>Those are vacant seats.....no incumbent to defend them. I have to believe the Dems might pick up more than 2 seats. Which 2 do you mean? We're just talking about representatives from Texas. In this case, the two we might beat are Michael McCaul and John Culberson. But there's at least a 50-50 shot we lose Nick Lampson (who took over DeLay's seat in 2006). I'll have my official guess on how many seats the Dems pick up overall a couple of days before the election, but for now I'm saying 40-45 (which is higher than any estimate I've seen). -Z
