United States Midterm Elections 2014: Today is the Day

Every seat in the House, 33 of the 50 Senate seats, and 38 of 50 gubernatorial races are on the ballot nationwide. This includes local races as well.

Some interesting races to watch, including in the House District 2 serving the 'Research Triangle' area of North Carolina. Incumbent Renee Ellmers will run against--yes folks--Clay Aiken. That Clay Aiken. Will he lose yet again?

Also with Rick Perry's term ending, the next Texas Governor will be elected tonight. One of the candidates has been publicly known in the Texas legislature for her pro-choice stance regarding abortion (Wendy Davis); will Texans have the smarts to not vote for her?

So many races, and I'll be tweeting tonight. Follow me at @MorganShow1.

Assessement of the U.S. Senate Elections 2012.

Tammy Baldwin was among the dozen or more who will be freshmen Senators once the session opens in January. Baldwin defeated former Wisconsin governor Tommy Thompson (and former Bush cabinet member) for the vacated Senate seat for Wisconsin. It was an historic election for Baldwin, where in her victory speech, claimed that she will become the first member of the Senate to become 'openly gay.' For the record, 'Nimrod' Allen finished 4th at 1% of the vote. Why am I bringing him up? Because of the name. His first name is 'Nimrod.' He ran as an independent.

The Senate will once again be majority Democrat with 53 members; the same number of Democrats in the Senate from 2010. Republican seats in the Senate decreased from 47 in 2010, to 45 in 2012. Key Republicans including Bob Corker (Tennessee) are returning to the Senate. Another Republican-Ted Cruz-won the vacated Senate seat in Texas previously held by three-term (?) Senator Kay Bailey Hutchinson, who was a Republican. Hutchinson, and fellow Senate Republican Olympia Snowe (Maine) are retiring.

Former US Congressman Bernie Sanders (Vermont) won his election. An independent in the house will remain an independent in the Senate.

The question remains: will Harry Reid still become Majority Leader? Will another Democrat-such as Claire McCaskill, Jon Tester or Kirsten Gillibrand-who won re-election on Tuesday will take over? Anything to keep away from those two morons from California.

Remember it's a majority of 60 that is needed for a majority to obtain power to filibuster. For a filibuster, 60 of 100 in the Senate must stop a bill.

Let the fun (and backstabbing) begin.
