The 2010 midterms are almost, almost over. With five House races and one Senate race yet to be decided this morning, two concessions and an executive decision by the Associated Press have narrowed things down. Democratic Rep. Jim Costa has held onto his seat in Fresno, California, the Associated Press declared Tuesday evening, fending off a challenge from Republican Andy Vidak. Costa led by over 3,000 votes after Election Day. That leaves Republicans' total 2010 House gains at 63, with only two House races still undecided. Democrats are poised to hold onto their seats in those races. After trailing by 383 votes, Democratic Rep. Tim Bishop now leads Republican Randy Altschuler by 255 as election officials in New York's 1st District (covering the Eastern half of Long Island) have finished counting absentee ballots. Democratic Rep. Jerry McNerney, meanwhile, has widened his lead over Republican David Harmer in California's 11th District between Sacramento and Modesto. McNerney now leads by 2,475. The only Senate race yet to be decided is Alaska's, where Sen. Lisa Murkowski leads Joe Miller by over 10,000 votes. Miller is seeking to invalidate over 8,000 ballots through a court case, and he plans to ask for a recount trailing by over 2,000. He is not expected to win. Earlier today, to Democratic incumbents conceded, handing the GOP two more House takeovers in 2010. Rep. Solomon Ortiz conceded in Corpus Christi, Texas, as did Rep. Dan Maffei in the upstate New York 25th District, which covers Syracuse. When it's all over, Republicans will almost certainly have picked up 63 House seats and six Senate seats in total.

63 pickups in the House and didn't win the Senate. A far cry from the predictions we heard from Morris, Badeye, etc.
A thorough ass-kicking and humiliating defeat for the leftist demonrats and their socialist agenda.
Did BE admit being wrong? That would be a first.
Have you admitted you are a big pussy?
Is he asking for a pony, too?
A far cry from your dumbass prediction Pelosi would you remain the speaker.
My prediction was as follows: You may lie, but the database doesn't.
he still thinks he was right with this: Why are there so many pussy posters, like go and skidmark, on this forum?
So Go65...care to predict for us what is in store for November? Give us some numbers, you know seats gained by the Dems. Your prediction OK, I'll put a stake in the ground: House: 220 Democrats, 215 Republicans
Did BE admit being wrong? That would be a first. he still thinks he was right with this: I'm clearly on record as predicting 70 plus seats gained by the Republican Party in the House, and with it a clear majority there. I'm clearly on record as saying they will pick up the 10 seats required to attain a nominal majority in the Senate. Not really much to do in the lame duck session, huh, soon to be former Congressman Grayson? Sheesh, GO...quit emaking shit up.
Obama's first all-by-his-lonesome budget, btw, calls for a $1.17 trillion deficit.

On January 3, 2011 the GOP assumes responsibility for deficit spending.
