Pelosi aiming to net 35 seats

Article here.

I think its a bit of stretch. I think 20-23 seats would be the upper-end, imo.

Assuming Obama get reelected I think we'll shrink the Republican margin significantly, enough that Democrats can work with moderate Republicans to accomplish more we've done in the past year.

Would be interesting if we won the house by a hair and lost the senate by a hair.

The only one left is Walter Jones.

And too few states where Democrats could do whatever they wanted (like Illinois and Maryland). 15 is more realistic))))

But they did get favorable maps from nonpartisan commissions in CA and AZ.

Gerrymandering cost us the House, IMO.

Not net change with the submitted maps. It's easy to cry wolf when the Republicans did control most of the decision process, but we got lucky with those nonpartisan commissions. We got generous maps in California and Arizona. Will probably pick up the new seat in Nevada as well.

He has NC as D minus 3.5 seats.

'pisses me off every time I see that.
