Democrats are not going to lose TX-23, NY-01, CO-03, CA-11, AZ-01, or AZ-08.

Or VA-11.

The last time either Party held 278 seats was when the Democrats had 292 during the 95th Congress, from 1977-1979; they held 277 during the 9th Congress, as well.  The GOP gained 130 seats in 1894, and lost 101 in the 1932 Election.  The Democrats lost 125 in 1894.

     Is that a typo? I would be surprised if there were even that many seats in the House of Representatives that early on.

It is, I meant the 96th Congress; there were only 142 members during the 9th Congress.

So, if the GOP wins every CD that is held by a Democrat and has a CPVI of >R +1, they would gain 69 seats.  The GOP will now win another 31 even more Democratic seats, according to Dick Morris.
