Rise And Shine
The fate of all 435 House seats and 33 Senate seats as well as 36 races for governor and a slew of ballot measures around the country will be decided today... or if there are ballot-reading glitches, it might be more like tomorrow, the next day or next week. In any case, at some point in the very near future, American voters wil elect some new faces and perhaps new leadership on Capitol Hill. Democrats need 15 House seats or six Senate seats to form a majority, AP reports.
The most vulnerable GOP-held House seats include those in Arizona, Colorado, New York, Ohio and Iowa, according to the AP. Republican Reps. John Hostettler, Chris Chocola and Mike Sodrel of Indiana; Charles Taylor of North Carolina; Curt Weldon, Don Sherwood and Melissa Hart in the Keystone State; and Charles Bass of New Hampshire have been in especially challenging re-election races.
In the Senate, GOP incumbents like Rick Santorum in Pennsylvania and Ohio’s Mike DeWine were fighting furiously for their seats; Sens. Lincoln Chafee in Rhode Island and Montana's Conrad Burns somewhat less so, AP said. Stay tuned...
