Looks like all the incumbents are safe in Indiana.

[Erc]

Virginia has been called for Warner, and South Carolina for Graham (no surprise).

Exit Polls:

Chambliss: 49.1%

[Erc]

I'll throw in Governor's races here too, since no-one wants to watch a third thread...

Indiana has been called for Gov. Daniels.

In Vermont (Exit Poll):
Douglas: 49.4%
"Other" (mostly Polina): 29.6%

CNN sucks.

[AndrewTX]

That's it. I'm done.

 Chris Shays just conceded. I'm pissed. Congress just lost a great man.

[Torie]

The GOP is showing some push back in the House. I don't think the Dems will gain 25 seats, and it may be as few as 15 seats.

[Ban my account ffs!]

I'm confident about Franken... the exit polls here were very favorable to him.  We'll see...

[Filuwaúrdjan]

PA-11 basically half done, both candidates have about half the vote each. Luzerne 80% done, nowt from Lackawanna, a reasonable amount from the rest but still quite a bit left. It would be interesting to know which parts of Luzerne are left.

[Filuwaúrdjan]

Barletta is now up by under a thousand votes. All of Luzerne is in now and Barletta won it (the Hazleton area must have come in last). So, what's left?

31% of Carbon (currently going narrowly for Barletta), 21% of Columbia (currently, duh, going heavily for Barletta), 52% of Lackawanna (currently going heavily for Kanjorski), 40% of Monroe (currently going for Kanjorski).

Oh, and Murtha don't seem to be in no trouble. But Acuri (over state border) is...

[Filuwaúrdjan]

Some more of Lackawanna comes in and Kanjorski retakes the lead. English still trailing out West. Not checked Acuri.

[Mr.Phips]

Barletta aint gonna make it in PA-11. 

[JohnnyLongtorso]

Wow, Don Cazayoux got his butt handed to him. So much for "incumbents don't lose in Louisiana".

[Mr. Morden]

What's the deal on Louisiana?  Will Landrieu actually be forced into a runoff (she's only leading 50-48%)?  CNN has called the state for Landrieu, but are they aware of the fact that you need >50% to avoid a runoff there (unless state law is changed, and I somehow missed it?)?

[Filuwaúrdjan]

Kanjorski's won!

[JohnnyLongtorso]

No more runoffs in federal elections, just state elections.

[Storebought]

Congratulations to Cassidy in LA-06. One small grain of corn in this horse turd of an election.

[Filuwaúrdjan]

Remember how David Scott was supposed to be in trouble, hmmm [qm]. He's at 65% with 88% in. VA-5 is extremely close; Goode is behind by a nose hair but 99% of polls are in. Acuri is still in the lead, but only just. Not much left to count there either.

[JohnnyLongtorso]

The state BOE corrected the VA-05 numbers: Perriello is up by over 2,000 votes now. Also, it looks like Nye is on the verge of defeating Drake in VA-02.

Thank you, Virginia.
