Both Republicans and Democrats head into Election Day with a legitimate shot at picking up seats in the House, with the GOP virtually assured of keeping control of the lower chamber.
The electoral landscape has shifted significantly from just one month ago, when Democrats were hopeful that they could gain more than a dozen seats and possibly recapture the majority they lost in 2010. Democrats would need a net gain of 25 seats to win the House.

My prediction on these pages:
House +3
Senate 50/50
Romney 301 EVs
These days the “talking heads” must talk “close race” or “horse race” to help their bosses sell advertising to political campaigns. When big bucks are on the line liars are like ants at a picnic.
They apparently got to Charlie Cook this year. He is pushing the “horse race” kool-aid in public—he is a smart guy and must know it is complete garbage.
The NRSC is running an anti-Kaine ad in Virginia with that same message. First they say “Kaine expanded wasteful spending”, then Kaine supports a proposal to cut defense spending and supported a proposal to cut education spending while Gov of Virginia. By the end of the ad I can’t figure out if Kaine wants more or less spending. The NRSC should be spending money pumping their candidate (Allen) or discouraging Dem turnout (this ad does nothing for that).
That is why I say the polls have been bogus and the pollsters know it.
So much for the 08 Democrat turnout!
There’ll be MORE CONSERVATIVE House members is the important fact here.
About ten, and that will make a huge difference if RINOs win either the Senate or presidency.
And some difference even if they don’t.
"This time will be different. You've got me."
First House results will be after 6pm from IN and KY.
In2 and Ky6 are competitive.
