FOX News on TV is having a good laugh about this “breaking news” from Reuters.
48 hours we will know for sure... Errr, ummmm....48 hours plus 2 months of Lawyers, judges and acorn, then we’ll have our outcome.
It's going to be something like GOP 250 or more.
Keep in mind 53 seats would be a 106 votes swing in the new Congress.

When Republicans won in 94 there were a lot of conservative Democrats who switched parties. I don’t know if there is still such a thing as conservative Democrats, but maybe there will be a few of them switch parties. ...No RINOs wanted.
Reuters could be close to correct in their prediction. Nate Silver is predicting 232 and he was very accurate with the last election:

He used to write for the New Republic, and so you can guess which direction he leans.
Bull crap. I want more than 231. Much more. I want 305 or 306. Minimum.
Be careful......this story could be out so that on the day after (like a hangover) they can report that the Republicans did not do as good as expected!
Palin is correct when she said “Corrupt Bastards”
If he is re-elected, my guess is that Gene Taylor from Mississippi will switch.
231 seats?
That must be from all 57 states...
Too low.
DING DING DING.....we have a winner!
You’re are absolutely correct. I think they are seeting the scene so that when the number is less than they are predicting, they can call it a GOP “failure”. Everyone is so sure the Repubs are gonna carry all these seats. Let’s not forget that the labor unions & ACORN (or whatever name they go by these days) will be out in full force. There are already tons of allegations of voter fraud.

What happened in the last, or in any other recent election is probably a poor predictor of the magnitude of what is about to happen in this one. I have been saying for a long time that the conventional wisdom when it comes to polling is inadequate to predict the likely tsunami that is coming tomorrow. I firmly believe that we (the good guys) are going to do even better than expected because of the enthusiasm gap and the corresponding difference in turnout.
Here in Colorado, Republicans are leading Democrats in early voting/absentee turnout by around 90,000 - 100,000 so far. That doesn't even take into consideration independents, who we know are going to also vote more Republican than Democrat. I think tomorrow night is going to be a very good night.
