The old guard (Republican Revolution survivors) that lost last night:

Jim Oberstar (MN-08, elected 1974)
Gene Taylor (MS-04, elected 1989)
Ike Skelton (MO-04, elected 1976)
Earl Pomeroy (ND-AL, elected 1992)
Paul Kanjorski (PA-11, elected 1984)
John Spratt (SC-05, elected 1982)
Chet Edwards (TX-17, elected 1990)
Solomon Ortiz (TX-27, elected 1982)
Rick Boucher (VA-09, elected 1982)

Wally Herger, the Republican in CA-02, won with 57%. He got 58% in 2008. That can't be good news for him.

Who is the youngest person elected this year? Anyone born in 1980s?

Adam Kinzinger in IL-11 is 32. I think he's probably the youngest.

Yeah, Amash wins. More of the 30-something club:

Sean Duffy, Frank Guinta, Jeff Landry - 39
Kristi Noem, Tom Reed, Todd Young - 38
Stephen Fincher, Cedric Richmond - 37
Cory Gardner, Jon Runyan - 36
Kevin Yoder - 34

And here are the old-timers:

Quico Canseco, Daniel Webster - 61
Mike Kelly, Dennis Ross - 62
David McKiney - 63
Scott DesJarlais - 64
Frederica Wilson - 68 (!) - I think this may be a record for a freshman; I'm pretty sure Diane Watson, at 67, was previously the oldest newly-minted congressperson.

Frederica Wilson - 68 (!) - I think this may be a record for a freshman; I'm pretty sure Diane Watson, at 67, was previously the oldest newly-minted congressperson.

I believe that honour goes to George W. Crockett, Jr. who was 71 when first elected.

Ah, thanks. I've been wondering for a while now whether someone beat Watson.
