Colorado Senate race still uncalled.
Michael Bennet has less than a 5,000 vote lead. 87% of the vote counted.
Nate Silver says Bennet will probably win this, but with 13% of the vote still to be counted, it's up in the air.
Also, a 1% margin of victory will trigger a recount, so Obama's favorite education whore shouldn't count on this Senate seat just yet.
But looks good for Bennet.
(Indeed, I see more votes have just been counted and his lead has expanded to 9,000 votes.)
Harry Reid held on in Nevada.
Obama's seat in Illinois is now held by a Republican.
Patty Murray is barely holding on in Washington - she has less than a 1% lead.
Murkowski has a 5 point lead in Alaska as a write-in. She will caucus with Republicans if she wins, obviously, so no change there.
Dems lost a total of 5 Senate seats - Indiana, Wisconsin, Illinois, Arkansas, Pennsylvania.
Republicans retook the House.
Say hello to Speaker Boehner.
Free tanning for everybody!!!
That's it from the national scene for now.
More later.
