Barone Calls It Even

Yesterday, Michael Barone evaluated the fifty most competitive House races and predicted a winner (sure or likely) in each. The result: a dead heat, which raises some interesting questions:

My predictions would produce an almost evenly divided House: 219 Democrats, a net gain of 16, and 216 Republicans. Such a result would raise the question of whether Mississippi Democrat Gene Taylor, who declined to vote for Nancy Pelosi for speaker in this Congress, would do so again, and whether another Democrat might do so
