Gerrymandering reduces the effectiveness of this. There are simply going to be far more wasted Democratic votes than Republican votes. When the Republicans did their mid-decade gerrymander in Texas, they promised that the House would stay Republican "no matter what the national mood".

Besides the Republican spin hasn't started in full force yet. With the help of the so called media. they'll move these numbers.

Because of the gerrymandering, if the Democrats gained 25 seats, that'd be equivalent to 1994.
