Feingold loses, Reid winning

Veteran Democratic U.S. Sen. Russ Feingold of Wisconsin lost his bid for a fourth term to a Republican challenger, bringing the Democrats’ total loss of Senate seats to four. But they are still hanging on to their majority. In Nevada, at least so far, Harry Reid, the Democrats’ Senate leader, is hanging on to his own Senate seat against a challenge from Republican Sharron Angle. With about half the votes counted in Nevada, Reid had an 8point lead.
