Hold on, folks!! We're gonna get the Senate.
CBS just called MO-Sen for Claire McCaskill.
Tester is going to easily win in MT.

Now, in VA, Webb is ahead by almost 3,000 votes. It's likely that MacacaWitz will ask for a recount--wouldn't you? Unfortunately, that's too many votes. If things are as these things usually go, only a few hundred votes will go one way or the other. It is *extremely* unlikely that that many votes will flip to MacacaWitz.

Then, we will have 51-49 in the Senate!!!
