In the House, the projection is for the GOP to gain 70 seats: The GOP will win 76 House districts currently held by Democrats, and the Democrats will win 6 House seats currently held by Republicans, including a few surprises. Republican takeovers are in red; Democratic takeovers are in dark blue.

I can hear it now: “Jim’s been gargling with Maker’s Mark again.” But I actually played it fairly safe on this list. I predicted no GOP takeovers in states where the early voting looks pretty “meh,” such as West Virginia or Iowa.

And where are these coming from? I've seen some of the projections that say the GOP will pickup 70+, and in all of them, I see some districts where there is no way the Democrat is losing. Remember this article stating a 76-seat gain and bump it up on Wednesday so we can ignore them in the future. If I'm wrong and there really is a 76-seat gain, fine, but anything above 65 is highly unlikely.
