From NBC News:
Americans who said they were tired of partisan bickering apparently elected a divided Congress Tuesday, giving Republicans control of the House of Representatives but almost certainly handing Democrats a razor-thin hold on the Senate, NBC News projected. Among the embattled Democrats who held on to his job was Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid of Nevada, the network projected.
NBC News’ projections indicated that Democrats would hold at least 48 seats, including Reid’s in Nevada. Because the Senate’s two independents caucus with the Democrats, the best the Republicans could probably hope for was a 50-50 split. And that would be possible only if they swept the remaining tightly contested races in Colorado, Alaska and Washington.

Harry’s son, Rory, lost the Nevada Governors race by a large margin
Brian Sandoval isn’t even a quarter the crazy that Sharrrrron Angle is.
The Democrats owe their control of the senate to the Tea Party. Witch lady turned a sure thing in Delaware to a Democratic victory. Kick People in the Crotch Lady lost in Conn.
Don’t talk to the press but stare like you’re on drugs lady lost in Nevada.
Tea Party purists all, losers all.
and Ken Buck, who is the Tea Party boy even though he calls them “dumbasses” is making it a very long night in Colorado. Jane Norton would have been giving her victory speech in time for the 10 p.m. news.
