What a night for Democrats nationally! Obama wins Indiana and sweeps the rust belt. He takes Florida to exorcise the demons of 2000. Liddy Dole goes down to a crushing defeat in Jesse Helms old seat in North Carolina. Those were of course just some of the highlights nationally.

Republican Elizabeth Dole was ousted from the Senate last night by an eight-point margin. After months of a tough and often negative campaign, her opponent, Kay Hagan , became the first Democrat since 1973 to claim the seat long-held in Jesse Helms's iron grip.
