Before it gets too late, I want to note my predictions for the downballot races.
Senate:
The Democrats currently hold a 51-49 majority. They need to a net gain of 9 seats tonight to get a 60-seat supermajority. These are the races which will ultimately determine the size of the new Democratic majority in January.
Alaska: Ted Stevens (R) v. Mark Begich (D)
Begich wins by 8-11 points.
Colorado: Bob Schaffer (R) v. Mark Udall (D)
Udall wins by 7-10 points.
Georgia: Saxby Chambliss (R) v. Jim Martin (D)
Chambliss wins by 2-5 points.
Kentucky: Mitch McConnell (R) v. Bruce Lunsford (D)
McConnell wins by 3-6 points.
Louisiana: John Kennedy (R) v. Mary Landrieu (D)
Landrieu wins by 6-9 points.
Maine: Susan Collins (R) v. Tom Allen (D)
Collins wins by 7-10 points.
Minnesota: Norm Coleman (R) v. Al Franken (D)
Franken wins 2-5 points.
Mississippi: Roger Wicker (R) v. Ronnie Musgrove (D)
Wicker wins by 4-7 points.
New Hampshire: John Sununu (R) v. Jeanne Shaheen (D)
Shaheen wins by 8-12 points.
New Mexico: Steve Pearce (R) v. Tom Udall (D)
Udall wins by 10-13 points.
North Carolina: Elizabeth Dole (R) v. Kay Hagan (D)
Hagan wins by 4-7 points.
Oregon: Gordon Smith (R) v. Jeff Merkley (D)
Merkley wins by 4-7 points.
Virginia: Jim Gilmore (R) v. Mark Warner (D)
Warner wins by 24-27 points.
If my predictions are correct the Democrats will pick up 8 seats, leaving them at 59-41 in the Senate, one seat short of the supermajority. The GOP firewall in the South will hold, but if they lose McConnell or Chambliss the Dems hit 60.
House of Representatives:
The Democrats currently hold a 236-199 majority. Expect them to pick up between 25-30 more seats tonight. I also expect the Republicans to claim one significant Democratic scalp: John Murtha, largely due to his self-inflicted wounds when he said western Pennsylvania was racist.
