With the Pa., Ohio, Rhode Island and Missouri Senate seats now in Democratic hands, Democratic organic farmer Jon Tester leadingdeclared the winner in Montana and Jim Webb leading at this hour in Virginia, let the dialogue begin.

WaPo, earlier: (Webb, Allen Race Too Close to Call):

Webb addressed his supporters gathered in a Tysons Corner Hotel at about 11:10 p.m. and predicted that he would be declared the winner when all the votes are counted.

"We've been following this in great detail," Webb said, "It looks very, very good for our side." He said he expected to pick up votes in the 11th Congressional District in Northern Virginia and that his campaign was confident that he'd do very well when the absentee ballots were counted.

"It's going to take a while, but at some point soon I think we are going to be on top," Webb said.
