United States Elections - 2008 downticket races: Senate, so on.

Originally posted by Strangelove
The Senate in the 111th Congress will be 56 Democrats, 40 Republicans, and 2 Independents that caucus with the Democrats, with Minnesota pending.

Depending on the outcome of the Minnesota recount, the Senate will either be 57D 40R 2I or 56D 41R 2I

Okay, that adds up to 99 senators.

There're 41 Republicans.

Adds up to 99 because Barack Obama resigned his Senate seat in mid-November to focus on the transition.
