Obama will win easily. If McCain wins Pennsylvania, then he has a fighting chance, which is why he’s been campaigning so heavily there. But if that happens, it will be a pretty big upset, and things could get really interesting.
Democrats will gain at least 5 Senate seats, possibly even more on Obama’s coattails. The big news tonight will be if the Democrats get a filibuster-proof 60 seats total, which I don’t think will happen but is certainly possible. This will be a difficult election to have polled since there are so many new voters.
Democrats will pick up seats in the House, but that doesn’t really change anything.

We’re having an election party tonight! On the menu is brauts (in lieu of hot dogs), popcorn balls, and apple pie! We’ve left up the Halloween decorations, which I think is probably fitting.
