Ok, so what does the Downticket look like for Dems?

What are our chances to take the Senate? The House? (Had the Mass governor been a Democrat, I like Tim Kaine, but I think we would have gotten Elizabeth Warren) So...Governorships?

What's up where?

but we have a chance to pick up one of two House seats and get the state house back in Democratic hands. Turnout will matter very much.

it looked depressingly as if Republicans may pick up some more. But it gets more involved as which states could become or lose complete control by one party or the other is also important. I.e., a red state could keep governor and house but lose senate -- or finally take it from Democrats to get complete control.
