wayfarer: Good.

Leila: The law forbids me from voting in one country and distance doesn’t allow me to vote in the other.

Dad: Thanks.

Here it goes. Webb follows Tester and downs Allen, the George.

Congratulations to all Democrates and their sympathisers, especially Zakaria and Captain Arrrgh

Does it mean if Tester and Webb win, Democrats take the senate also?

Yes. Democrats and Republicans both would then have 49 seats, but there are 2 independents who plan to side with the Democrats. So the Democrats will be in the majority (51-49).

Tester has now won in Montana. It was a close race.

We might have to wait till December for the Virginia Senate race between Allen and Webb if there is a recount as expected.

The CNN we get here is not the one in US. So we are not getting proper update.

Only two Senate races left to be decided and the Democrats have to win both for a majority. Currently, both are Republican seats.

Right now, Tester (D) is winning 50-47 against Burns ® with 69% of the precincts reporting.

The situation in Virginia is much closer with Webb (D) up by 7,800 votes with results from 99.63% precincts in. Since the remaining 9 precincts are in Democratic areas, Webb’s lead over Allen is probably safe. However, since it is less than 1%, a recount is likely. This might stretch the final results till December.

In the House results, the Democrats appear to be doing better than I predicted. They will probably end up with a gain around 35 seats.

Overall, a good day, I must say!

Though I have no idea of US elections but, somehow, I never liked stupid and cunning looking GW Bush as I do for Pervez Musharraf. They say birds of a feather flock together. So they are friends.

Congratulations. CNN has just called the House for the Democrats.

Now if George Allen loses in the Senate, it might be good.
