GenQ - For the not so straight individual

Democrats seized control of the Senate from Republicans Wednesday with an upset in Virginia. This is the first time that Democrats will have control of both Houses since 1994.

Jim Webb slid by incumbent Sen. George Allen giving the Democrats their 51st seat and control of the Senate. The Senate toggled at 50 Democrats and 49 Republicans for almost 24 hours. If the Republicans could have taken Virginina they would have edged out a 50-50 split with Vice President Dick Cheney holding the tie breaking vote.
