    And I should say Democrats are also very likely to hold on to their seat in Georgia, just for what it's worth.

    They look then likely as well to somewhere between a sort of toss-up and a lean Democratic seat in Texas and Ohio, where Democrats have got some good recruits in James Talarico and Sherrod Brown, a former incumbent senator of Ohio.

    LePage probably has the edge here... I think the prevailing attitude up here certainly is a LePage win, albeit narrow in this environment... LePage pretty clearly favored.

    that wave watch is that Virginia two seat. Trump carried that by less than a point. If, Elaine Laurie up doesn't beat Jen Higgins there, something's gone horribly wrong. Democrats should win that pretty handedly.
