Democrats win House, may control Senate

The Senate seats of Montana and Virginia are center stage today as control of the Senate hung in the balance based on results from those two undeclared races. Democrats, meanwhile, picked up at least 28 seats in the House.

The media is reporting Democratic gains reflect voter discontent over Iraq, government corruption and the economy. The Mark Foley scandal probably didn't win too many conservative hearts, either.

In Virginia and Montana, recounts or legal challenges could delay the final outcome for days. Democrats moved within striking distance by ousting Republicans in Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island and Missouri.
