Here's the click link for that article which will be published on the Net in about four weeks.
Bottom line: There are not enough "contested races," meaning contests likely to be decided by less than 5%, for the Democrats to take the House. There are only 20 such races. The Dems would have to win 70% of those to take the House. They cannot accomplish that.
For the resaons stated in that article, I stand by my prediction made a year before this general election that the Republicans will gain 5-7 seats in the House.
In the Senate, the Dems look to lose SD (Johnson), Minn. (Wellstone), and possibly Mo. (Carnahan). As much as I dispise Bob ("the Un-Bribed") Torricelli in New Jersey, as a prediction I think that slimeball will grease his way to reelection. So I also stand by my prediction last November that the Repubs will gain 1-3 seats in the Senate.
