So, if you're a junkie, like me, the Senate is where to look right now. There are actually some routes to 60 for the Dems. The following things are still up in the air:
1) Oregon - Merkley could still win.
2) Minnesota - Franken could still win.
3) Georgia - Chambliss has to win a majority, not a plurality. If he doesn't, there's a runoff. Given that there's a lot of talk about the screwiness of the vote counting in Georgia, expect Dems to converge on GA in the coming weeks (e.g. shades of the flooding of Florida in 2000).
4) Alaska - Alaska will have a special election if the convicted Ted Stevens gets tossed from the Senate following his re-election. Folks seem to think that Ted Stevens gave sort of a "wink, wink" to Alaska saying, "Hey, even if I get thrown out, let's take our chance on a special election as opposed to sending a Democrat to the Senate." I've gotta hand it to the land of Palin. It doesn't get more maverick-y than electing a convicted felon. Hats off, Alaska.
