So along with generally positive returns (if not a majority) for the Democratic Senate and gubernatorial candidates in Georgia, the initial exits in North Carolina look pretty good for Kay Hagan. Jeanne Shaheen seems to be edging ahead in NH as well, and while the VA SEN results continue to startle everyone, at least one media outlet (Buzzfeed) is calling that race for Warner.

Polls are just now closing in a passel of states, but exit polls only available in a couple. Looks like the Maine governor’s race is going to be close.

Meant to note earlier that the national exit polls did indeed show the kind of startling age disparities I wrote about earlier today: 18-29 year olds represent 12% of the electorate. Over-65s are 25%. Yikes.
