"Three hun-dred six-ty five de-grees...burning down the House!!!"
Since there are 435 seats in the House, of which about 54 are legitimately competitive, I'm only going to list the seats I see flipping.
All in all, I don't see any Republican pick-ups in the House (or the Senate and Governorships, for that matter) this election cycle. The anti-GOP wave is just too damn big.
Here are the seats I expect to go from red to blue:
Arizona-01
Colorado-07
Florida-13 (Katherine Harris's old seat!)
Florida-16 (Mark Foley's old seat)
Indiana-02, 08, and 09
Iowa-01
New Mexico-01
New York-24, 26, 29 (Spitzer and Clinton's coattails come up BIG)
North Carolina-11 (Shuler will win, but sadly, Larry Kissell won't)
Ohio-2, 15, 18 (Nowhere is anti-GOP sentiment running higher than in Ohio)
Pennsylvania-06, 07, 10 (Coattails, baby!)
Texas-22 (Tom DeLay's seat!)
Washington-08
Wisconsin-08
A grand total of 22 seats picked up by Democrats in every region of the United States.
Suck it, Zell!
New Balance of Power:
224 Democrats
211 Republicans
