While its a little early to give firm estimates on the change in the composition of the House of Representatives as a result of the 2010 election, it would be interesting to see if members of this forum are in any way realistic.

So go ahead and vote and discuss.

I've been running a series of numbers recently, and the most likely scenario at this time is for a net loss (relative to the results of the 2008 elections) of 24 seats.

A lot can change between now and November, 2010 but it is likely that the Democrats will sustain a net loss of at least 17 seats but probably not more than 44.

I think you are probably correct.

Also, its the ideal number for Republicans.

They won't be a majority, so they won't be saddled with responsibility.

Also, they can hope to keep Nancy 'the nutcase' Pelosi up front and center.

I predict the dems will have a 6 seat majority in the House come Jan 2011.

Sounds good.
