I got this over the weekend... it's FAR more involved than President Forever, as you actually have to manage the campaigns down to individual race level, including allocating funds, running individual ads.

My results... I actually campaigned on healthcare.... AND

House
DEM: 248 (-8)
GOP: 187 (+8)

Senate
DEM: 55 (-4)
GOP: 45 (+4)

Incumbents defeated: Blanche Lincoln
Lost open seats: IL, IN, ND

Came within 4,000 votes of Rand Paul in KY and 15,000 of Burr in NC

I gave Bachmann special attention - and while I didn't beat her - I got her down below 50% and yes, I beat Allen West - 52-48%

Reid got 58% and Feingold 54% - I also tried McCain but he had a 7% lead 2 weeks out (and being over 50%) and pulled resources out and moved them to KY and PA... Sestak won 52.4% despite being down 42-46 two-weeks out.
