The house will be close enough that the Dems can regain control in '12

[book_worm]

MSNBC says 237-198 plus or minus 13--My guess is that Dems will end up with slightly more than 200. In 2012 we will have a stronger economy (I believe) and Obama at the top of the ticket. Some of these GOP victories will be razor close, too.

3. true, but the economy was in much better shape in the 90s than now.

I think a lot of voters are just unhappy with their lives right now and voting for whoever is willing to blame someone.

2. Yep.

4. And we'll have better turnout with Obama topping the ticket

5. doubt it

swings ~50 seats aren't that frequent. It'll take a couple of elections to grind back to a majority.

6. I agree...

but a 60+ swing makes me a little ill tonight.. could be the booze and the falafel, though.

7. We'll have to see what the final margin is.
