The Democrats can't get to 60 now, but they are at 56 Senate seats (assuming they don't exile Joe Lieberman) with Alaska still voting and both Minnesota and Oregon too close to call. So they can still get close enough to make Mitch McConnell's job nigh impossible. I haven't seen any exit polls from Alaska but the other two states aren't yet out of reach. It looks like McCain has held Obama to a less than 10-point lead in Minnesota, which I predicted would bode well for Norm Coleman. My predictions haven't always panned out, but I've been right more often than not. I'm still holding to this one, though Coleman's margin is razor-thin right now.
UPDATE: Obama's margin is currently at exactly 10, yet Coleman is still just barely hanging on with 80 percent reporting.

Regarding Franken, I'd almost be tempted to say, "the worse the better...bring him on!".
Except Biden somehow achieved an unassailable position as a beloved and respected figure; and Pelosi and Reid have just been rewarded for their overwhelmingly reviled leadership; and Congressmen Frank and Murtha yet endure; and...
I just can't be confident that, in the current climate, even a Senator Franken's antics and nastiness would wind up doing as much damage to his own party as one might expect in a sane world.
