It’s unlikely that Democrats will pick up enough seats to re-take control the House of Representatives, NewsHour analyst Mark Shields said on Tuesday evening’s program: “Barack Obama has won a Lone Ranger campaign,” without coordinating tightly with House and Senate candidates. “There hasn’t been that sense of a unified message … but they’re fighting history – there hasn’t been a president re-elected with a pickup of more than 10 House seats.” -

All eyes are on Virginia, which is closing in just minutes.
In August, Judy reported from northern Virginia, where undecided voters were predicted to likely determine which candidate would win the Old Dominion's 13 electoral votes. The presidential campaigns had focused their efforts on winning over those undecideds, especially suburban women.
The president carried Virginia by seven percentage points in 2008, but the race is expected to be closer this year. -

Latest from AP: WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama won Vermont and former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney countered with Kentucky Tuesday in a duel for the White House shadowed by a weak economy and high unemployment that crimped middle class dreams for millions.
Romney led in the early popular vote by a margin of 63 percent to 35 percent, unsurprisingly so since many of the early reporting precincts were from reliably Republican Kentucky and Indiana.
In the competition for electoral votes, where the outcome will be decided, the challenger had 8, Obama 3, with 270 needed to win the White House.
Voters also chose a new Congress to serve alongside the man who will be inaugurated president in January, Democrats defending their majority in the Senate, and Republicans in the House. Eleven states picked governors, and ballot measures ranging from gay marriage to gambling dotted ballots.
The economy was rated the top issue by about 60 percent of voters surveyed as they left their polling places. About 4 in 10 said it is on the mend. -
