This is going to be an extremely entertaining two years. :lol:

 

I just came home from a local bar that was having an election day party - free tequila shots if you voted - that was also a hopeful celebration for Beto voters. I haven't felt so smug at someone else's expense since I lived in Irving and the Cowboys lost a home game.

:lol:

House Score

r: 182

d:198

(55 left)

+26 Dem flip - official control 

- projected +3 majority 

Dems leading in only one more remaining race, which (if it holds/doesn't increase) would give them +4 total on the night. 

 

Barring another reversal of an earlier call.

Did Manchin seriously only win by 3%? That's not a sure Dem vote by any stretch, moving forward.

Trump won the state by 42 points.  Manchin is breathing a sigh of relief right now.

Manchin secured 22% less of the vote this time around. The two are related.

I raised the possibility of this earlier as my largest concern tonight.  

 

It hasn't been abated.

If you think the Democrats have been batshit for the past 2 years...

 

Karl Rove tonight counted 25 newly elected Dems who are Never Pelosi.

 

I didn't even know that was a thing. Pelosi not far left enough?

Gonna be a late night.

Dems might get their fist senate flip - Heller in trouble. 

(still a comfy majority secured in the senate for GOP)

Republicans carried the national House popular vote by 1 percentage point in 2016, and based on The Upshot model, they look likely to lose by about 7 percentage points in 2018. That 8-point shift would be nearly as large as the 9-point shift toward Republicans that happened in 2010 and the largest shift toward the Democrats since 1948.
