| 10:35 PM: Look, I'll make this easy. Elizabeth Esty won the 5th CD race. There is NO way Andrew Roraback can make up ground as the city votes are coming in. I don't know what the state pundits are waiting for since anyone can get the unofficial results for the big cities...I knew Esty won Danbury by 3k votes over an hour ago!
Obviously I had my problems with Esty but that being said, the election is over and the seat is still blue. I hope that she works for the good of the district (while not stabbing the Democratic Party in the back).
