I hate to say I told you so but I wrote this one week ago:

Remember the combined Democratic v Republican primary totals? Democrats had a YUUGEE lead. Maybe this poll isn't far off, I think Northam will win by a minimum of 10 points.

How many HoD pickups? I think 10 is now solidly in the picture.

The House majority is in play

Didn't the prognosticators say that a Dem pickup below 5 would be a disappointment, 5-10 a strong possibility of a house pickup in 2018 and 10+ a gigantic 2010 like landslide (which I personally predict)

Ed Gillespie worked hard but did not embrace me or what I stand for. Don’t forget, Republicans won 4 out of 4 House seats, and with the economy doing record numbers, we will continue to win, even bigger than before!

LOL!!!

Aren't all these house of delegate seats up for re-election in 2019?  Wouldn't the GOP be able to take back control then if they lose now?

I thought it was a different set of HoD seats.

No, all 100 seats are up every two (odd) years.

Why aren't the State Senate and HOD seats held at the same time? Was it some bizarre scheme by the state Dixiecrats back in the day to help shield the state Democrats from Republican federal landslides?
