Basically, we have to keep about 13 races in the west, then also win about 6+ republican held seats.

Im sorry but its out of my capacity to explain typing with my thumbs . You might want to catch online to MSNBC and see if you can catch it. We have to hang onto every seat we have in California. Any then some.

33 are outstanding, and it takes 218 to control the House.

Just saw on cnn, which my brother still watches, so far dems have 189 with 4 pick ups, r have 208 with 16 pickups, four dem seats lost in my state, NY, alone. Dems must win 22 competitive seats, and r must win 7.
This is going to be bad. Ugh.
