Thoughts on the United States Midterm Elections of 2014

Several races were on the ballot on this year's midterm elections, including all House seats, some governor and Senate races as well as local races, even some propositions and amendments. This midterm has it all.

On the governor's side, some notable results included some incumbents being re-elected. Nikki Haley (South Carolina), Mary Fallin (Oklahoma), Scott Walker (Wisconsin), just to name a few. In Texas, Greg Abbott will become Rick Perry's predecessor after holding off several candidates in that gubernatorial election, including Wendy Davis, the member of the Texas legislature who will become even more famous now than ever after wearing a Wu shirt with her name on it. She is not for the children, and was absolutely rolling in ODB's grave.

The Republicans will maintain House control with 233 seats, including in North Carolina District 2, where incumbent Renee Ellmers won the election. Why am I bringing this up? Her nearest opponent--former Pop Idol USA runner up Clay Aiken. He was a runner-up in everything. Now this. Sucks to suck Clay.

The Republicans also will have majority seats in the Senate. With Democrats like Kay Hagan (North Carolina) being voted out, it seems the people have listened to the fuckery of Obama (see 'ObamaCare'). Tim Scott (pictured) also became the first African American since Reconstruction to be elected to the Senate. Progress, people, progress. Also Mary Landrieu's Senate seat will be a runoff on December 6, competing against several football conference championships. At last check, one of Landrieu's opponents, U.S. Representative Bill Cassidy, is leading. In Louisiana, 50% is the line of victory. What a fucked up system it is.

As far as local races, don't care. Also the coverage, as I've flipped back between the new SAMCRO episode (RIP 'Elvis' Munson), and coverage on Fox News and C-SPAN (since I don't have Blaze, damn you DIRECTV!). I hope you enjoyed the results of these midterms. Another wave is coming up in two years!

United States Midterm Elections 2014: Today is the Day

Every seat in the House, 33 of the 50 Senate seats, and 38 of 50 gubernatorial races are on the ballot nationwide. This includes local races as well.

Some interesting races to watch, including in the House District 2 serving the 'Research Triangle' area of North Carolina. Incumbent Renee Ellmers will run against--yes folks--Clay Aiken. That Clay Aiken. Will he lose yet again?

Also with Rick Perry's term ending, the next Texas Governor will be elected tonight. One of the candidates has been publicly known in the Texas legislature for her pro-choice stance regarding abortion (Wendy Davis); will Texans have the smarts to not vote for her?

So many races, and I'll be tweeting tonight. Follow me at @MorganShow1.

Assessing the U.S. Governors Elections, 2012

This is also my 900th post.

Jay Nixon's re-election as Missouri Governor were among the incumbent governors in the United States re-elected in Tuesday night's elections. Six incumbents faced re-elections, all six re-elected. Here are the following Governors re-elected to office on Tuesday night:

• Gary Herbert, Republican, Utah
• Jack Dalrymple, Republican, North Dakota
• Jay Nixon, Democrat, Missouri
• Peter Shumlin, Democrat, Vermont
• Earl Ray Tomblin, Democrat, West Virginia
• Jack Markell, Democrat, Delaware

Democrats were elected in three states-Washington, New Hamsphire and Montana-where Democratic governors are retiring. North Carolina's Governor-Elect, Pat McCrory is taking over for Bev Pardue, a Republican who is retiring and not electing to run for a second term due to low approval ratings late into her term.

Mitch Daniels' retirement due to the Indiana Republican Governor's term limits, resulted in another Republican, Mike Pence, in his seat after his win on Tuesday.

American Samoa and Puerto Rico also had gubernatorial elections on Tuesday night as well.

Republicans currently have 29 Governorships, compared to the Democrats' 20 after Tuesday night. One is unknown. These numbers are among the 50 states, excluding territories.

Election Day 2012: A Mini-Guide.

The voting booths are setting up nationwide for Election Day 2012. Several races at the national, state and local levels are up for grabs. Here is a mini-guide to the Elections.

• President. Over two dozen candidates are running to defeat current President Obama. Gary Johnson, Jill Stein, Mitt Romney and others are trying to do so. Obama and Romney are on the ballot in every state. Unfortunately, for the third party and independent voters in Oklahoma, once again, the brain-dead head of elections in that state refuse to let third party and independent voters on the ballot. Maybe for monetary reasons?
• Every House seat is up for grabs. Some whose two years (one term) of their House careers are on the line.
• 33 of the 100 in the Senate are up for grabs. Including in key states such as Missouri, where U.S. Congressman Todd Akin is really listening to the voters and whether or not his 'rape' comment will win him the ticket to the Senate chambers, in the seat currently held by Democrat Claire McCaskill.
• 12 Gubernatorial races nationwide, and in American Samoa.
• Various other races nationwide as well.

If you filled out an absentee ballot before your deadline, I applaud you. If not, get your ass out there Tuesday and vote!

Coming Soon! Arnold Schwarzenegger as the 'Sperminator.'

If you haven't heard by now, the former California Governor is slated to star in the newest film in the Terminator series, an adult film that stars alongside the staffer whom Schwarzenegger impregnated with! That woman, according to a report at the Thirty Mile Zone, is identified, and so is her son, who has grown now.

The Sperminator. Look for it to head straight to DVD and to the adult pay-per-view channels. Also confirmed that Maury Povich will have a cameo appearance as well.
