Does anyone have any idea on how many special House elections there are going to be in this Congress? If the Dems have 219 seats they could lose the gavel every time it comes up. That should be an ameliorating factor on the nutty Dems impulses, and, a lighthouse in the fog for our side.....

I've been wondering how the numbers would eventually sort out. If it's 219 D and 216 R then one special election could drop that to 218 D and 217 R. One more special election could change it to 217 D and 218 R, flipping the House back to Republicans. In any case, any special election now would attract unheard of amounts of money.

While I'm not optimistic about the Republicans reversing their fortunes before the next election, the numbers should give the Democrats some pause. Extremism could very quickly end their majority.
