That means in Delaware a Democrat will hold on to the former Senate seat of Vice President Joe Biden

Democrat Blumenthal projected to win Conn. Senate race over Republican McMahon who spent mlns of her World Wrestling Entertainment fortune

Republicans need 6 of these 7 Senate seats to get majority: California, Washington, Nevada, Colorado, Pennsylvania, Illinois and W.Virginia

Here it is important to note that - historically - senate races are more about personality and the attributes of the individual candidate than are congressional races. So House wins don't necessarily translate into Senate wins

But 49 percent of indy's went for Coons in DE. Candidate quality counts

I think we've learned not to believe in leaked exit polls.

Marco Rubio as the night's big winner -- the only former high level official to ride the Tea Party wave. Unlike the Rand Paul, Mike Lee,, he wasn't carried by it. Could Rubio teach his most important backer -- Jeb Bush -- how to surf in the choppy Tea Party waters? blogs.reuters.com

Tonight's early results suggest that the Tea Party is not necessarily a long-term socio-political trend. O'Donnell's projected defeat and Rubio's victory by moving from the fringe towards the center being examples: we see the Tea Party much more as a reform movement pushing the Republican party 'back to basics' rather than an indicator of major political restructuring.
We will see!

Bye, bye Breitbart. One less election night pundit on ABC News tinyurl.com

West Virginia goes to Manchin, NBC projects. That makes it extremely tough for the Republicans to get that Senate majority.

RT @kerpen: Chicago Climate Exchange closed... Rick Boucher gone... Cap-and-trade DEAD. #fb

Per our earlier point, the West Virginia projected result suggests that the Dems most probably will hold the Senate.... but tonight is still young!

Former President Bill Clinton campaigned for Manchin in the West Virginia race for the vacated Senate seat of the late Robert Byrd

I still think that the seat change in the house will be low-mid 50s. But lets see!

In answer to 'year of the woman': an interesting question, but not a major issue during this election in terms of the politics. There have been more female candidates than ever this year, and it would be great to see more females in office from both parties -- but gender has not been a factor in whether women are gaining office or not. This election has been about jobs and the economy. Voters choose those candidates they feel are delivering / will deliver on these issues
