Later, 10:00 p.m. CT: Landrieu down.

On Dec. 24, 2009, the Democratic-controlled Senate passed President Obama’s healthcare law with a filibuster-proof 60-vote majority, triggering a massive backlash that propelled Republicans to control of the House the following year.

On the Senate side, going into this year's midterm elections, 25 senators who voted for Obamacare were already out or not going be part of the new Senate being sworn in next month. After Democratic losses on Nov. 4 and Saturday's defeat of Sen. Mary Landrieu, D-La., the number has risen to 30.

In other words, half of the Senators who voted for Obamacare will not be part of the new Senate.

Later, 8:00 p.m. CT: results pending (click to refresh). An alternate, and perhaps better, site.
 

Original Post

The AP is reporting:

In the last election of the 2014 midterms, Louisiana voters Saturday decide the political fate of Democratic Sen. Mary Landrieu, who is struggling to win a fourth term against a wave of GOP gains across Southern states.

If Cassidy is successful, his win would add a ninth Senate seat pickup for the GOP, pushing their new majority to 54 seats in January and costing Democrats their last Senate seat in the Deep South.

Look how long this has taken:

• 1964: Southern Strategy -- five southern states give their electoral votes to Barry Goldwater, the start of the Republican takeover of the Deep South.

Completely inappropriate, but making the internet rounds:

I love Christmas lights! They remind me of the people who voted for Obama. They all hang together, half of them don't work, and the ones that do, aren't all that bright.
