results as of right now:
House: 228 GOP (+4), 199 DEM (-3), 1 IND... 7 undecided, 2 of which have dems currently in the lead (there's 2 in Louisiana that have Reps leading, but they do run offs, and in a run off, one of the two looks like it might turn into a dem win)...
Dems cannot take the house, and after the 7 undecideds, the final numbers will probably be 233 GOP, 201 DEM, 1 IND, though there's a potential swing of 1 or possibly 2...
Senate: 53 GOP (+3), 44 DEM (-3), 1 IND, 2 undecided... most noteable among the results races is that Daschle lost his seat, which should basically signal the end of ANY attempt for him to EVER run for president... quite a fall. Both undecideds are favoring the Rep. Candidates at this point... final overall should be 55 GOP, 44 DEM, 1 IND...
President: Looks like Bush gets 4 more years... it all depends on Ohio, but without any major controversies breaking out thus far, and by the 150,000 vote lead Bush has right now, I believe he'll win the state and the job.
Governors: 11 seats up, no changes in the overall balance has occured though (28 GOP, 21 DEM), 1 seat is still undecided (Rep. Candidate is ahead, but only by 700 votes, or 0.1%.. this one is REALLY close)...
Either way, its shaping up to be a sad day for democrats with wider margins in both the house and senate, no real change in governorship, and what's looking like 4 more years of a republican president.
