Some would say the RINOs are out in force. I voted, but there are plenty of people out there who are righteously PO'd and they have good cause to be.

[JFC]

Go ALLEN GO...........

[Republican Wildcat]

Shew...I can't handle this much longer.

Hugh Hewitt just said his RNC source says we hold House-by 3-I want to go pray at church!

[West Coast Conservative]

"VA Senate is all but in the bag."

At least one well-connected Republican — not Obi Wan — seems very confident about Allen finishing on top in Virginia. I see it as very very close.

They don't buy the CNN and ABC call on Cardin. The early numbers have Steele up, and they have a lot of absentees that won't get counted for a while. That's based entirely on exit polls, which are wrong.

Northup looks like a loss, and that might be a sign of a bad night.

I'm told that Michael Barone — the guy who was the first to say the exit polls were bad in 2004 —just said the exit polls gave the Democrats 6 to 8 points this year. Puts a lot of those Senate races into the neck-and-neck category.

The CNN call on Rhode Island is based on exit polls. Ignore the call, watch the actual numbers coming in tonight.

That's not to say Whitehouse won't win; just that it's likely to be close and they ought not rely on exit polls.

UPDATE: Florida 13, Kathrine Harris' old seat, has been called for Buchanan, the Republican, by Fox. That's one I had on my "good chance the GOP loses" pile, so the GOP is breathing a little easier.

There's some worry that Foley/Negron-Mahoney is going to be really, really close, and might end up falling just short.

We voted for moderates and conservatives. Knock it off. You moderates are as responsible for this debacle as anybody else.

[JewishRighter]

Where are you getting those numbers from?

[Ellesu]

House will stay Republican and Senate will stay Republican.

[HoustonTech]

TX - U.S. House - District 22
7% Precincts Reporting
Nick Lampson Democrat 13,091 (53%)

Shelley Sekula Gibbs (WI) Republican 10,389 (42%)
Bob Smither Libertarian 1,341 (5%)

Still a long way to go for Sekula Gibbs.

Geez people, we took care of business in Missouri, what's the excuse for the rest of you? :-)

[JohnD9207]

Webb will scream for a recount if he loses, then watch the chads fly. Its gonna be ugly.

[NittanyLion]

I just have to add that, regardless of the outcome, there's no better game in town than this...Lighten up folks, one way or the other life will go on.

[IAMNO1]

"Their wish? We begged this administration, Congress and the Senate to pay attention to this issue, overspending and other issues. Now it's our fault? LOL Oh no you don't."

You sound like my loser Libertarian friends.

The only thing the Dems could secure in Iraq is the genocide of sunnis.,

Lonestar,

Just like they did in Vietnam with the blood of 2.5 million Cambodians on their hands after we left by cutting the funding.

These cheese D!*K$ are about to do it again with the help of Chrissy Boy Matthews.

I need Glenn Becks duct tape....
