Well, the Democrats don’t need VA if they can take TN.

None of the estimates of the required Senatorial seats consider the Leiberman factor. An Iago with the face of a* mensch*.

CNN calls for Menendez
[/QUOTE]
Even though their own numbers say Menendez 89,542, Kean 96,987 … 
I doubt it, based on recent polls.

Well, I’d have to believe that Lieberman would join the Dems if they’ve got control otherwise. If he loses, the actual Dem candidate is going to win.

They give good talk.

I’ve not the slightest doubt that “Fightin’Joe” will align solidly with the Democrats if they don’t need him. Otherwise, expect Little Joe to be quite the little bitch. High maintenance.

I have to believe the talking heads who are saying that it’ll swing Dem when NoVa precincts start reporting.

Sadly, I remember thinking the same thing about Florida in the Presidential election in 2004.
CNN is reporting that DeWine is out in Ohio. Must be that good ol’ election fraud, eh?
In very early returns from Illinois, Republican gubenatorial challenger Judy Baar Topinka enjoys a razor-thin lead over incumbent Rod Blagojevich.
Great news for Judy? Not really. Actually, this is a great illustration of why people shouldn’t put much faith in raw, early numbers. Nearly all of those returns are from Lake County, which contains many of Chicago’s North Shore suburbs. Parts of the county are heavily Republican. If Lake is close, Judy loses statewide.
I’ve been comparing the county-by-county results of Kaine’s win last year with tonight’s partial results. Webb seems to be running a few points behind Kaine, all across the board. And Kaine only won by a few percentage points.
I think Virginians will have to suffer with another six years of Sen. Macacarena.
Webb loses = short night; no Virginia in Dem column, no Dem majority.
Webb wins = long night. Won’t know for sure until Montana rolls for Tester over Burns, and MT polls don’t close until 10.

I love the smell of “kick the bums out” in the morning! Really, it’s nice to see these smug power brokers sent packing. The only question I have, is why do they have to relearn that lesson every 10 - 15 years? This shouldn’t be their first BBQ…

Because there is a new batch of voters who haven’t been burned yet?
I’m hopeful, but still not sure that the US voters have awakened yet. If that hadn’t come to in 4 years, why should they in six?
Web is closing on Allen in Virginia with G F Allen. Only a few hundred votes between them now.
4 more precincts just came in for Arlington County causing Allen’s lead to shrink to less than 10k. There are still six more Arlington precincts to go.
Already hearing hints of “Yes, but…” on FoxGnaws. I’m pretty much only watching FoxGnaws. Having a real good time.

Lead has started to increase again, 21k lead with 76% reporting. 
Allen’s lead now shrinking again – under 10 k.
OK you two, stop that!
According to Boston.com, with 8% reporting, Lamont leads Lieberman by 3%.
Ohhh man, that would be sweet…
The voting woes in Colorado should not delay results for the two seats possible to flip (4th & 7th) as neither of them contain Denver or Douglas County.
It’ll slow down state results, but y’all don’t care about that.

But CNN has already called for Lieberman, based on 12% reporting and Lieberman leading by 2%.
