    Seems Missouri is the one we're all going to be waiting for.

    Senate seems safe for republicans. I don't think Missouri is important, but looks like R's will win there. Steele has not conceded; those saying he lost are pulling that back now. Looks like Allen will win VA. Which would seal it up.

    House is gone, as expected.

    Yeah it's gonna be close.

    Any idea when that result's expected to come in? I'm watching BBC News and they don't seem too clever tonight with the election coverage. :confused:

    Just watch drudge. He'll update when its over.

    VA SEN [97.67% IN]
    R- ALLEN 1,114,969 49.47%
    D- WEBB 1,111,806 49.33%

    MO SEN [1924 of 3746 IN]
    R- TALENT 544,433 51.3%
    D- MCCASKILL 477,716 45.1%

    I think Senate will stay republican.

    I wonder how many seats the democrats will have in the house, though. If its very close to a tie (say 4-6 seat split), there are some interesting possibilities. But that'll take a few days to come together.
