Has anyone noticed....

[Bleeding heart conservative, HTMLdon]

that GA 8 and 12 are still really close...   I can't see Burns pulling an upset, but Mac Collins is almost there!  I'd like at least ONE Republican pickup this evening

[poughies]

been keeping an eye on it.....

[poughies]

both dems are ahead Barrow more than Marshall, but Marshall is leading by more than the CNN number indicates....GA-08 - 97% reporting
Mac Collins* (R)   77,995   49.4%
Jim Marshall* (D)   80,043   50.6%

If these two hold on this will be the first election ever where one party faield to defeat a single incumbent from the other party.

that didn't happen in 1994?

Patrick Kennedy (D) defeated incumbent Kevin Vigilante (R) in Rhode Island.

No, it did not. The Democrats knocked off 4 incumbent Republicans in '94.

I think there were other seats too, but that one is easier to spot, because it gave the state's delegation a pro-Democratic swing. Yes, Ted Kennedy's son made Rhode Island's Congressional delegation go all Democratic in 1994.

[Nym90]

Not a single Republican incumbent lost in 1994, but the Democrats did pick up 4 Republican held open seats.

If the Republicans have indeed failed to pick up a single Democratic seat, it would be the first time since at least 1948 and maybe further back that one party would be completely shutout of any pickups in the House.

[Verily]

Even in 1894 the Democrats gained a lonely seat in South Carolina while losing 126 seats across the country. No major party has ever been shut out of gaining a seat in the House before, I think, at least as long as we've had Democrats and Republicans (presumably the Whigs lost everything one election, and the Federalists).
