It's going to be a long night - I'm charging up the cell phone, opening a bottle of wine, and staying up late tomorrow night. Coverage begins about five minutes after I get home from work.

To recap: I'm predicting +24 for the Democrats in the House and +3 in the Senate.

The Massachusetts races are almost too depressing to review. Deval Patrick will be the next governor, Drunk Ted will be re-elected, as will my useless Representative John Olver. The only bright spot is Question #1 which will (likely) allow for the sale of wine in supermarkets. This is the best I can hope for in the Bay State. Sigh.

It should be quite intersting. I am telling you that Santorum will pull it off, Steele wins, and Burns wins in Montana.

The story of big Dem wins was written months ago, and that is all we heard. The same pollsters who predicted Kerry in 2004, Dem takeovers in 2002 and 2004 are saying the same thing again this year. I will believe it when I see it, not a moment before.

Keep the faith, baby! Karl Rove promised there'd be an October surprise!

Democrat gains in the House will be ~20, but we won't know exactly for a few days. In the Senate +4, and Steele will win in MD. We'll almost win Michigan, 52-48.

We'll also get one of either TX-22 or FL-16, which will be remarkable considering that the GOP candidates don't have their names on either ballot.

We'll see...

The GOP candidate's name is well known in both districts. He's Jerry Mander.
