New York 1 Still Undecided

So, finally, officially, we know that CA-11 stayed blue at the hands of Democrat Jerry McNerney, CA-20 went to Democrat Jim Costa, KY-6 stayed in the hands of Democrat Ben Chandler and VA-11 was won narrowly by Democrat Gerry Connolly. But, that ends the bad news as IL-8 was won by Republican Joe Walsh, NY-25 by Republican challenger Ann Marie Buerkle and TX-27 by Republican Blake Farenhold.

BUT, that still leaves pesky NY-1. Democrat Tim Bishop is now in the lead and his prospects look favorable, but this race has still not been called. Republican challenger Randy Altschuler hopes to lessen Bishop's several hundred vote lead, but the outlook is growing dismal. "It will be up to a judge to decide the fate of scores of challenged ballots, but the fact that Altschuler has challenged more ballots is not a good sign."

So, at worst, the Republicans gained 64 House seats and at best, 65. Not a bad days work.
