Democrats poised for a big night in the Senate?

[Frodo]

Democrats would certainly have reason to -we were expecting the GOP to take over the Senate outright all year, and instead we find ourselves actually gaining seats in the chamber, to the extent that the final numbers would likely look like this:

52 Democrats
46 Republicans
2 independents

And those two independents (Bernie Sanders and Angus King) will likely caucus with Democrats, giving us an effective 54:46 majority.

So yeah, it's reason to celebrate!

Well I apparently got Nevada, Montana, and North Dakota wrong in my Senate predictions. 

Though now that we have an effective 55:45 majority, I am glad of it.
