GOP KEEPS SENATE CONTROL AS DEMOCRATS FALL SHORT

WASHINGTON (AP) — Republicans held onto their slim Senate majority Wednesday, a stinging blow to Democrats in a night full of them. Democrats had been nearly certain of retaking control but saw their hopes fizzle as endangered GOP incumbents won in Missouri, Indiana, Pennsylvania, North Carolina and even Democrat-friendly Wisconsin.

GOP-held New Hampshire remained too close to call in the early morning hours Wednesday, but even if Democrats eked out a win there it would not make a difference.

Republicans started the night with a 54-46 majority in the Senate and were on track to end up with at least 52 seats, presuming they win a December runoff in Louisiana, as expected.

The outcome added to a debacle of a night for Democrats, who lost the presidency and faced being consigned to minority status on Capitol Hill for years to come.  MORE

  2. WI went ruby red last night. We held on to Ron Johnson and kept Feinscold out of the Senate. After the last two presidential elections I was expecting another bout of depression last night, but basically running the table on the Dems in WI restores my faith in the power of vote.

  3. “John McCain & Lindsey Graham are strangely silent this morning”

    That’s because their mouths are full of each others cocks. Suckling away, like babies on a pacifier, to sooth themselves.
