More interesting things.  According to pollster.com, the Senate Breakdown (remember, only about 1/3 of seats are up for election every year) should be:

Democrats: 54
Republicans: 41
Independents (both of whom sit with the Democratic caucus): 2
Undecided: 3 (but all are in traditionally strong Democratic states, so they'll probably fall into the Democratic column).

Interestingly, both Obama and Biden will need to be replaced in the Senate.  Usually, the Governor of the state in which those seats are held choose the replacement until the next election (again usually).  Obama is from Illinois, the governor is a Democrat, so will be replaced by a Democrat.  Biden is from Delaware, one of the most solidly Democratic states, and the Democratic candidate for governor is leading by a huge margin, so expect a Democratic replacement there.

According to pollster.com, the House of Representatives should fall as follows:

Democrats:  240
Republicans: 179
Undecided:  16

So the Democrats should control all three major elective groups.   Talk• Contributions "
