The Democrats are going to get their 60 seats

[Fmr. Pres. Duke]

This is scary, but it looks like Franken and Merkley are going to win their races, which would give the Democrats a 60-40 lead in the Senate, assuming Lieberman still caucuses with them.

Oh, they can get there without Begich in Alaska?

Assuming Lieberman still caucuses with them, yes.

Really? Franken and Coleman are still pretty close....and Merkley is actually down now.

Well, according to CNN, Minneapolis is one of the only remaining areas still out, and I'm sure that won't be good for Coleman. If it's close to where they wait for military ballots, then it may turn out alright.

And only 31% is in in Portland, so I doubt Smith survives.

It looks pretty clear from the counties-that-are-still-out map on c-span that Merkeley will make it, but I can't see any sign which of the Minnesotans will win.  

Actually, the GOP has 40 now, so Stevens would have to lose for them to reach 60. RIght now, it looks like he'll actually be reelected.

I'm surprised that Smith pulled ahead late in Oregon. I guess the outstanding precincts in Portland was favorable to him. Coleman is ahead by less than 1000 votes, and it looks like Stevens won.
