Results

I don't know that anybody's coming to me for results of the horse race throughout the evening, but if you are, you're better off going elsewhere. I'm not going to be updating, because all I'd be doing is parroting information you can get in any number of other places faster. Early on, exit polls look good for the Democrats, but we've certainly seen that before.

If you want to avoid the mainstream media, TPM Cafe is running a nifty scoreboard, or you could go straight to the Democratic horse's mouth on House races at the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee site. But if you're willing to whore yourself out for the mainstream-media bells and whistles, CNN has a flashy site at America Votes, with subsites for Senate and House results. MSNBC has its election page, too, but it seems a bit too unwieldy for my tastes.

As of now, no doubt to the surprise of everyone, Ted Kennedy, Robert Byrd, Dick Lugar, Bill Nelson (who defeated Katherine Harris), and Olympia Snowe are keeping their Senate seats. Bernie Sanders is the new senator from Vermont. I'll be back later when most of the shouting is over (or has just begun, as the case may be).

And in really important news, Britney's dumping K-Fed.
