The only good news is that 2020 is a Presidential and a Census year, so hopefully, with Presidential turnout, some purple state legislatures like VA and NC will go blue and we can have sane Congressional maps in those states.
Other than that, yup. At least for the next few years, until the demographics catch up. Or people under 50 begin voting in off year elections.
37% reporting though?
If he wins then there is no god.

Man this is is diablos hell lol
Just saw this on the news. There had to be something in the numbers that caused it to be called so early.
Baker also just took back the lead in MA gov.

Obama needs to follow Bill Clinton's last two years in office when he left the children in the congress squabbling while he tried to use the most muscle an executive branch has: overseas.
I'm resigning to the fact that Dems are going to get slaughtered every mid term. Dems constituents just don't have the drive to go out and vote like GOP constituents do in non-Presidential election years. 2006 was an anomaly that I can't see being repeated any time soon.
Dems have to over perform in Presidential election just to stay competitive, but every presidential elect won't have an Obama or his ground game to lift other candidates nationally.

Gotta say, I'm extremely surprised that polls seem to be ending up biased towards democrats. Really anxious to see the final turnout numbers, margin of victories, and exit polls to see where exactly this went wrong. Early indications seem to point at Democrats losing young people harder than anyone expected, but we'll see.
I can't believe a 46 D - 54 R senate is even a possibility at this point, and it might even be worse than that.

I don't think Obama will fold. He'll probably compromise on stuff, but he's not going to roll over for the GOP. He doesn't give a fuck anymore.

Look to the "independents" in the polls. D and R data is noise.

Also there's still filibuster / senate rules stuff. Not like the republicans are going to get rid of that.
Look on the brightside, we'll have a lot to laugh at over the next two years.

People have been saying that for a long time, but honestly I dont think we will ever see Dave Chapelle Black President any time soon. I can guarantee you 100% he will go on golf dates with boehner and try to compromise again and again.

Seems dems are running barely ahead of Obama on the south.
Guess he's not the problem after all

Honestly, what are you worried about? It's not as if the once-flowing spigot of legislation is going to come to dry up. You're already lived through the least productive congress on record.

The pollsters REALLY FUCKED UP.
I've already moved 270ToWin.com to my bookmarks bar and downloaded the app on my iPad.
The GOP doesn't really have two years.. once primary season begins, not much will get done at all. They'll be too busy fighting amongst themselves.

Eh not really. The bias wasnt that huge. Within margin of error

Scott winning Fl is the biggest disappointment for me, re: Medicaid expansion.
So sad.

Pollsters need to figure out what's going on. I mean 2012 was a bit of a mess and now 2014 is a different mess.
GOP will continue to take steps to diminish the role of the fillibuster, if not vaporze it instantly - citing the steps Reid took as precedent.
Honestly I think this is a good think in the long term and am HOPING they go down that road. But it will lead to some crazy shenanigans and showdowns.

It took 6 years of antibush buildup, Katrina, Iraq, a host of convergent Congressional corruption issues, among other things, to get to 2006. I'd be surprised if I see a midterm like that for the democrats more than one or two more times in my lifetime. Maybe that's me being dramatic, but even so, the differences in the turnouts has gotten completely crazy.
