So far results have unfolded largely as expected; GOP now controls House

In Senate Toss-Ups:
Toomey(R) wins over Sestak(D) in PA
Kirk(R) beats Gianollias(D) in IL
Manchin(D) beats Raese(R) in WV
Reid(D) beats Angle(R) in NV (big hold for Dems)
Boxer(D) beats Fiorina(R) in CA


Colorado and Washington look too close to call as of now, and they are the last two Toss-Ups.  We may not know about Washington until tomorrow sometime due to their vote-by-mail system. 


In the House it looks like Republicans will win at least 60 seats.  Two sitting Democrat committee chairman have been unseated, and a number of Democrats lost seemingly because of their Health-Car Bill votes.  Three incumbent Virginia Democrats, Boucher, Nye, and Perriello, have been defeated.  Connelly, a Democrat incumbent from Fairfax, is holding onto a 500 vote lead, and will likely win by the narrowest of margins.
