The early results look very good, but not fantastic for the GOP. It's a little disappointing to see the Delaware and Connecticut Senate races called so early for the Democrats, and there have been disconcerting rumors swirling about Harry Reid doing very well in the early vote in Nevada. Also, just seeing now that the West Virginia Senate race has been called for Democrat Joe Manchin. None of these races are really surprising, but I was definitely holding out hope for West Virginia at least, and possibly Connecticut too.
On the other hand, the House results look pretty good. Democratic incumbents Tom Perriello and Suzanne Kosmas going down...good news but not shocking. 100-term Democrat Rick Boucher has also lost...that is surprising and excellent news. Also, the GOP looks in good shape to defeat Baron Hill and is close against Joe Donnelly and Ben Chandler. Most analysts thought Donnelly and Chandler would hold on, so either of them losing would be a great sign.
Mixed bag so far...good but not the blowout I was hoping for.
More later....
