Wow, she's almost not guilty.

After a stunning GOP Senate win in Massachusetts and a slew of new polls showing many Democratic incumbents in trouble, it’s hard to argue with the obvious: the Republicans unquestionably have momentum as 2010 begins.
We are adding a dozen new seats to our list of districts “in play” – all of them currently held by Democrats. In addition, we have moved 16 districts within our list – two held by the GOP and the rest currently represented by a Democrat. All of the moves benefit the GOP, either because Republican districts now look safer or Democratic districts appear more vulnerable.
Given that we expect more Democratic retirements in the next few months and anticipate that more Democratic-held districts will increase in vulnerability between now and the fall, we are raising our target for GOP gains to 24 to 28 seats, with higher Republican gains possible. Of course, changes in the national mood between now and November could also benefit Democrats.
In addition, we can no longer dismiss the possibility of a Republican wave so large that Democrats could lose their House majority. We stress, however, that we currently expect Republicans to fall short of the 40 seats they would need. Scott Brown’s victory in Massachusetts doesn’t mean that every Republican candidate will win in November.

they don’t HAVE to be Republican....they can be Democrat or Independent....as long as they’re AMERICAN!!!
Wow, she's almost not guilty.
OH and VA come to mind...
In my single days, I’d have hit that...
I'd rather come just short of controlling both Houses. That way we can still gridlock Obama from 2010 to 2012, but not be blamed for his incompetence. That way when 2012 rolls around we take square aim at Obama and the Democrat-controlled Congress for their total failure.
Nikki must go, she is a clown in a pants suit. The problem is we need a strong candidate not Meas or the guy from Carlisle, I wish Jim Oginowski would try again. The North shore district in play, so is Mcgovern(metro west) and Delahunt(south shore).
Hell Barry Frank’s district might be in play look at the voting results front the senatorial election in his district.
40 seat gain will be childs play if Fauxbama, Pelosi, Reid (axis of evil) continue this damn the voter and the torpedos we are doing healthscare.
I don’t see Dems holding the house if they keep this up, but even if they hold the house, Pelosi will not be re-elected speaker.
No problem here, in my area of Texas it is easy to find Conservatives.
28? Nah, I leaning close to retaking the House. The only reason I won’t say they will is Republicans have a history of screwing a sure thing.
Or the new leader will be someone like Chuck who will be even more blatantly partisan but not be in a so called swing state as Reid comes from. Daschle came from a conservative state so once it was nationalized he was bound to lose.
Yer Lucky.
Yes, but we moved from Minnesota to have that happen. LOL, Sorry MN Freepers, but Liberal Lakes is not the place unless you like to argue constantly with the brainwashed. Down in Texas we still have the Nutjob Libs, but less, and more often they are in Central portions of the Cities, the rest of us are not. Texas is happy to have hard working conservatives move here, the Libs can all stay in Detroit, DC, and other garden spots of the Left.
