At this relatively early point in the proceedings, Democrats appear to be heading toward solid, if not overwhelming gains this election night. At least one race which earlier in the year seemed out of Democratic hands -- the Senate race in Indiana -- has already been called for the Democratic candidate.
In the Presidential race, even Fox News commentator Brit Hume is opining that Romney will have to get what is known as an "inside straight" in order to win the Presidency.
In the House, the Democratic tide appears as of this writing to be insufficiently strong to bring the Democrats back to majority status. But any diminishing of Republican power will be welcome. As I have said so many times, this is not the Republican party of John Rhodes, and Bob Michel. I predict a continuing fracturing of the Republican power structure as was seen leading up to the Democratic defeat in 2006.
