I don't mind having individual state threads for people to discuss incoming results in particular races, but personally I think the scheme of trying to predict a priori which states will generate discussion is bunk.  Personally, I think having an omnibus thread for called races and then letting people who want to start state level discussion for races still in doubt as they have interest would have been the best approach.

Imagine 50 people posting at the same time on 1 thread. That's 2 pages in one minute (full with posts about different races) or so and that's not readable. Better split it up in several state specific threads.
You have quite the imagination.  I can't imagine that even as loquacious as we sometimes are that we'd get that sort of thruput for the midterms, and certainly not on a sustained basis. Remember, posters are still going to be limited by the 20 second rule.
