    Today is not looking good for Democrats...understatement of the year.

    What are your predictions for today's election outcome?

    I'm going with:

    In the House 229 Republicans, 206 Democrats...with possible defections to Republicans.

    In the Senate 52 Democrats, 48 Republicans

    Governorships 30 Republicans, 20 Democrats

    Nate Silver has a terrifying article on how it's possible Republicans could easily pick up over 77 seats in the House and 9 in the Senate. If that happens Lieberfuck will switch parties the next day and Republicans would own both.

    They can tell by exit polls whether a race will go one way or the other in some cases.

    Under 52 Democrat Senate: 100 Lenny

    Harry Reid loses: 100 p00py

    One time!!!

    Nope. But you can count both Murkowski and Miller in AK as Republicans.

    That's cool, still like my chances for a straight up Republican majority in the Senate. Either way it's gonna be a Bloodbath tonight for the Dems. How long have I been saying that?

    Long enough that you deserve credit.

    Tell you what though. If it ends up 50-50 tonight but Lieberfuck switches parties to give the Republicans the Senate, I will call it a push and send you back the $25.

    I can no longer watch msnbc. I once got an erection watching rachel maddow.

    I fear anymore exposure will plunge my sexuality into complete ambiguity.
