DOVER, Del. -- Delaware Democrat Chris Coons has been re-elected to the U.S. Senate, beating back a challenge from Republican businessman Kevin Wade.

This year's Senate race in Delaware was a foregone conclusion for many political observers and did not figure into the national battle between Democrats and Republicans for control of the Senate.

Wade faced huge disadvantages in fundraising and voter registration numbers against Coons, who served as chief executive of the largest county in heavily Democratic Delaware before he was elected to the Senate.

4. Another one to be thankful for, I guess

Anything D may be better than any GOP, but then again, when they start to
bend over to help McConnell, I'll have to reassess...

5. Whoo-Hoo!!! Thank goodness.

Is there some place in DE where I can see what districts have reported in? I'm concerned with all the other races I voted for today. Just want Delaware to stay majority Dem wherever we can get it. I figured if it's any district in Sussex County reporting, they've skewed the results so far. My daughter said "Well, they don't call it 'slower lower' for nothing."
