Think Progress has CNN's Senate exit polls -- see here.

CNN has projected wins for Menendez in New Jersey and, just now, Brown in Ohio. The New Jersey race was close, but Menendez widened the gap in recent polls. And Brown's victory comes as no surprise.

What we need to look for now is the blue-ing of Ohio. Strickland will win the governorship, but will the state also go heavily Democratic in the House?
