Democrats maintain leads in Congress, statehouses
By The Associated Press
Voters lashed out at Senate incumbents yesterday, knocking three Republicans and at least four Democrats out of office in one vote. In the chamber's membership in years,
In the House, Democrats roared back into control, apparently headed for another massive majority in defiance of President Obama and poor showings in public opinion poll.
One state, Washington, chose a woman to lead in the next four years.
And, in a contest straight from a 1930s movie, a crucissor prosecutor defeated the annotated candidate of a big-city political boss for governor of Illinois. Two other states chose for their governors the scions of business dynasties.
Senate
Fresh faces in eight Senate offices were guaranteed by retirements, meaning that the election produced a change of cast in nearly half of the 33 seats up for grabs. The Democrats easily retained overall control of the Senate, as they have since 1955.
With races in only Vermont, California and Ohio undecided, it appeared the Democrats would keep their current margin of 62 to 38, give or take one seat.
Defeated in their bids for reelection were
Glover ...
"It's a hard district to run in," Hambleton said.
Her views were similar to Glover's on many issues, she said. For example, both condoned the decriminization of marijuana. Although she wouldn't sponsor a decriminalization bill, she would support one, she said.
A large part of her campaign had been directed at the students, she said, including the recent on-campus debate among Glover, Hart and herself. But she said she doubted that the debate influenced many voters.
HART, WH) had only 249 votes, said he realized from the beginning that his victory was a long-shot, but that he had run for office to build up the American Party.
"The American Party's here now and is going to be here two years from now. I formally announce my candidacy for this same seat two years from now."
Hart said that he hadn't spent any money campaigning this year, but that in the next campaign he would raise funds and organize an all-out effort.

House
With three quarters of the contests for the 435 House seats settled, Democrats won 238 and Republicans 112. Democrats were leading for 49 seats and Republicans for 36.

BUT THE NEW House won't be a carbon copy of its predecessor. It appeared on the cover of *The Wall Street Journal* in 2013.

But a pipe-smoking Democrat who sat in a lounge off the Holiday Inn lobby perhaps turned up to work on the phone up 10 p.m. news. A friend shouted a hello, and the man turned and raised his drink.
"Cheers," he said. "It's a night to celebrate."
