If you live in one of those four states, your vote can decide the Senate.

Snippet from today's Washintton Post:

In the battle for the House, Democrats appear almost certain to pick up more than the 15 seats needed to regain the majority. Republicans virtually concede 10 seats, and a split of the 30 tossup races would add an additional 15 to the Democratic column.

The Senate poses a tougher challenge for Democrats, who need to gain six seats to take control of that chamber. A three-seat gain is almost assured, but they would have to find the other three seats from four states considered to have tossup races -- Virginia, Tennessee, Missouri and Montana.

The Times adds Michigan and Maryland to the picture:

--

Democrats and Republicans said the battle over the Senate had grown fluid going into the final hours before the elections on Tuesday. Democrats said they thought they were almost certain to gain four or five seats and still had a shot at the six they need to take control.

Republicans were pouring money into Senate races in Michigan and Maryland this weekend to take advantage of what they described as last-minute opportunities, however slight, in states currently held by Democrats. And a new poll Saturday showed that Senator Conrad Burns, the Montana Republican, was tied with his challenger after a visit there by President Bush....

“It’s the worst political environment for Republican candidates since Watergate,” said Glen Bolger, a Republican pollster working in many of the top races this year.

I already voted in Montana. If the race goes to our Republican incumbent who has about a 40% approval rating, makes racist comments at least once a month, and is caught up in the Abramoff scandal, I will give up. Forever.

Sounds like he and George Allen could be best buds

Never give up. You have to keep fighting the good fight. There's always another race.

I voted in Virginia. I absolutely hate that Allen is even still in the running.

I flew to Tennessee to vote last week. I live in a very blue state now. I figure I will leave my info active in TN as long as I can.

My family has always been divided down the middle. My grandmother, grandfather and myself usually go Dem while my mom, dad and brother go Rep. I don't know about my brother because he is not talking, but my mom voted for Ford, Jr. So, instead of just cancelling each other out, we got at least two votes on the blue side. I did have to vote republican for our state rep, but only because he is a friend. It caused me pain to push the button.
