Incumbent Hickenlooper is gaining to save his seat over the Beauprez' IUD controversy during the Colorado gubernatorial debate. The Incumbent trails the challenger by 2.2 percent. New projection update comes later.

GOP likely to take control of the Senate

Alaska Sullivan is now back in the lead by 3 percent which now gives the GOP the control of the Senate with Arkansas, Colorado, and Louisiana.

The New Projection shows:

GOP: 51
Dem: 46
Ind: 3

Independent Angus King would caucus with the GOP but vote with the Democrats to block bills by filibuster and vote to approve Executive nominees. McConnell will likely change the votes for Executive Nominees back to 60, but he would change the votes for legislation to a simple majority

Democrats could save the Senate depending on the Mississippi Supreme Court decision on the runoff That Chris McDaniel challenged which was previously rejected by a judge and now appealed. Attorneys of Incumbent Thad Cochran tells the court to reject and uphold If the Mississippi Supreme Court rules in favor of McDaniel, another election would begin according to the Mississippi state election laws and Travis Childers would win. But if the court upholds the previous decision.

RIP Anime Nation 1994-2014

It is very sad news that the online retailer Anime Nation is closing shop for good.


After 20 years, we've decided to get out of the retail game. A heartfelt thanks to all our great customers over the years, and all of the terrific employees that made AnimeNation a fun & dynamic place to work. At times it's been a dream come true. We've been doing this a long time though, and it's just time to move on to new and different challenges.

Mid-term election update

 The Senate Race now hangs in the balance of Kansas determines whether Chad Taylor's name remains in the ballot or is removed.  If Kansas Supreme Court rules that Taylor's name remains in the ballot, the GOP will likely take control in the Senate. However, it would be a tie and it would likely be controlled by the democrats since Vice President Biden is the President of the Senate, Taylor name is removed from the ballot.
 
In order to avoid getting a tie breaking decision, the Kansas Independent might decide to caucus with the republicans on other issues. Then you have Independent Angus King who said he would caucus with the GOP but still would vote with the Democrats.

But then you have Mississippi which could turn blue depending on Chris McDaniels' challenge on the GOP primary results. The only thing that would keep the GOP held seat if the Mississippi Supreme Court judge rejects and agrees with the other judge's rulling. Currently McDaniel before Incumbent Cochran's win made racist remarks


In the Gubernatorial elections, there is a possibility that Democrats may take control of the board of governors.  Pat Quinn the incumbent of Illinois who was in trouble of losing to his opponent Republican Bruce Rauner, now has a good chance to safe his seat and win his second term. David Ige who won the Democratic primary is poised to hold the Democratic seat that was held by the incumbent Neil Ambercromie. In Arizona, it is a toss-up battle between Doug Ducey and Fred Duval. Previous average poll shown that Duval poised to win the seat for the democrats has now been flipped back to a GOP hold for Ducey. In Alaska, Independent Bill Walker who was formally a GOP contender in the primary is leading the incumbent Sean Parnell by 3 points. It is expected that Walker would caucus with the Democrats since his running mate Byron Mallot (D) dropped out of the race and helping him win. The battleground states we are watching is Florida, Georgia, Michigan, and Wisconsin.


GOP 26

Dem 23

Ind 1

Update: New poll shows that Begich is back in the lead of Sullivan by 5%. It is expected that Kansas Independent will likely caucus with the Democrats to avoid a tie breaker.

The new projection shows that the Democrats will still maintain the majority of the Senate.

Dem 48

GOP 49

Big cable wants people in rural areas to suffer by Per-sub fees for satellite

this is bad news for people who live in rural areas where cable service is unreachable. Big cable ACA is applauding the FCC for introducing a per-sub fee on Satellite services which people in rural areas can see a huge fee in their bill ranging from $10-$500. To make matters worse Big Cable would demand the FCC to apply the per-sub fee rules to online video distributors.


Big Cable are supported by ruralphobic city slickers.
