Just before the western states (including Alaska) close their polls, a quick wrap up of the current numbers. The western states carry a large number of the house seats, so they’ll largely determine the size of the Republican majority in the House (although the Dems still think they can miraculously win [1] enough seats to hold the House).

I’m intrigued by the fact that some news agencies seem to be willing to call some races with much less of the vote counted than other news agencies. The different methods certainly make it interesting to watch.

House
FOX R 86 – 46 D
CBS R 155 – 105 D
ABC R 158 – 118 D
NBC R 115 – 68 D

Senate
FOX R 38 – 45 D
CBS R 41 – 47 D
ABC R 39 – 47 D
NBC R 39 – 47 D

So, now with the western states closing, standby for some clarity on the size of the margins. FOX are predicting a 60 seat majority (correction, they’re predicting a 60 seat gain, which would make a majority of 43) to the Republicans while NBC predicts a 37 seat majority.
