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?

No, what it’s all about is control of the house. As the majority they control the committee chairs and the agenda.

My comment on this would be “who controls the house now, repubs or dems?”

Since it is now in Repub hands I would have to disagree with your statement. It looks damn good.
