Another lesson in this election is that if you are going to run a WRITE IN candidate for Tom Delay's seat in TX, SEKULA-GIBBS may not be the best named candidate to run. :D

McCaskill is running away with Missouri. Tester still has a 10k/4% lead in Montana.

Connecticut 04
Shays (Incumbent) 72,347 52%
Farrell 64,446 47%

67% of precincts reporting
Every other CT race has reported 87% or higher...

What is taking this CT district so long? The result has been the same for over 2 hours now.

looks like McCaskill is declaring victory, for whatever that's worth :p

The AP is likely to call the race soon. The nets will follow shortly.

Tester appears likely to win, but its not going to be called for a couple more hours.

aaaaand CNN just declared it for McCaskill.

49:49 with dems slightly ahead in the two remaining races. feels a lot like waiting for the last flop on the river in a game of texas hold 'em.

Dems are leading in the other races - Virginia & Montana and the lead is gradually increasing, however Virginia could go into a recount.

Dems could still take the senate as well.

how are these results playing compared to the electoral-vote.com predictions?

I believe the final electoral-vote predicts were 51-49 in the senate, which could be exactly right. In the House, it was around 240 I think, which we're not sure about yet.
