Democrats hit Republicans in face

I can't sum up the night's events so far much better than the Sun newspaper's front page splash: JADE HITS A GRAN IN FACE. (If you live outside the UK, and don't understand who Jade is, take it from me, you'll do just fine in life without knowing.) But my colleague Richard Adams certainly can, with a brilliant analysis on the parties' performances over at Comment Is Free (although I suspect him of napping). And MyDD has more on what's looking like a 30-seat net gain for Democrats in the House. Meanwhile, the New York Times bloggers have gone to bed! Lightweights.

UPDATE: Don't take that 30-seat gain as anything like gospel yet. Lots of sources aren't so confident.

UPDATE II: In case you missed it, another incisive analysis.

UPDATE III, 9.05am GMT: I'm determined not to collapse until something happens in Montana. But they're taking their time. Dems are on 49%, Reps on 48%, with 82% of precincts reporting.
