(Nearly) Every politician will use (nearly) any tool to get elected. It seems as if Democrats have successfully used fear to spur their base into showing up at the polls.
I was wrong in my prediction.
As a result the Republican tide will not wash as high as it might have. If fear of the evil, insane, Republicans was instilled deep enough than we could even see Reid hold on to NV (not that Angle was that great of a candidate) and I might have to listen to Barbara Boxer's voice for another 6 years. Luckily, she is such a poor legislator that she will probably not sponsor any more signature legislation than she has these first 18 years.
The night begins. Perhaps there will be surprises. I am watching the House races most closely because of the lack of polling in many of these elections. Also the Governors' races since we will be redistricting before 2012 and those lines will have a large impact for a decade to come. Each state (as I recall) has its own rules for how the lines are to be drawn but most states allow the state legislator and Governor to have their hand in the pie.
