It seems I missed one...

Wow, this one is a close one. With 85% in they are 4,000 votes apart and only 3% difference. This one will go to the wire.
 
The fact that it is a special election made it nearly impossible to predict accurately. Various polls had one candidate or the other up by double digits. The surprise is that it's so close.

Quite. Plus they rarely poll in Congressional races, there weren't all that many done.

I wasn't ready to believe that this district would go conservative suddenly, I don't think they've ever had an R rep there for decades... but it is clearly possible.
 
It seems Newt hedged his bets in the right place, and that the Republicans should have listened to them. That's the benefit of hindsight, however.

It's kind of a tragedy; if Hoffman won, it would encourage teabaggers all over the natino to split the vote more.

R rep for decades? The district has never elected a Democrat before. Do you mean "true" R rep or whatever?
