In California, it appears that Republican Andy Vidak may be a pickup for the GOP. He is leading 51.5% Vs. Jim Costa’s (D-Rep) 48.5%. Here is the results page from the California Secretary of State.
It is closer in the CA-11 CD: Democrat Rep. Jerry McNerney leads Republican David Harmer by ONLY 134 votes. Stay tuned for a probable recount on this race.
So, the GOP has captured 60 House seats from the Democrats in election 2010 with a possibility of a few more.

Here’s one more that will probably go for the Dems. This one is part of the Keith Oberdork scandle.
Incumbent Democratic Congressman Raul Grijalva has likely cemented a victory in AZ CD7 over Republican challenger Ruth McClung. Grijalva extended his lead to 5,982 votes over McClung.
