Have a look at this. It shows they've managed to pick up just 5 seats with 233 races called at this point.

You do realize that most of those 233 seats were called fairly early when polling indicated the incumbent would not lose his seat. Hell, a race in Montana has been called and it just closed a half hour ago!

Winston your logic is flawed. The races called first are generaly the crushing Incumbant-vs-Nobody races. The closer ones will ofcorse be after the lopsided ones. Comparing raw desided seats vs Dem pickups is flawed.

You need to look at how many of the "potentialy flipable" seats have been desided vs how many still remain open.

Dems are now picking up 6 in the House with 188 undesided

That's why I called him an idiot.

[Winston]

Yes. I was simply referencing which races had been "called" by CNN and how the Democrats were doing at this juncture. And I still don't think they'll take the House, not necessarily based only on those numbers. I've said so all along, and I want to see it before I concede anything.

CNN.com: +6 for Dems in House (+7 if you count them picking up Sander's Indep seat, but Sanders voted with the Dems), 184 undecided

No, you lost your temper at seeing someone who doesn't conform to your shielded outlook on things. And now you're not man enough to apologise.

[Imran Siddiqui]

Now +7 for the Dems with 177 undecided at CNN.com (Indep was Dem voting)

[Winston]

Senate: Associated Press has called 47 seats for Republicans, 43 for Democrats, 2 for Independents.

[SlowwHand]

Yeah, what Winston said. Idiot? Not very nice. Not very nice at all. In fact, you should be ashamed.

[Imran Siddiqui]

+9 for Dems with 171 undecided (CNN.com, subtracting -1 Ind from the Dems column)!

Negron conceding in the Foley district right now.
