Never did a vanity before. Sorry. But I do have a question.

Do we have a number on how many house seats we picked up last night? The press never did tell us in 1994. I'm not holding my breath this time either.

Fortunately we don’t have “the” media any longer.

Looks like +61, but that could change...

The only thing that anyone is saying at this point is 60ish....so I don’t believe they have an actual number yet as there are still seat out there that have not been called yet.

Mark Levin's site lists it at a net +58 in the House, with 11 elections not decided. At least one of the undecided, MN-8, looks like it went from Democrat to Republican. He also says +6 in the Senate with three undecided, 2 of which could be Republican pick-ups and Alaska will either be a hold if Miller wins or strange if Murkowski wins.

What about Alaska? Almost 90,000 write-ins? Any analysis of how they will probably break. Hard to believe that Mur. is going to get most of them.

We got bumped up to the luxury suite on the Titanic. Enjoy the view, the drinks are free.

Just for reference, here are some numbers from 1994—if anyone has the matching numbers from last night, I’d appreciate posting them, so we have a handy comparison.

Also—anyone have similar numbers for state legislature before/after 1994 and last night? Thanks.

1994: House—54-seat swing in membership from Democrats to Republicans

1994:Republicans captured eight Senate seats from the Democrats

pre-election 1994:Governors—11 seats held by Democrats, 14 held by Republicans, and one by an independent.

post-election 1994:Governors—11 seats held by Democrats, 24 by Republicans, and one by an independent

Looks like Buck went down. Rossi still has a shot in WA with above average turnout in Spokane.

I’m with you. California’s mental illness in electing and re-electing 2 of the biggest imbeciles on the planet just stuns me. Add to that Harry Greed stealing the Senate race in Nevada and it just cancelled out all the good news from the rest of the night in my mind.

+61 in House with 12 seats remaining to be decided. Net will likely be about 64-65. Senate is currently +6 and will be +7 if we can squeeze out Washington state (which is currently almost a dead heat).

Who else would get these votes? I have think murk will get nearly all of them. I’m sure a very Lisa friendly examination of the ballots will be conducted.

Miller/Murkowski is a senate race.

Not part of the House tally.

There are more than 150 people registered as write-in candidates, *including* Joe Miller and the Rat candidate, McAdams.
