This is a good list to keep handy.
The pundits all laughed when Boehner said Republicans would take 100 seats.
Their laughter has turned to tears.

I'm just hoping that Mike Pence will be Speaker of the House.

I don't think we will get 100. However, with 103 in play the Democrats can't concentrate their money in a hand full of vulnerable races. They will be forced to fight all over the country. The more races in play the better our chances to take a significant portion of them.

We have to be careful about the expectations game that the Democrats are playing. If victory is defined as a 100 seat turn around the Dems will drop 99 seats and claim they still have a mandate for Obama to rule through executive order. Winning the war in a day is always nice, but we must concentrate on winning the battle of 2010. We need 41 to take back the house. We can lose over 60 of the above races and still take the gavel away from Pelosi. That must be the goal that matters most at the moment. Sure an electoral Tsunami would be great. But all we actually need is to flush that San Francisco turd.
