The results are (mostly) in. If you were following along with us and our live-blogging of the election returns, you know it was an interesting evening. If you're just joining us, here's what happened... Gubernatorial race At 1 a.m. the gubernatorial race was too close to call with thousands of ballots left to be counted. Democratic incumbent Pat Quinn leads by about 8,000 votes as of Wednesday morning but Republican Bill Brady has not conceded. Both candidates came forward and spoke to their supporters. Around 12:07 a.m., Brady said that all votes and voices were going to be accounted for. "We're going to make sure the process is done right," he said. And, at 12:58 a.m., Quinn emerged from his hotel room. "The people have won and I …
Democrat concedes Wednesday; Republican wins close race to replace U.S. Senator-elect Mark Kirk in 10th Congressional District.
Almost six hours after supporters and campaign volunteers started to gather at Bob Dold's campaign headquarters in Winnetka, Dold made his first public appearance as one of the newest members of the U.S. House of Representatives. Dold, a Republican, will fill the seat vacated by Mark Kirk, who was elected to the U.S. Senate in a race against Alexi Giannoulias. Sitting through a tight race all day, Dold was unable to have a talk with his opponent, Dan Seals, before he gave his victory speech. "I certainly would liked to have had a conversation with Dan [Seals]," Dold said. "I take my hat off to him." Seals didn't take the stage at his campaign's election night event in Deerfield until well after midnight, but most of his supporters stayed …

Check back here for latest reports on Democrat's loisng bid for a U.S. House seat.
UPDATE 11:33PM: Supporters currently stand in silence awaiting Dan Seals' arrival to the Hyatt. As the night draws to a close, the crowd watches Alexei Giannoulias closing remarks on the screen. A collective groan resounded around the room at the mere mention of Mark Kirk's name, who beat out Giannoulias for the U.S. Senate seat. Seals should be arriving to issue his closing statements shortly. UPDATE 10:47 PM: In what could only be described as a misfire of epic proportions, WGN temporarily switched the percentages during a national broadcast, suddenly displaying Seals with 51 percent of the vote. The room immediately erupted in cheer and applause as supporters of Seals were momentarily rejuvenated during this nailbiter of a race. …

Patch talked to Dan Seals, who is running against Robert Dold to represent the 10th Congressional District Nov. 2. The seat is currently held by Rep. Mark Kirk who is the GOP nominee for the U.S. Senate. Patch: The country seems to be divided between those who believe President Obama's policies will pull us out of the recession, and in fact may have prevented the economy from getting worse, and those who believe we are raising taxes to an unsustainable level which will stymie business growth and saddle future generations with a heavy tax burden. Where do you fall along this spectrum? Dan Seals: I guess I'm a third location. I think that the president's policies have moved us forward, but I think we can do a lot better. Job No. 1 is …

We need to make sure we're not raising taxes. We need to focus on how to get people back to work. In the 10th [of] this $862…
