        In Senate races we went 23-12. We'd have needed to go 25-10 just to hold serve.

        This was a blue wave, it just wasn't a tsunami. I don't know what people expected.
        Exactly. It’s the state legislatures that matter at his point. Given the number of seats that separated us from republicans being able to rewrite the constitution, this was some much needed breathing room.

          Minnesota stayed 5-3 for Federal Reps. We have one rural Dem left and when he retires that district will go full derp as well.

            In the end, trying to extract a trend from the Senate results, versus the House results, in kind of pointless. With the House, you have everything up for grabs, so the end result is a decent correlation with what is happening (though maybe not perfect due to things like gerrymandering). With the Senate, you're trying to infer things off of a third; in this case, a really one-sided third; you're more comparing with 2006 and 2012, both really odd years, than you are with 2016.

              If any of you, from libs to cons to loonitarians want a good laugh, you should check out the comments section of the early daily kos elections blogs! Upon learning that Dems had failed to capture a tough Kentucky race (KY has the earliest poll closing time) 90% of the posters were convinced that the GOP was a cinch to keep the House and hold their losses to single digits. I'm also fairly certain some of them hired movers to relocate to Canada at first light the following morning. Point is, there's a lot of Scooby's out there!

              Regarding updates with recent calls in NM, WA and GA Dems are now up to a 31 seat gain and leading in 5 others. They're also down by a small amount in 3 CA races with lots of late ballots to be counted and the one Maine race that will go to an instant runoff eventually. Lastly there are 4 other uncalled House races with GOP in the lead (TX, NY, GA and NC) Not sure what the hold up is in those races.

                You always here a lot of talk about moving to Canada. Anyone know anybody who actually went? And bigger question is did Canada let them in? Some of the celebrities that always talk about it I'm not sure I'd want to let in.

                  I think if the Republicans are looking for a bright spot in this election, and it's certainly hard to find one from their prospective, it's this. A lot of the House wins came in suburban districts where the Democratic candidate beat out a fairly moderate Republican candidate in an area that is politically purple at best. Many of those races were pretty tight. Once the Republicans can rid themselves of Trump and the toxic reaction he creates for many suburbanites, the Republicans have at least some chance to try to win some of those seats back.
                  Haven't you heard? Any Republican who didn't slavishly attach their lips to Red Don's azz got smoked in the election.

                              I expected the red state Senate moderates would have had a better showing in this sort of environment. The fact that they didn't is very concerning because it suggests the Dems may not be competetive for a long, long time.

                              My only hope is that Sinema pulls her race out and that gives the Dems enough of a chance to reach 50 in 2020. If that's the case, there's a decent chance they've kept the House and taken the White House. First order of business...approve DC's petition for statehood.

                                Ari Melber made the case for a Blue Wave tonight. Very compelling argument. He convinced me.
