'Round midnight . . .

Sorry, I just couldn't resist the title. I was about to comment on some wins and losses at the midnight hour, as I head off to bed -- and the great Thelonious Monk title, made so popular by Ella Fitzgerald, popped into my head: "'Round Midnight."

So here, 'round midnight are some results:

Of hot senate races, the Democrats won in West Virginia, Delaware, California and are leading in Colorado, Nevada, and Washington. Republicans won Kentucky, Florida, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania and Illinois.

The Republicans will take the House with 60 or more seats flipping. Not the tsunami some had predicted, but still pretty bad. Barney Frank held on to his seat after a tough race. Two Dem seats in GA flipped to Repubs. Do-nothing Deal seems to have won GA's governor race.

The two multimillionaire, self-financing women in California both lost: Fiorina to Boxer for the senator and Whitman to Brown for governor.

And Lexington, KY elected its first gay mayor.
