LATEST COUNT – AT 9:49 A.M. ET:  I suspect most Americans don't realize that the 2010 elections are not really over.  Several House races have yet to be decided in recounts and challenges.  But the Republican gain continues to grow as decisions are made.  From The Hill:

Rep. Dan Maffei (D-N.Y.) conceded to his GOP challenger Tuesday afternoon, giving Republicans their 63rd pickup in the House...

...That leaves three House races uncalled: Reps. Tim Bishop (D-N.Y.), Jerry McNerney (D-Calif.) and Jim Costa (D-Calif.). The Democrats have leads in all three.

COMMENT:  Even if the Dems win all three remaining contests, the Republican gain of 63 seats in the House is staggering.  Think of it this way:   Sixty three seats is almost two thirds the size of the entire U.S. Senate. 

And yet, we see no sign that the administration is changing any policies as a result of this firm rejection.  From a raw political viewpoint, that may be good news for our side, for it will probably mean that Obama will, in 2012, run on his leftist record, not the centrist charade he manufactured in 2008.
