Witching Hour

We are in the weird zone at just after 7 pm EST, when nobody really knows anything and political types are flashing inside information around the country.

I picked up the following from a Democratic source. It sounds very promising for Democrats, but don't jump to conclusions at this hour.

First-breakout of exit polls for Senate races in eight states show Democrats leading:

Virginia 52-47. Rhode Island 53-46. Pennsylvania 57-42. Ohio 57-43. New Jersey 52-45. Montana 50-48. Maryland 52-46.

Republicans are leading in Tennesseee 51-48 and Arizona 50-46.

Again, don't pop any corks yet...but this does make a nice start for the evening.

    There was that one where Spock and Bones go to the Ice Age and Kirk to the 17th Century. If memory serves, Mariette Hartley was in it.

  3. It looks like youth voter turnout was up significantly in many places. (See http://www.newvotersproject.org) With so many close races, that might very well have made a big difference in some places.
