Election night

Looks like the House will go Democrat by 15 seats, roughly the same margin the Republicans previously had, and the Senate can go either way... Tracking polls suggest the Democrats will win the Senate, with wins in Virginia and Montana likely, and wins in Rhode Island and Missouri probable. The Democrats must win all four, or trade one of them for an upset in Tennessee (not unlikely) to win the Senate.

The Republican Party has issued an ominous press release that exit polls are not to be trusted.

MSNBC exit polls have Virginia and Missouri going to the Dems, Tennessee a narrow Republican victory. Polls aren't closed in RI and MT.

RI looks solid Democratic. Women are turning out more than men in the states I've seen.

So based on exit polls, the Dems just need Montana.. polls close there in 40 minutes. That was a safe lead in poll after poll.

MSNBC exit poll in Virginia now gives Allen (R) a slight edge. This would mean the VP breaks the tie in the Senate.

MO tightening up but McCaskill (D) still has slight edge in exit polls (behind in early count). MT looks safe D.

Went to bed early; original post called the outcome as accurately as anyone.
