In the race to succeed Rep. Bud Cramer (D-AL5), Parker Griffith (D) has defeated Wayne Parker (R) in a close race, 52-48%. In the 22nd District of Texas, meanwhile, it appears Rep. Nick Lampson (D) will lose to challenger Pete Olson (R): with 94% of the vote in, Olson […] In Texas Rep. John Culberson (R) has been reelected to the 7th District, fending off a challenge from Michael Skelly. With two-thirds of the vote in, Culberson had a 55.7-42.7% lead.

Dave Weldon in Florida’s 15th Congressional District, on the Space Coast. With 84 percent of precincts reporting, Posey, a Republican, was leading Democrat Steve Blythe 54-40%. Weldon, of course, had been a strong advocate of NASA during […] The Rocky Mountain News in Denver has projected Mark Udall the winner for the open Senate seat in the state.
