Democrat Bob Etheridge has finally admitted defeat to Republican Renee Ellmers in North Carolina’s 2nd District race and will concede today at 3 p.m. The recount Etheridge demanded shows that instead of 1,489 votes ahead, Ellmers actually won by 1,489 votes. Excuse me. The final recount was 93,878 votes to 92,389 for Etheridge. Thank goodness the grabby loose cannon has been forced into early retirement.
With this race concluded, only California 11, California 20, Illinois 8, Kentucky 6, New York 25 and Texas 27 remain to be determined. As it stands now, Republicans gained 61 seats and are poised to gain as many as 66, since it looks like McNerney will hold on.
