Another interesting note from MSNBC. They're saying the Tea Party at 37% support is weakest in Nevada and Illinois (I think Illinois). Anyhow, I remember posting a couple months ago that Tea Party support was in the low 20% range. They clearly picked up steam.
Kasich wins governor of Ohio. I think that's a sweep of every race in Ohio for the republicans. Kasich is one of few republicans I have huge respect for. Toomey declared winner of PA senate race by AP, MSNBC refuses to call it.

http://chicago.cbslocal.com/2010/11/02/republican-mark-kirk-wins-senate-race/ CHICAGO (CBS) – Republican Mark Kirk has captured the Senate seat once held by the president, dealing an embarrassing blow to Democrats, according to projected numbers from the Associated Press. Despite only 96 percent of precincts reporting at 11:15 p.m., with Kirk leading 48 to 46 percent for Giannoulias, the AP projects a victory for Kirk. Kirk defeated Illinois Treasurer Alexi Giannoulias in one of the nation’s ugliest and most closely watched Senate races to fill the Senate seat once held by President Barack Obama.

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/us_election_rdp Tea time: Republicans locking up House control WASHINGTON – Republicans marched toward House control Tuesday night in midterm elections shadowed by recession, locking up enough Democratic seats to install a conservative majority certain to challenge President Barack Obama at virtually every turn. Speaker-in-waiting John Boehner, his voice breaking with emotion, called the results "a repudiation of big government and a repudiation of politicians who refuse to listen to the people." Despite gains, Republicans fell short in their effort to gain control of the Senate and take full command of Congress. They also wrested at least eight governorships from Democrats. Boehner and his Republicans needed to gain 40 seats for a majority, and had exactly that number in hand a few minutes before midnight in the East. They led for another 24.

LOL Maddow saying Harry Reid's victory was devastating for the Republicans. Wake up, Rachel. They won 85% of every election held today.
