Election 2006

11 p.m.

Senate race in Virginia remains very, very, very close. Recount, anyone?

Ah-nuld leading in California. No surprise. Big-mouth J.D. Hayworth, R-Ariz., out of the House. Heath Shuler wins in North Carolina, another Blue Dog Democrat. Better politician than quarterback. Corker still holds lead in Tennessee. A third of the vote still left in Missouri Senate seat. Tennessee marriage amendment way out in front.

More tomorrow.

10 p.m. Update

Fox is calling control of the House belongs to the Democrats. Allen continues with slim lead in Virginia Senate race. Missouri is too close to call with the St. Louis votes still out. Many are calling the Maryland Senate seat to remain in Democratic hands, but the Republican Steele actually leads with urban votes not in.

Crist will be the next governor of Florida. Foley seat lost to Democrats. Democrats take Ohio governor and U.S. Senate races. Indiana Republicans hit hard in House contests. Good news: Hastert is out as speaker. Bad news: Katherine Harris lookalike Nancy Pelosi is in. Not a serious person to be leading a resurgent Democratic Party, fueled by Blue Dog wins -- not liberal conquests. Beebe wins in Arkansas. Spitzer is the new governor of New York.

Oh, and Britney Spears apparently filed for divorce. Do you think she even knew there was a national election today?


9 p.m. Update

In Pennsylvania, Santorum is out of the U.S. Senate. Lieberman appears to be back in for Connecticut. Bill Nelson beats Katherine Harris in Florida. The Klan faction is 2-for-2, with Lott winning in Mississippi and Byrd gaining his 78th term in West Virginia. Chafee, barely a Republican, loses to an actual Democrat in Rhode Island.

Allen leads in Virginia; Corker in Tennessee; Talent in Missouri. Democratic chances to take the Senate aren't falling. Democrats are poised to take over the U.S. House.

Bob Riley (R-Ala.), Phil Bredesen (D-Tenn.), Rick Perry (R-Texas), Sonny Perdue (R-Ga.) and Mark Stanford (R-S.C.) cruising to re-election. Charlie Crist (R) leads in Florida; Beebe (D) ahead early in Arkansas.
