    I just can't, for the life of me, figure out what anyone sees in Ted Cruz. I just get this feeling that he's not going to last his term. Everything I've seen and heard from him just oozes with slime.

    Damn you Bill White. You should have run in this race...not for governor. Now we're going to have a Canadian representing Texas.

    Montana and North Dakota are going to be the two most interesting senate races in my opinion. Hotly contested races involving popular democrats running in Super Red states.

    Based on? ... The smell of glue? Senate projects Democratic, 90% liklihood. Probably 52 seats.

    Those are just models and state polls.

    Donnelly defeats Mourdock in IN. The Teaparty blew it again for Republicans.

    MCCaskill just beat Akin in MO.

    MCCaskill actually used her money to run ads for Akin in the Republican primary because she wanted him as an opponent. It paid off.

    Doesn't look good for Bob Kerrey in Nebraska. Shame, I always liked him.

    I don't think it was the TP connection, was it? More so his controversial comments.

    Yes, but it was his TP connection that had him beat Lugar when he was initially elected. Had Lugar been the incumbant tonight Donnelly would have lost. It's TP extremists forcing moderate Repubs out that has cost them.
