King Ding A Ling Obama cant out a spin on this. The citizens have slapped him in the face today. All's we need is one more Senate seat to get the majority and we have already won the House. it's a bad day for Libbos........

Fox News projects that Republicans are making another two pick-ups in the battle for the Senate. This brings their total so far to five, with just six needed to take control of the Senate.

In Montana, Republican Steve Daines is projected to defeat Democrat Amanda Curtis, flipping control of the seat to the Republican Party for the first time since 1913.

In Colorado, GOP Rep. Cory Gardner is projected to oust first-term Democratic Sen. Mark Udall, one of the most closely watched contests in this election cycle.

ORIGINAL STORY ...

Republicans have picked up three Senate seats, Fox News projects, bringing them halfway to the six seats needed to take the majority.

In the latest pick-up, Fox News projects that South Dakota Republican Mike Rounds will beat Democrat Rick Weiland and independent Larry Pressler to replace retiring Democratic Sen. Tim Johnson.

GOP Rep. Tom Cotton also will unseat two-term Democratic Sen. Mark Pryor in Arkansas and Shelley Moore Capito will beat Democrat Natalie Tennant for an open Senate seat in West Virginia, Fox News projects.

In another key win, Senate GOP Leader Mitch McConnell won re-election to his Kentucky seat.

In a setback for Republicans, Democratic Sen. Jeanne Shaheen will beat Republican challenger Scott Brown, Fox News projects. It was one of the most closely watched races in the country.

But overall, it's a strong start to the night for Republicans as returns continue to come in.

In Kentucky, McConnell defeated Democrat Alison Lundergan Grimes, Kentucky's secretary of state. This is a big win for Republicans because Kentucky was one of the few states where Democrats thought they had a chance of flipping a Senate seat from red to blue. It's also significant because if Republicans take control of the Senate, McConnell will likely seek to replace Democrat Harry Reid as the next Senate majority leader.

In his victory speech, McConnell seemed bullish about his party's chances.

"Tomorrow, the papers will say I won this race, but the truth is ... tonight we begin another one, one that's far more important than mine -- and that's the race to turn this country around," McConnell said in Louisville.

He said some things won't change next year, but lawmakers and the White House don't have to be in "perpetual conflict" and "have an obligation to work together."

The West Virginia seat won by Capito is being vacated by retiring Democrat Jay Rockefeller.

The closely watched race in New Hampshire between Democratic incumbent Sen. Jeanne Shaheen and Republican challenger Scott Brown, meanwhile, remains too close to call.

Polls have closed in several other states, but key races there are too close to call -- most notably, in Virginia, where Republican Ed Gillespie is running a late-surging campaign against Democratic Sen. Mark Warner.

According to Fox News exit polls, this race is looking much closer than it did in pre-election polling, in which Warner, a former Virginia governor, held a months-long, 20-point lead over Gillespie, the former chairman of the Republican National Committee. Gillespie eventually cut that lead in half, but the race now appears even closer.

Polls are also closed in North Carolina, but the crucial Senate race between Democratic incumbent Kay Hagan and Republican challenger Thom Tillis is too close to call.

In the Colorado Senate race, Republican Rep. Cory Gardner has a slight lead over first-term Democratic Sen. Mark Udall. But it is too early to project a winner in that race. The same goes for Kansas, where the Senate's most vulnerable Republican incumbent Pat Roberts is facing independent Greg Orman, who has a slight lead.

It is also too early to project whether the Louisiana Senate race will go to a runoff on Dec. 6, although it may be headed in that direction. In Georgia, likewise it is too early to call a winner in the closely fought race between Republican businessman David Perdue and Democrat Michelle Nunn. If neither candidate exceeds 50 percent of the vote, the election will drag on for another two months, with a runoff set for Jan. 6.

Republicans are aiming for a big election night as polls continue to close in other states -- hoping that two years of intensive campaigning will net them the six seats they need to take over the Senate, even as top Democrats vow their ground game ultimately will keep the Senate in their hands.

