I've got 5 so far... Indiana 02: Donnelly (pickup) Indiana 08: Ellsworth (pickup) Indiana 09: Hill (pickup) Kentucky 03: Yarmuth (pickup) New Hampshire 02: Hodes (pickup)
MY DD has us up 9, but left off one of the IN pickups. If that's the case, Dems up +10. IN-02, IN-08, KY-03, CT-05, OH-18, NH-02, NY-24, PA-07, PA-10
how are these races being called with 5-10%? i can't say i'm suprised by the results thus far, but a bit dismayed perhaps.
A lot of them are called because a democratic candidate are either up or close to being on top after counting in heavily republican areas so they can make the assumption that the Democratic candidate will pick up and win. So the Dems are within 5 of the house and 3 of the senate. So it's looking like a democratic takeover of the house and a narrowing of the gap in the senate.
Senate: Still waiting on MT, MO, VA, TN, WA, and AZ. WA is a Dem lock. Dems need 3 from MO, MT, TN, and AZ. I think it will be tough to get there.
so is the consensus still that the republicans will still have the senate most likely? and the dems the house by like 10 or 15?
I dont think there is any doubt that there will be a recount in Virginia...unless the Loudon and Prince William go overwhelmingly for Webb.
It will be tough, but you left out VA. We need 3 from MO, MT, TN, AZ and VA. I'm cautiously optimistic about VA and MT, but MO's looking scary and TN and AZ are expected to go R.
I think AZ and VA are out. I'm surprised AZ was going to be as close as it was. I think we had the Wilder effect in TN. I can't think of anyone who deserves to lose more than Allen in VA., but I am not so sure it will happen. I can only hope.
