Do we have a number on how many house seats we picked up last night? The press never did tell us in 1994. I'm not holding my breath this time either.

[Lazlo in PA]

Put pointer over district to see % and votes in. About 3 still out.

I don't know I am still apologetic over CA stupidity, and I can’t even smoke pot to get through it.

[Principled]

This am at 7am est we had 60 iirc.

still a couple to decide on tho

fwiw i just subtracted - nobody said the #....

[oblomov]

Fortunately we don’t have “the” media any longer.

Looks like +61, but that could change...

[napscoordinator]

The only thing that anyone is saying at this point is 60ish....so I don’t believe they have an actual number yet as there are still seat out there that have not been called yet.

[KarlInOhio]

Mark Levin's site lists it at a net +58 in the House, with 11 elections not decided. At least one of the undecided, MN-8, looks like it went from Democrat to Republican. He also says +6 in the Senate with three undecided, 2 of which could be Republican pick-ups and Alaska will either be a hold if Miller wins or strange if Murkowski wins.

[Doctor 2Brains]

What about Alaska? Almost 90,000 write-ins? Any analysis of how they will probably break. Hard to believe that Mur. is going to get most of them.

We got bumped up to the luxury suite on the Titanic. Enjoy the view, the drinks are free.

What’s the latest in Colorado, anyone?

Just for reference, here are some numbers from 1994—if anyone has the matching numbers from last night, I’d appreciate posting them, so we have a handy comparison.

Also—anyone have similar numbers for state legislature before/after 1994 and last night? Thanks.

1994: House—54-seat swing in membership from Democrats to Republicans

1994:Republicans captured eight Senate seats from the Democrats

pre-election 1994:Governors—11 seats held by Democrats, 14 held by Republicans, and one by an independent.

post-election 1994:Governors—11 seats held by Democrats, 24 by Republicans, and one by an independent

[MissesBush]

The Wall Street Journal says 66 House seats to the GOP.

[andy58-in-nh]

+61 in House with 12 seats remaining to be decided. Net will likely be about 64-65. Senate is currently +6 and will be +7 if we can squeeze out Washington state (which is currently almost a dead heat).

[Vendome]

Not enough...

[wardaddy]

not sure yet

but one thing is clear:

Our women are much much prettier than their's...and that matters to me. It's inspiring. It's a telling comparison.

[Non-Sequitur]

Last I heard it was 62 House and 6 Senate, with a couple of House seats and two Senate seats to go.

[fruser1]

I’m actually more interested in the percentage of wins.

The house had all seats running, but not all states had senate and gubernatorial races.

So even though on a strict seat count, the house sounds like the big win by picking up 60 seats, repubs did worse w/the house on a percentage basis. Below are my tallies of the percent of races won by repubs:

House - 53%
Senate - 65%
Gov - 66%

House doesn’t look as good now does it?
