The House races

Again from Hotline on Call comes a sense that more Republican House members are being defeated:

ON THE HOUSE: At 10:14 pm, FNC calls that Zack Space (D) has won in OH 18, the district formally occupied by ex-Rep. Bob Ney (R). At 10:15 pm, FNC called that Rep. Don Sherwood (R-PA 10) has lost re-election. U.S. News’ Barone: "Well, those are two of those scandal seats.” Barone, on Padgett: “She was not the ideal candidate” (FNC).

At 10:11 pm, FNC calls that Rep. Curt Weldon (R-PA 07) has lost re-election. U.S. News’ Barone: “Which district are we talking about?” (FNC).

CBS on House seats: GOPers 155; Dems 144; Dems have netted 9 House seats.
Was watching CNN go through some House races a bit ago on the "big board." What they kind of didn't mention were all the asterisks beside Republicans' names, denoting incumbents. Let's remember we don't have to get all the close races, and that the CNN anchors are pretty much just fluffing the GOP. We need 15, we have 9 already. More is great, of course.

My sense at this point is that we will get more. Twenty five? Thirty? Not sure, but the House is going to be ours.
