Even given that tremendous edge, they lost a couple seats in the house.

On the plus side; it's obvious politicians are better at math than they let on. Those districts are some of the finest examples of applied fractal geometry you are ever going to see.

Why?

In 2008, McCain led from about 10 March to 1 May 2008. And the race was tied (literally 50% to 50%) from 10th to 20th September, 2008. From: this analysis but specifically, this graph.

There is a flip side, folks. Dems are not going to control the House of Representatives any time soon. Despite winning generic congressional races 51-49, the Dems lost the House by a healthy margin. Even if Republicans had spotted Dems 6 points (!) in every race, they still would have control over the House. Dems have been quietly and absolutely annihilated in the combination of redist(R)icting and the effectiveness of SuperPAC money in targeted House races.

Frighteningly, Republicans won the lion's share of their seats with safe, but not competitive margins of 10 to 30 points, while Dems won half their seats by 30 points or more; a horrifically inefficient use of votes. Dems only have a quarter of their districts in the 10-30 point range.

Have to congratulate Darryl, N, et al. for knowing better than the media and, apparently, the campaigns.
