The latest from Charlie Cook:
House: GOP gains from 32-42 (39 is magic number for a bare majority).
Senate: 5 to 7 (8 is the current magic number, as they would need 51 seats to control the chamber, as 50 would give the tiebreaker to the Vice President).
As such, total control of the Congress by the Republicans is highly unlikely.

I remember Charlie Cook saying, months ago, that “the House is lost” for the Dems.
Now his range seems to indicate that its more likely the Dems will keep the House? I don’t subscribe, so I can’t read his complete rationale here. Does he see a shift toward the Dems, or does he just weasel out of his earlier predictions?
Personally, I am finding it hard to see the Senate losses being more than 2-3, without going way down the pessimism road.
