And when all is said and done in the Senate (If Arizona Holds and Nelson wins his recount) ONLY two seats might be lost while defending 12 with a Pick-Up in Nevada.

This is a Damn good result with now 30 gained seats in the House for a Majority and 11 outstanding races -- where many are leading for the Dems. Also, now there are 25 Democratic Governors from a previous total of 18.

Folks need to stop listening to the Media on this and look at the numbers. The Blue Wave was real and happened.
