Dems looking good to take the house. I don't know how we'll see picking up governor's seats in places like Kansas but losing them in FL and probably GA in the weeks ahead.

Senate was always going to be tough given the map.

CNN now predicting Dems will be up 35 or more in House.

Going into tonight, my expectations were that the Dems would win the House, some Gov races, and a lot of local races. I didn't expect to do well in the Senate. The math was just not there.

So far, it's going as expected.

Sarah on NBC reporting that Trump's agenda won, and is validated by his campaign efforts picking up senate seats. That makes me ill.

Kansas has taken a beating because of GOP policies. Even some GOP lawmakers there were saying that maybe they were wrong about tax cuts leading to growth. Their budget was destroyed.

I've been to Kansas. Worked with both the people, and the state government... they are not so terribly friendly to the word Democrat. Kombach was obviously defective off the carousel, but on that ride I am surprise they were able to actually see clearly to stop him from holding higher office.
