2010 Election Results

Dems need 6 more to keep control of the Senate.

Looks like they will take Illinois, Pennsylvania and Schumer's seat in NY. Leaves 3 more.

Boxer will probably win, that leaves the magic number at 2.

Penn? Sestak is up???

 

[mortimer]

Fox News just reported that it is projecting Republican control of the House.

Yeah, let me retract that one and Illinois. They are up right now, but no one has called it.

Gillibrand won the other seat in New York.

Fox News just reported that it is projecting Republican control of the House.

And it's going to be big.

Yes, an important win for the Dems.

Although Manchin ran pretty far to the right. Still, better than the alternative probably.

Only 17% of precincts reporting but Joe Sestak is actually leading Pat Toomey 58-42.

His lead keeps dropping.

Blumenthal beat the $50 million campaign of Linda McMahon in Connecticut

Rock and roll!

 

[applecorped]

Barney Frank is going to win.

 

[Puppycow]

Tight race in Indiana 2 but it looks like Joe Donnelly (D) probably survived a squeaker with 99% of precincts reporting. However CNN has not called it yet. Close enough that there might be a recount. Difference is over 2,600 votes, so pretty good bet that Donnelly won.

This is one of the races that Ken Rudin said to watch.

Conversely, in Indiana, if the Democrats can re-elect Baron Hill in the 9th Congressional District (a possibility but I don't think it will happen) or Joe Donnelly in the 2nd (a better possibility), then the GOP may just get a big night and not a tsunami.

can anyone tell me what the graph at the bottom of CNN coverage. Are those the confirmed seats for the senate...or the old senate make up?

 

[Puppycow]

In NC-7 with 52% of precincts reporting, McIntyre leads Pantano 54-46.

The balance of power? That's the confirmed seats.

Okay thanks so....

This is my first election in the US - do they predict the undecided seats at all, or just go with confirmed numbers

There's a key at the bottom. 63 senators are not up for election this time and 40 of those are democrats (if you count Leiberman), so only 37 seats are in play.

 

[Puppycow]

His lead keeps dropping.

ABC seems to be ahead of CNN in this. ABC has 56% Precincts Reporting and Sestak is now leading 52-48. CNN only has 33% reporting.
