Senate Returns on Thursday

The Senate will take a one-day breather on Wednesday and return to the floor on Thursday, November 9th!  It's been a long campaign-season break—last session was on Sept. 29th—but the senators will be back on CSPAN-2 Thursday for the introduction of new bills.

First, though, the elections.  I will be blogging the election in real time on Tuesday.  Again, my prediction is for a 50/50 split with key states going this-a-way:

Missouri—McCaskill (D)
Tennessee—Corker (R)
Virginia—Allen (R)
Montana—Tester (D)
New Jersey—Menendez (D)
Ohio—Brown (D)
Connecticut—Lieberman (I)
Arizona—Kyl (R)
Pennsylvania—Casey (D)
