I don't go as far as suggesting a gain, but I do think we hold AK, CO and IA.

I think you're delusional.

Best case the Democrats have a net loss of 2. I think KY and AR are gone.

Maybe after some wine at lunch a dose of Quetiapine this thread will make more sense.

For what it's worth, I voted this morning.

My precinct is a predominantly white, working-class, urban area and is mostly Democratic. Turnout was about average, but I noticed a lot of young adults voting. I'm 41 and I was one of the oldest voters there. A woman who was slightly older loudly proclaimed she was voting for Grimes, and that Grimes should be President.

Kentucky, Kansas, and Georgia, and SD all go to the dems. Republicans gain MT and WV. Everywhere else is D hold.

Well now this scenario where the Democrats gain seats is officially not going to happen because Kentucky was just called for McConnell.

Surprise, suprise.

Pfft..wishful thinkers are the worst.

Campbell County was McConnell +25 in 2008. Now it's +9 (exactly the margin I predicted).

This thread will be bumped to eternity tonight and by happy Republicans for months to come.

You're either joking or on something.

Actually, elections have trends. The trend on election day was decidedly Republican. Had it been decidedly Democratic, this prediction would have been, perhaps, only a tad bit optimistic. The predictions that don't make sense are from folks that expect the close races to break 50/50.

They basically did in 2010, at least in the Senate. Of course, that was a spectacular year of self-sabotage on the Republicans' part.

Final results in Campbell county were 58.6% McConnell and 37.7% Grimes.
