It's looking like 50+ seats, and 7 senate seats, according to drudge. Still a long way to go till we know who's in, and who's out.

My favorite projecttion comes when polls close in California's national election, and with ZERO% reporting, the call the state for the democrat.
they are reporting that in VT right now....0% reporting, yet they are calling it for the democrat.
Exit polling. They use the districts that have been microcosms and typical in their election patterns in the past and see how those voters respond to the surveys. Is it perfect? No, ask President Kerry when they gave him the exit polling in 2004, only problem was that they surveyed early in the day when they got students and housewives who skewed Democratic and weren't typical of the electorate. they learned their lesson and have been closer since.

Bradley effect...
I think everyone would be shocked if the republicans didnt make HUGE strides in the house, took it over and at least closed the gap in the senate.
Thats what my libreal self is expecting.

It's typical for the out of power party to gain some seats in midterm elections.
Republicans have to gain at least 45 seats in the House and 6 in Senate to meet expectations. Any less and it's a moral victory for the Democrats, If the Republicans win BIG, say 65 House seats and 9 in the Senate ( keeping it 50-50 unless they can convince somebody to switch parties) it is a big loss for the Democrats.
JMHO

It's looking more and more like a 55ish, give or take gain in the house, and a 7ish gain in the senate. We won't really know which way the "ish" goes until some of the west coast results start to come in.