At stake are 435 House seats, 36 Senate seats, and another 36 gubernatorial races.

The U.S. Senate battle, with control of Capitol Hill at stake, is the most closely watched. If Republicans win (and keep the House), it gives them full control of Congress during President Obama's last two years in office.

Fox News also projects that the following Republican incumbents will win re-election: Sen. Thad Cochran in Mississippi; Sen. Lamar Alexander in Tennessee; Sen. Susan Collins in Maine; Sen. Mike Enzi in Wyoming; Sen. Lindsey Graham in South Carolina; Sen. John Cornyn in Texas, Sen. Jeff Sessions in Alabama; and Sen. James Inhofe in Oklahoma. Fox News also can project that Republican James Lankford will win the seat being vacated by Republican Tom Coburn, and serve out the remaining two years of his term. And Sen. Tim Scott, appointed to the seat vacated by Jim DeMint in December 2012, will now serve out the final two years of that term.

Fox News also projects university president Ben Sasse, a Republican, will beat Democrat David Domina for an open Nebraska Senate seat.

Fox News can project, based on exit polling, that the following Democratic senators will win re-election: Sen. Dick Durbin in Illinois; Sen. Cory Booker in New Jersey; Sen. Al Franken in Minnesota; Sen. Ed Markey in Massachusetts; Sen. Chris Coons in Delaware; and Sen. Jack Reed in Rhode Island.

In Michigan, Democrat Gary Peters is projected to win an open seat.

The Obama factor may weigh heavily over the vote Tuesday night. Fox News Exit Polls show more than a third of voters -- 34 percent -- said they voted to show they're opposed to Obama's policies. That number was a bit higher in 2010.

By contrast, just 20 percent voted to show support for Obama. Forty-five percent said it was not a factor.

The economy is by far the biggest issue for voters; 43 percent said it was the most important issue. Of those worried about the direction of the economy, they voted for the Republican candidate by a 20-point difference, exit polls show.

Most the campaigning and the big money in recent months have concentrated on roughly 10 competitive contests. Seven were for seats held by Democrats: in Alaska, Arkansas, Colorado, Iowa, Louisiana, New Hampshire and North Carolina.

Three were for seats held by Republicans: in Georgia, Kansas and Kentucky.

Surprise developments colored the elections in several states -- most notably, the Democratic candidate's decision to drop out of the race for Senate in Kansas.

His decision immediately boosted independent Greg Orman in his race against longtime GOP Sen. Pat Roberts, who until that race shakeup was leading in the polls.

In Kentucky, Grimes also suffered a PR blow after she repeatedly refused to say whether she voted for Obama. In the final days of the race, both campaigns turned to accusing each other of putting out inappropriate mailers.

There's a possibility America won't even know the outcome on election night.

Late-tallied votes from rural Alaska and a likely runoff in Louisiana between Democratic Sen. Mary Landrieu and Republican challenger Rep. Bill Cassidy - and a possible runoff in the Georgia race, where a nominee must get 50 percent of the votes to win -- could keep control of the Senate undecided for days, or even until next year.

On the House side, all 435 House seats are on the ballot. Of them, 233 are held by Republicans and 199 held by Democrats. The other three races are for vacant seats. Democrats would need 17 seats to take the majority, an unlikely possibility. Rather, Republicans are expected to pick up at least five more seats.

At the state level, nearly a dozen U.S. governors are considered in political peril, making it one of the toughest years for incumbent governors in decades.

Wow, closed mind, get to know so much that way. But that's ok, FOX can get boring but CBS is saying it even better. Sorry don't get NBC, shame, they should be making up all kinds of stories and crying in their beer about now. Now that would be entertainment.

And now what? What is actually going to change? All we have is the red team in control of the legislature but not so much as to override a veto so still at deadlock which actually is a good thing unless they are voting to quit.

Wonder if they will try to overturn Odumbocare? Or will it just fail on it's own?

i'd answer, but it would be like.......
Bill Maher trying to explain satire to Rush Limbaugh....

Oh look, Kay "Isn't Odumbo Great" Hagan has been booted out but by whom, an even bigger crook wearing red.

