Been watching the CNN coverage who have called that Republicans will retake the majority in the House of Representatives (the lower house). They are estimating them taking 50 or more seats (only needed 39) so will be quite a big swing there. But, usually in midterm elections and in times where it seems the minority party is going to be able to take the majority party, the House is where you get the biggest swings. It does seem that the majority will stay with the Democrats in the Senate, although not entirely out of the question. But as Kaz says, the difference will be minuscule comparatively if it is the 51-49 or 52-48 split.
Really based on things leading up to this, the change in power in the House doesn't come as too much of a surprise too me. However, I am a little surprised that the Senate held as strong as it did for the Democrats. I thought the Republicans would be able to take that small majority, although still have a chance.
Very interesting election night gentlemen.
