The most important thing, imho, is often overlooked. With the GOP base energized by these polls and anxious to send a message, not only do they pick up lots of seats in the US House and some in the Senate, but they benefit all the way down the ticket to the state legislative senate and house races. We may see 38 GOP Governors and many legislative bodies flipped to GOP. This is supremely important this year especially since these bodies will be redrawing seat boundaries in response to the 2010 census. I know in TN, this will mean not only the US Congressional delegation will be more conservative in future elections, but all the state house and senate districts may be redrawn more favorably to the GOP.

From this article:
Fifty-three percent (53%) of white voters favor the Republican, but 71% of African-Americans prefer the Democrat.
Is the Democrat support from African-Americans down?