So just who really won here, definitely not the people.

Bill Maher! Bill Maher trying to explain anything to anybody would be rife with incorrectness, and not just political. He is known as a comedian and political commentator, how can one tell which is which as far as he is concerned.

I really don't think anything will change.
I don't believe anything will improve until a significant majority of voters go to the booth and answer 3 questions:
"Affiliated with any type of party, ever?"
"Incumbent?"
"Are they vague in their plans or offering me some sort of feel good patriotic or emotional for the children/family bs?"

And then vote based on being able to answer "no" to those 3 questions.


I don't think Obamacare will be allowed to fail.
Just like Social Security.
Turn it into an unfunded liability then use it as a political hostage and weapon since it is then directly linked to taxes and benefit changes.

"Vote for me and we'll fight obamacare!"
"They're threatening to raise your health care rates and throw grandma over the cliff into dogfood, don't let them win!"
"Higher taxes are necessary to compensate for those dirty businesses leaving the country and not paying their fair share!"

Really? How is her opponent a crook? What charge has he EVER been convicted of?

What will change politically probably wont be a lot. However, a lot more bills will reach the president's desk that he will have to veto. Things like securing our border without anything being in the bill to give legal status to illegals. He will veto those things and the public will hear about it. He does enough of those types of things then it will be very hard for their party to hold the presidency next election. Next two years will be damage control as far as he is concerned. He will need to do enough things to help keep his party in power. Priorities in Washington Party > Self > The People

eh, pretty much all electronic voting can be hacked, captured while it goes over the internet. So basically you can count all those votes as fraud.

https://firstlook.org/theintercept/2014/11/03/alaska-election-nightmare/

POTUS has veto power no matter how many bills now make it to his desk.

The thing is, they can't be killed in the senate by Slimy Reid anymore to claim the Repulsicons are "doing nothing to change anything", or protect an idiot presidency that doesn't have the slightest clue or opinion what he is told he stands for by his teleprompter and the Soros/Alinski speech writers

So basically, nothing changes. The people once again lose the lottery

Wyllie lost the Florida governorship race, but according to the media he was never in it , but at least we didn't get saddled with the Repulsicon/Demoncrap/Indie/fraudmister Crist to kill jobs, rob the people, and bankrupt a once again growing economy (if that's actually even possible under this admins policies) and screw things up any further here in Florida! Scott was a far better choice..... and that says little in reality except that Vets and seniors still have some kind of chance for a life here

Does anyone believe we might actually get out from under Obozocare? They will make noise/rhetoric about how they will "cut the purse strings" if it's not repealed, but then we'll hear about how they "only have 2 years" and it just wasn't enough time......

One thing about Repulsicons......

They know the more the people have/get the bigger the pie is to steal from

As far as Odumbocare is concerned, there is no "won't let" in fail. It will do so of it's own volition.

Yep, save money on your health care plan but not have any health care, the name of that game.

Why that's easy, he is a psychopathic politician that believes he is above the law and can't be held accountable. And to believe that between the two of them, they spent $113 million for a position that pays a paltry $174,000 a year. So there can't be any corrupt here, could there?

And let's not forget he was the speaker for the North Carolina house so he is very practiced at doing what anyone else would go to jail for.

But then most psychopathic statist would never understand any of this as they are so entrenched in that old master/slave environment to comprehend that the servants have voted themselves masters and what should have been the masters voluntary accept the position of the voluntary servitude, after all only the "police" have assumed the power of using involuntary servitude.

I think you have set your expectations much too high. There will be much hymning and hawing and some trivial matters will be resolved but nothing is really going to change. Odumbo is but a lame duck with an approval rating near the bottom but still it can go lower.

But this will be interesting as they set the stage for the Hilary and Jeb show. The sheeple will get what they little need but so justly deserve, either another Clinton or another Bush. And to think most of them will believe they had a choice.

Yea, who is Obola gonna blame this on?

Oh, look! It's Fox Derangement Syndrome making an appearance.
