I expected losses in Ohio to form the core of the Democratic takeover tonight– I predicted they’d lose 3 out of 4 contested seats. Instead, they only lost one, the district vacated by Abramoff-scandal-disgraced Bob Ney. Sure, the Dems made up the ground elsewhere, but it’s still worth noting that in bad circumstances Ohio Republicans did pretty well. (Yes, I’ve updated the House scorecard.)
