Counting down to US elections: 0 days (update 2)

From many, many polling and analytics sources, it looks like the Democrats are set to take over the US House of Representatives with a majority anyone between the tens to the thirties. Many Senate indicators but the GOP and Dems at 50-50, if you count Independent Sen. Joe Liebermann (previously Democrat, of Connecticut) as a Democrat. The Democrats are almost certain to have a good majority over Republicans in Governor races.

I will be focusing mainly on the Senate since it is easy to track (100 seats versus the House's 400-some), bears more influence per member than the House, and is going to be really close. (I don't consider the Governor party affiliation nearly as important, for obvious reasons: many times GOP Governors act like Dems, and vice versa... the same goes for how they are elected. And there is not much of a caucus.)
