I now know a Senator\u2013Ben Sasse won in Nebraska!\u00a0 The biggest surprise so far is in my home state of Virginia, where Republican Ed Gillespie\u2013who no one thought had a chance\u2013is leading incumbent Democrat Mark Warner, though the election is too close to call as of this moment.\u00a0 Right now, 10:00 p.m., the Republicans are up 5 (beating Democratic incumbents in West Virginia, Arkansas, Montana, South Dakota, and Colorado), needing 6 to win the Senate majority, though that net gain could go down if they lose any incumbent seats.\u00a0 The Republicans have retained the House of Representatives, picking up 10 seats.<\/p>\n

My custom has been to stay up to watch election returns, but it\u2019s an hour later than the clock says, due to the recent daylight savings time shift that I haven\u2019t adjusted to yet, and I\u2019m\u00a0 getting sleepy.\u00a0 It\u2019s 10:39.\u00a0 I\u2019m going to bed.<\/p>\n

But you can learn the results of all the races, which should be announced by daylight,\u00a0 here:\u00a0 Politics, Political News \u2013 POLITICO.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n
