Just after 9:30 here’s what we’re seeing so far. There are a lot of races still out but it seems clear that Republicans have taken the House. Indeed, it looks like the GOP is every so slightly over-performing in the House — if you consider the baseline a pick up of 50 seats or just over. On the other hand, the Dems are holding on so far in the Senate. And it looks like they may actually end up over-performing in the Senate. Far from clear. But they pulled out the critical West Virginia race and so far Pennsylvania, Illinois and even Wisconsin are too close to call. I’m not figuring any of those for Democratic wins. But they are at least still in the fight in a few races that didn’t even look possible. And they could well end up picking up one unexpected seat on that side.
That’s what it looks like so far. About what the polls were telling us — with GOP over-performing in the House and the Dems, possibly, doing the same in the Senate.
