Will this be a long night?

[question everything]

From the WSJ:

The good news: Many of the most important races are in the Eastern and Central time zones. If an angry tide is poised to swamp Republicans, it could be apparent before most political junkies call it a night. Connecticut, Florida, Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania and New York together hold 24 of the most competitive House seats in the country.

1. I think it could still be a long night.

I hope not though. I'd like to get to sleep at some point.

2. Kentucky has two(possibly three) competitive seats in it.

3. You forgot NY20

the dem Kirsten Gillibrand is ahead by 3pts in the last week. The repuke is John Sweeney, the newspaper did a report on his wife abuse last week so he's embroiled in scandal. The polls close here at 9pm, Elliot Spitzer is 48pts ahead, Hillary and Cuomo are way out ahead too so we hope for long coattails.
