Probably because there are more of them, and there are so many safe seats that you only need to call a few close ones in order to make a call on the House as a whole.
That being said, I've become pretty disgusted with the way the media calls elections. In this last election, they called AR Senate and KY Senate as soon as all the polls were closed, which I though was way too early (although the calls turned out to be right.) I also hate how they use exit polls to make calls, because exit polls mean nothing. If they were any good, then John Kerry would have won by a landslide in 2004. It was this reliance on exit polls that led to the early call of Florida in 2000, and we all know how that turned out.
