House Races
Democrats are currently down 228-204 in the House of Representatives. The House, which was initially designed to be the most responsive branch of government to changes in the nation's political tastes, is heavily gerrymandered, and so changes in the balance of power are hard to come by. Well it looks like tonight a Democrat in Kentucky has won a historically Republican district. It's huge news because it's seen as a bellwhether on Bush's political health. One down, many to go.
