NATIONAL SENATE/HOUSE RESULTS THREAD (LATE RESULTS/POSTMORTEM)

[Fmr. Pres. Duke]

Fox calls the House for the Republicans. I think the GOP gets 49 seats in the Senate or 48 if Reid pulls it out.

[cinyc]

Fox News projects Republicans win the House.  Their models say that Republicans will win 60 House Seats.

[I spent the winter writing songs about getting better]

Wow things are looking awful right now.

Nah better than I thought. GOP takes House but Senate is looking up.

[Brittain33]

Keating is winning Plymouth. Coakley lost it by 28 points. I don't think the dirty cop is going to pull it out.

[cinyc]

The contrast between the Senate and House results so far is rather striking. Moderate Republican gains in the Senate, wave victory in the House.

Less of the Senate is up than the House.  Project the Senate gains to 100 seats, and you'd probably be about even.

[You kip if you want to...]

238-197. MSNBC revises prediction.

They're also painting a very gorey picture of Rand Paul single-handedly causing a world wide depression. Infraction point - Excessive hyperbole.

[Guderian]

Guinta wins...

Skelton and Spratt chairmen in deep poop.

[Filuwaúrdjan]

NC-2 is now very close with about half in. With 42% counted, Spratt is doing a lot better but is still down 52-47. Barrow has finally pulled ahead in GA-12 with 30% in. Boyd is down 56-39 but still not called; presume it's those very Dem areas left out?

[Stranger in a strange land]

If Feingold wins, I actually won't feel depressed tomorrow...

[cinyc]

The margin in KY-06 is down to D+0.2.... Now D+0.1...

[Brittain33]

Bennet by 49.5-47.0, by winning Independents with a double-digit lead.

That would be encouraging, he's one of the senators I was genuinely sad about. However I'm not so enthused about exit polls considering that CO was one of the Republicans' strong points in early voting.

The confusion about exit polls and the inclusion of early votes continues...

Help me out, then.

With FL-02, Leon is 89% in - that one is over.

[sg0508]

The GOP is going to flop in the big senate races they needed: CO, IL, WA, DE and WV. 

That killed them.

[Vepres]

What hacks on MSNBC. They're seriously saying Republicans won't raise the debt ceiling and thus knowingly cause a worldwide depression.

This is analogous to Republicans saying Obama was going to socialize healthcare.

[cinyc]

I'm going to go out on a limb and call MA-04 for Frank now.

[The Ex-Factor]

If Feingold wins, I actually won't feel depressed tomorrow...

this i don't even care if boxer loses if feingold wins this election outcome will have exceeded my admittedly tiny expectations

don't troll the house thread with senate stuff.  thanks

[Sbane]

Wisconsin is close but unfortunately I think Feingold will lose. Bennett looks like he might hang on though. Looks like there was just a moderate wave in the Senate. The house looks pretty bad, but it should be less than 60.

[JohnnyLongtorso]

Lincoln Davis looks to be in big trouble in TN-04, down by 20 with 16% in.

Ben Chandler by less than 400 votes with 96% in.

Joe Donnelly looks like he'll win, he's up by 2,000, and most of what's left is LaPorte, where he's winning handily.

[TheDeadFlagBlues]

Wow things are looking awful right now.

Nah better than I thought. GOP takes House but Senate is looking up.

Didn't you predict that we were going to keep the House?

We did lose unexpectedly lose Boucher, and almost lost Donnelly. It looks like we are going to lose Chandler thanks to Conway being a dick too.

That's why I don't watch MSNBC.

[Zarn]

Republicans are ahead in both NJ-06 and NJ-12, believe it or not.

I already said that... but they are far from GOP yet.

NJ 3rd is looking pretty, though.

[Insula Dei]

Bennet by 49.5-47.0, by winning Independents with a double-digit lead.

Help me out, then.

Some seem to think they're included in exit polls. So I wouldn't be able to say that CO is looking not too well right now.

[Brittain33]

We did lose unexpectedly lose Boucher, and almost lost Donnelly. It looks like we are going to lose Chandler thanks to Conway being a dick too.

If Chandler loses, it's standard partisan swing stuff, nothing to do with Conway.

[Free Palestine]

Hill is back down to "normal," in NE-3.
