The Democratic Takeover Up Close: The Senate - By CQ Staff
Mon Nov 27, 11:13 PM ET
The Democrats accomplished their stunning takeover of both chambers of Congress by netting six Senate seats — exactly what they needed for a 51-49 majority, including Democratic-aligned Vermont Independent Bernard Sanders and self-described Independent Democrat Joseph I. Lieberman of Connecticut — and by nearly doubling the 15-seat net gain they needed to claim control of the House.
The following are for-the-record summaries, written by the CQPolitics.com reporters who followed these races all year, of how the Democrats captured six of the 15 Republican Senate seats that were up for election. The Democrats accomplished this while losing none of their own 18 seats that were up for election this year.
