Sam Wang's Princeton Consortium http://election.princeton.edu/ - he has it very close - R 51 D/I 49 Meta Margin R +0.9 (as of 8 PM)

Nate Silver's 538 - http://fivethirtyeight.com/ - gives the Rs a 75% chance of grabbing the majority - his main story - "Dems Need Chaos" (find at the link)

Stu Rothenberg - http://blogs.rollcall.com/rothenblog/elections-2014-election-day-republicans-gains/?dcz= - predicts Repubs pick up 6-8 seats.

We voted (by mail) - and are hoping. And hoping. Big Time. That a larger than expected Dem voter turnout will swing this to the Dems.
