....and the democrats take the Rhode Island Senate seat!

That means they have picked up 3 senate seats out of the 6 they need to claim a majority

So that takes the republicans to 52,

+Vermont, and possibly Maryland puts: Indeps 2- Dems 48- Reps-50

[Team Brian GB]

Maryland has just shifted to the Democrats- 4 points in front 15% counted

Not sure where you're getting that number. I see that it's currently:
Republicans: 46
Democrats: 45

Well I'm basing that on everything else stays the same i.e.- on the 109th congress apart from the ones that have shifted- so if you take the three from the reps and give them to the dems, and also take Vermont from the reps and make it independent- then you end up on 50, 48, 2

Now we need Montana to go Dem

Now the democrats report they have picked up six of the required fifteen for the representatives

Has anyone else noticed that Mark Foley is still staying competitive in his house race??? I thought he resigned! He was actually ahead a few minutes ago, and now he's back to trailing by a few percentage points.

WTF florida???

Tell me about it, I was completely amazed they voted for Bush strongly in 2004, after he "won by 537" in 2000

Never underestimate the power of fear on the ignorant. Also, never underestimate the number of ignorant people in this world...

Arizona has now seemly flipped to the Democrats,

it looks ever increasingly likely

[Team Brian GB]

Now the democrats reckon they are six representatives away

[GoodCitizenDan]

Now the democrats reckon they are six representatives away

I'd say they're about 8 candidates away in actuality. Still, I think they'll probably get those 8 seats...

EDIT: Make that 7 more seats; they just took control of another.

[Team Brian GB]

Indeed- though the Dems think it is now five

[Team Brian GB]

Now the first counted votes in Montana are directed the democrats way

They're probably counting connecticut 05 in that number. I can't say I really blame them. It DOES look like they're gonna take it.

[Team Brian GB]

Are you tabulating Mahoney?

We need him to hold, but apparently it is now down to two

[Team Brian GB]

Even though only two percent reporting- Democrats 14 points in front in Montana


Now how long do people hold their nerve on the House- the Democratic Party not yet
