Doesn't look like the Senate will be taken, however. Likely will just be 4 seats as predicted. Some nice governor seat pickups taken by Dems. as well.
Some much needed balance and oversight will be in order.

Fucking Florida 2000 revisted is a comin'. This is a pivotal race since it's looking like McCaskill is taking Missouri and Tester may take Montana. Virginia is the firewall for the GOP.
Wow, I didn't think that would happen.

If Webb maintains this lead, I don't think a recount will make much difference, as there haven't been any reports of irregularities. Last year in Virginia there was an election for attorney-general (I think?) that was decided by ~300 votes and so resulted in a recount. By the conclusion of the recount, only 27 votes had changed hands.
I'm telling you guys, the Dems have got the senate.

I'm trying to agree, but Missouri's cutting close now!
Victory speech on now... This is great
