We took back the House, thankfully, but control of the Senate rests on the results of two state races. Can you guess which state is one of those? I did not vote – I feel like I have failed Montana – as we finally got a democratic governor…last election!
(CNN) -- After polls closed on Election Day, Democrats were projected to pick up four GOP-held seats but must win the two remaining undecided races to gain control of the Senate.
Democratic candidates hold a lead in each of those two races -- in Virginia and Montana.
In Virginia, Democrat Jim Webb declared victory in his race against incumbent Republican Sen. George Allen early Wednesday, though a recount in the hotly contested election appeared likely.
"The votes are in, and we won," said Webb, who led Allen by nearly 12,000 votes with 99 percent of precincts reporting.
Allen assured supporters that "the counting will continue through the night."
In Montana, Republican Sen. Conrad Burns is trailing Democratic challenger state senator Jon Tester by about 3,600 votes -- or four percentage points -- with 82 percent of precincts reporting.

Burns has officially lost.
VA is the last one!
