IMHO, that's a ahem, conservative number.
"Many House GOP operatives are privately predicting that the party could easily lose up to 20 seats this fall," according to The Politico."Combined with the 30 seats that the GOP lost in 2006, that would leave the party facing a 70-vote deficit against Democrats in the House -- a state of powerlessness reminiscent of Republicans' long wilderness years in the 1960s and '70s."CQ Politics notes the Republican House leadership team "met in crisis mode" yesterday after losing a third special election this year.
