538’s model has now risen to 86% for the Reps, though the reasoning hasn’t yet been explicated. The Dems are now in Romney territory. Whether all will be in cement by noon tomorrow is as yet unclear to me. Better take that bottle out of the fridge OMG! ## ETA: Yeah, it’s Cory Gardner ® in Colorado. No worries, Bricker. ---

Mail in voting seems to have actually severely depressed Dem turnout in Colorado. New Democratic talking point: mail-in voting is voter suppression and racist! ---

As a Democrat, I’m actually looking forward to the GOP controlling the Senate for the next 2 years. It ought to guarantee a total Democratic blow-out in 2016. I doubt a Republican could get elected for anything after the fuck-ups of 2014-16 they will inflict on the nation. Of course, I can say that from the safety of solidly liberal California. Sorry for those who live in Florida, etc. You guys are screwed. ---

Not a wave? It looks like the GOP will even gain in governors, which should have been impossible since Democrats insist that “the map” is destiny. In the governors’ races, the map was absolutely brutal for Republicans, but it looks like they will be just fine. ---

Ah, new page: According to the 538 model, these seats were in play: Kansas North Carolina Iowa Colorado (projected R) Alaska Georgia New Hampshire (projected D) Louisiana (projected Runoff) ## and now Virginia Mitch has also declared victory in Kentucky. Arkansas is in the Republican column. ---

THey had the option to still go to the polls too, right? I wonder what the heck happened to Democrats in Colorado? The most convenient voting system in the country, a grand experiment, and Democrats actually went out of their way to avoid voting. You guys have got a serious motivation problem.
