Before the polls even close, I have questions. Questions that can't be answered until, well, the polls close. So, before I forget them in all the excitement of called races, here is my incomplete list.
If Republicans win control of the Senate . . .
How long will it take for the emboldened majority to start pushing for Obama's impeachment?
Will Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) switch parties if the Senate goes Republican?
How soon will Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) take over as Senate Minority Leader?
Will hair-on-fire Democrats allow Hillary Clinton to wait until the New Year to say what her 2016 plans are?
If Democrats maintain control of the Senate . . .
Will the leadership of Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) be challenged, assuming he's reelected?
Will Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Tex.) become even more unbearable?
Will the GOP finally start paying attention to the autopsy of its disastrous 2012 presidential election?
And then there are questions whose answers depend on what happens tonight.
What was the African American vote in North Carolina, Louisiana, Georgia and Arkansas?
What was the Hispanic vote in Colorado?
Will there be changes to the White House senior staff?
How soon will President Obama announce his choice to succeed departing Attorney General Eric Holder?
How soon will Obama announce his promised executive action on immigration?
Will a Republican-controlled Congress raise the debt ceiling, which will be reached in March 2015?
With an even bigger and still-cranky majority, will Speaker Boehner be able to maintain the gavel in the 114th Congress?
Oh, and will the District of Columbia elect its first white, openly gay mayor?
