ELECTION RESULTS OPEN THREAD - NOVEMBER 5, 2009. Tuesday was election day in gubernatorial contests in NJ and VA, congressional special elections in NY CD-23 and CA CD-10, and mayoral contest in NYC, Boston, Miami, Houston, Boston, Atlanta, and elsewhere ... NEW JERSEY: Former US Attorney Chris Christie (R) defeated Governor Jon Corzine (D) by a 49% to 45% vote, with former State EPA Director Chris Daggett (Independent) third with 6% ... VIRGINIA: As expected, former Attorney General Bob McDonnell (R) defeated State Senator Creigh Deeds (D) by a lopsided 59-41 vote. This continues Virginia's odd tradition, started in 1977, that whichever party holds the White House has lost the last nine consecutive gubernatorial contests in the state ... NY-23: This was the big upset of the 2009, aided largely by GOP infigting. Center-right attorney Bill Owens (D) captured this seat with 49%, marking the first time the Dems have won this seat since before the Civil War. Accountant Doug Hoffman (Conservative) -- who was backed by Sarah Palin, Tim Pawlenty, and Rush Limbaugh -- was second with 45%. GOP nominee Dede Scazzafava -- a liberal Republican -- withdrew from the race days before the vote and endorsed the Democratic nominee after she faced such hostile opposition from leaders of the conservative wing of her own party ... CA-10: No surprise. Lieutenant Governor John Garamendi (D) defeated attorney David Harmer (R) by a 53-43 vote, with third party candidates splitting the remaining 4% ... NEW YORK CITY: Incumbent Mayor Mike Bloomberg (R) spent $100 million from his own pocket, a national record for candidate personal spending, to defeat City Controller Bill Thompson (D) by an unexpectedly close 51-46 vote ... GAY RIGHTS: Maine voters repealed by the state's same-sex marriage law by a 53-47 margin. By a 51-49 vote, Washington State voters approved the so-called "everything but marriage" R-71 ballot question. It grants same-sex couples the right to enter in domestic partnerships with virtually all the same state rights of marriage except being legally able to call the relationship a marriage. In Houston, out gay City Controller Annise Parker placed first with 31%, followed by former City Attorney Gene Locke at 26%. They head to a December runoff. If elected, Parker would become the first openly gay person elected Mayor of a major US city.
