Looks like Al Franken (MN) and Mark Begich (AK) have some waiting to do, still! This race just never ends! Franken currently trails the incumbent Republican by a mere 206 votes, but Wednesday a recount of absentee ballots will proceed, potentially erasing that lead and giving Franken a victory. Nate Silver projected it was a possible win, depending on the circumstances.
In Alaska, Mark Begich (AK) has taken a narrow lead over convicted felon Ted Stevens (R-AK). About 24,000 votes have yet to be counted in that state, and it seems like most people are projecting that Begich is likely to hold onto his lead.
If we won both those seats, we'd be up to 59 Seats (including the 2 Indies who caucus with Dems), just one shy of that magical 60 fillibuster-breaking majority. But still possible, since Georgia's Senate seat will go for a runoff election between Saxby Chambliss and Jim Martin on December 2nd. That election is automatically triggered when no candidate receives a majority of the vote. The outcome of that election is just about impossible to predict from polls with any level of certainty, since turnout models for runoffs have wide margins of error. We'll just have to wait to see!
