Hey dude, the republicans totally ****ed up big time on the senate.

Gaining the majority in the senate isn't that important because of the fillibuster... So the minority party still has limited power. Over in congress, the majority means everything, because the minority party has no power what so ever.

I'm very pleased with tonights results. Taking back the Congress was something nobody expected 2 years ago after Obama was elected. It would have been nice if the republicans took the senate also, but at least they have narrowed the margin.
 
Personally it looks as the Republicans won't get the Senate. On a side note I voted for David Hall (someone I know personally) for US Congress in the TN 5th district. It doesn't look like he will win, and that's sad because it's due to political gerrymandering. TN has had a Dem advantage in state government during the last census and they have drawn districts to dishonestly favor Democrats. My city shares a district with Nashville. I live in a conservative area, but our votes are canceled out due to the heavy Democrat vote of the Nashville city limits. It will be interesting to see how our district seats will be redrawn now that TN is predicted to have Republicans in all branches of state government as a majority.
 
How has MSNBC's coverage been?

I've been switching back and forth between CNN and Fox and I gotta say. They've both been very good and both relatively fair down the board, good presentations. Fox's aesthetically looks a LOT better than in past years where I've just not even liked to watch due to simply the look of it. CNN is its typical self going "OOOOO! TOYS!" and crazy crap, but overall is good. I've just not been able to bring myself to switch to MSNBC.

Interesting interview just now with Palin and Ferarro on Fox

Obama will probably get reelected. If it hasn't, he probably won't.

Yes, unless things really pick up next year, he's likely to get the boot.

Hard to believe, but Pubs will start announcing bids in about three months... start debates in six.... a year from now we'll be well into the next Presidential race.

With all of that going on? Expect the House to put as much focus as they can on the economy -- hard, principled stances on spending, deficits, taxes -- anything to ride this wave of anger and frustration into 2012. The key is to maintain support from Independents - expect the Dems to start fight on immigration, gay marriage, or whatever wedge issue gains traction.

To anyone wondering whether we'll see much cooperation on the Obama agenda... LOL, right.

You just beat me on this.

Johnson in Wisconsin is called.
 
I'm very pleased that the Democrat senate seat went to the Democrat in West Virginia. I really think he will be a good senator who wants to represent his state. If I was in West Virginia I would have voted for him. I think the Republican ran a dishonest race in West Virginia.
 
5k vote gap in Sestak/Toomen, over 1k precincts to report. Still no numbers on Nevada.
 
Heh, great minds and all...
 
Feingold out :(
 
Anyone have any numbers on the California and Nevada senate races?

Are the polls even closed yet?
 
Guy on CNN showed a map of how night began, and where it sits with what they are calling an calls it, and I quote, "a bloodbath".
