[10:54] And speaking of squeakers, incumbent R-David Bates holds on against D-Jim Hasenfus in Barrington/Bristol (District 32) 51.6-48.4.
[10:53] R-Nicholas Kettle wins the Senate seat he knocked Leo Blais out of in the primary (District 21), in a 3-way squeaker 39.5-37.6-22.9.
[10:48] R-Glen Shibley defeats D-Frank "Mister" Hyde 56-44, for what I believe was the seat that Lou Raptakis vacated to run for SoS.

Who could ask for anything more?
Posted by: John at November 2, 2010 11:29 PMWe have to look nationwide for good results tonight but getting rid of open communists Amy Rice and Chuck Levesque has to bring a smile to all.
Posted by: Tommy Cranston at November 2, 2010 11:33 PMMy Senator, the useless two-legged union worm Bea Lanzi survives yet again. She has come within a hundred or so votes of losing multiple primaries and generals over the last decade. Damn all the stupid people in this state.
Imagine what "drama" there will be on Smith Hill come January with a $350 million deficit, a Republican House which won't send another dime in bailout money and a Governor committed to no local aid cuts.
Get ready for a fun ride come January
Hooray for Beth Moura! She won the seat that was formerly occupied by Dan Connors. That same Dan Connors who jumped up and killed Marc Cote's bill.
I wonder who TPW will get to do her dirty work now. At least I know it won't be my Senator.
