Dems win 15 in House
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/eln_house


This according to Yahoo. I have no idea if it's called or projected.

WASHINGTON - Democrats won 15 Republican-held districts Tuesday in nearly every region of the country, enough to wrest control of the House if all incumbents hold their seats.

As voters demonstrated their disenchantment with a war, a president and scandals on Capitol Hill, Rep. Nancy Pelosi (news, bio, voting record) predicted, "We are on the brink of a great Democratic victory." The California Democrat is in line to become the first female House speaker if her party gains 15 seats to win control of the House and end the GOP's 12-year reign.

In the conservative Ohio River Valley, Democrats ousted John Hostettler, Chris Chocola and Mike Sodrel in Indiana, and Anne Northup in Kentucky. In the Northeast, Nancy Johnson in Connecticut and Charles Bass in New Hampshire lost.

Let's hope so!!!
