Dems break their losing streak

Finally! Out of their batter's slump...the dems seem to be picking up nicely on the House and Senate...we'll see where it all ends up tomorrow AM.

(CNN) -- Democrats will take control of the House of Representatives for the first time since the 1994 Republican Revolution, CNN projects.

Democratic challengers have also picked up three seats in the Senate, CNN projects. They would need to win three of four competitive races where winners have not yet been projected to win control of the chamber. Results are still too close to call in Missouri, Montana, Tennessee and Virginia.

Democrats will have a net gain of at least 15 seats to take the House when all votes are counted, CNN projects. (

"Tonight is a great victory for the American people," said Rep. Nancy Pelosi of California, set to be the first female speaker of the House. She said Democrats now had a mandate to make changes.
