My guesses (in no order):

Senate:

Rand Paul (win or lose)
Jack Conway (only if he wins)
Harry Reid (win or lose)
Sharron Angle (win or lose)
Joe Sestak (only if he wins)
Christine O'Donnell (win or lose - and if she wins she'll be on all night)
Alvin Greene (see O'Donnell, although he won't get as much when he loses)
Marco Rubio (win or lose)
Charlie Crist (win or lose)
Joe Miller (win or lose)
Lisa Murkowski (win or lose)
Scott McAdams (only if he wins)
Chuck Schumer (only if Harry Reid loses)

House:

Nancy Pelosi (not because of her actual race)
John Boehner (see Pelosi)
Alan Grayson (win or lose)
Rich Iott (win or lose)

Hmm... probably missing some here... but how many individual House candidates are going to get a lot of attention?

Don't do gubernatorial candidates here. I'm gonna make a thread for them on that board.

For House, Ron Paul will probably score a few interviews if Randy wins out.

The correct answer is Christine O'Donnell, because the MSM is broken.

Barney Frank, maybe?

Alvin Greene (see O'Donnell, although he won't get as much when he loses)

I dearly hope one of the major networks sends a correspondent to "Alvin Greene Campaign Headquarters" to cover the election from there.  It would be fun to see him give a concession speech to an empty room.

Maybe he'll refuse to concede.

Any long-time Congressmen that lose, like Ike Skelton, will probably get a mention.

Or any big name that loses in general.

Any big, unexpected upset(s) will be the main story of the night.

Boxer and/or Reid losing will get a lot of buzz. Ditto Frank, and the Hispanic guy in AZ. For the Dems, Sestak winning, or Bachmann losing, will be a 24/7 story. But mostly, the individual personalities will be lost in the wave. The story is the wave, not the identity of those who are in it, or below it.
