NBC News is projecting that Democrats will pick up 29 seats (hm... I wonder what smart person projected that number ...) to retake control of the House of Representatives. Thus far, Dems have three of the six seats they need to take the Senate, although with Dixie holding strong for the GOP in Tennessee and Virginia, it'd not looking too damned likely.
CNN is being more cautious, only counting the 10 seats the Dems have in the bag for now. (BTW: Here's a good tracking chart courtesy of CNN.) The message of the night: the blue states are getting bluer, and the old Confederacy is almost all GOP.
We're still waiting on Montana and Missouri, as well as the probable recounts and lawsuits in TN and VA.
P.S., the House total could change ... upward.
Also, Michael Steele is refusing to concede the Senate seat in Maryland. The drama continues...
