Right now, though, the talk is that the GOP will not be able to take what they "should". I read something today where Arizona is blowing back in their faces of the GOP with the Hispanic vote in a big, and probably permanent, way - the GOP congressional candidates have suddenly lost ground (tons of percentage points) in the past month (Colorado, Arizona, Nevada) But there's lots of time to go yet.
Rand Paul wants to build an underground electric fence to protect Arizona. Angle is batshiat crazy - they are literally hiding her from the press exposure, fearful of what she'll say. Palin's Legal Defense Fund was just found illegal today, she has to give back the money to donors. The GOP just filibustered unemployment extensions and the Doc fix for medicare harming thousands of Americans. GOP Congressmen and letting British Petroleum hold campaign fundraisers for them.
We'll see ! A whole lot going on ...
The GOP should get Congress, not the Senate. We'll see.

You're talking about a total of 24 seats in the House and Senate, and the Democrats control 9 House seats with 2 Senate seats. Thats miniscule.
Another miniscule point I'll add though. The Republicans will definitely gain a seat in both the House and Senate from Indiana with Brad Ellsworth making a dumb move to challenge Dan Coates for Senate Evan Bayh's Senate seat. Ellsworth would just be fine if he stayed in the House.
