Congressional Quarterly tracking polls show Republicans holding both the House and Senate

Good news for America. It looks that the united State House of Representatives will not Nancy Pelosi pounding the gavel. Congressional Quarterly, a nationally renown source on all things national shows that both the US House and Senate will stay under the watchful protection of the friendly Republicans. With 12 districts still too close to call, CQ is projecting a 220 to 203 Republican lead in the House, and a 51 to 44 lead in the Senate with 5 states too close to call.

One seat that is in the too close to call column is IL-6. This is the neighboring district being vacated by retiring Congressman Henry Hyde. With Denny Hastert picked to easily defeat Democrat John Laesch, residents of the 14th might want to lend Republican Peter Roskam a hand in insuring that the 6th stays Republican.
