Too much going on
Posting will be irregular. I want to watch this more than blog it, so, just little things I think you might find interesting.
****I'll be updating this post throughout the evening.
An MSNBC reporter just said that he'd heard from a Corker campaign staffer who said that the heavy rain in E. Tennessee depressed turnout in Chattanooga, a Corker stronghold. (I'm still not optimistic, but it's something.)
(Hotline) According to FNC's exit polls, 57% of late deciding voters are voting for Dems, while 39% are voting for GOPers (FNC).
(Hotline) MSNBC's Shuster says don't be surprised if Allen has a big lead when polls start reporting in VA (MSNBC).
(AP) "Those early exit polls also showed that three in four voters said corruption was very important to their vote, and they tended to vote Democratic. In a sign of a dispirited GOP base, most white evangelicals said corruption was very important to their vote — and almost a third of them turned to the Democrats. "

I'm cautiously optimistic.
I'm feeling really good on the House, and I still think the Senate is a crapshoot. 4-6 looking at Webb/Allen and McCaskill/Talent.

At 9:52PM EST, VA looks to be going for Allen. All the talk about VA being an enlightened state and not stuck in the bad ol' Jim Crow zeitgeist is just hooey. The fact is at least 1/2 the voters in VA are just A-OK with a racist thug being the face of VA in the US Senate.

Yeah, but still tight. It all depends on where the remaining votes are.

I just don't understand WHY it's so close, given the quality of the candidates involved. Maybe it's because I've spent my life cloistered in New England...

Probably. Take a look at the exit poll breakdown on white men vs. non-white in the post above.
