My projection on the House: 235 R, 200 D. (+10 D)

I just based it on who was leading in the vote count as of 11am today, using the NYTimes.com website. There are officially 12 races that haven't been decided - I gave 9 to the Dems, just 3 to the Repugs.

Yeah, MSNBC is predicting 237-198, but I like yours better (of course). We'll see. The House codjh9 Nov 2012 #1

It's the redistricting that limits movement. I'd like to see a national vote tally of house races... reformist2 Nov 2012 #3

That certainly wouldn't surprise me. codjh9 Nov 2012 #4

A slight chance it could be 202 D. Dawson Leery Nov 2012 #2

You could still be right. NYTimes has Dems at 195, with 7 races undecided. reformist2 Nov 2012 #6

It looks like we could hit the 200 mark after all! reformist2 Nov 2012 #5

is the ONLY area where I'm disappointed in this election, and even there, we got rid of some real scumbags, such as Joe Walsh, and ALMOST (dammit!) got rid of Bachmann.

I bet you Dem candidates actually got more votes nationwide than Repugs, which would be strong evidence that many districts have been gerrymandered in favor of Repugs.
