A good night but I don't know if as good as expected???

Rep. held Ohio and Fl - both big.
Dems. got Wisc and can't recall if Colo. was D. before.

I was glad Collins (NY) lost. Hoping Hunter (Calif) and Menendez (NJ) would not win and King from Iowa or Idaho??.

I think people are deceived themselves if they thought Betto would win Fl. Abrams in GA and Menendez would loose in NJ.

I wanted the blond from Arizona to win - for selfish reasons although she needs smaller glasses.

that would have been the biggest upset of the night, considering he was running in Texas

No, not as big as expected (maybe more accurately, not as big as hoped), not nearly what the GOP got in 2010. But the GOP was very, very lucky with which senate seats happened to be up.

But if I was a democrat, I'd be excited about how close the senate races are in AZ and TX. I'd also be scared to death about Ruth Bader Ginsberg's fall.

Yes, should have said "hoped" by the Dems.

Rib injuries are painful. But if they happen on a Thurs. night the pain will be much less on Monday morn. Pain pills help

Inside joke.
