Nate Silver revises the forecast
We're still waiting for a bit more data before we release our live forecast updates, but so far, our model has revised its projection to a G.O.P. gain of 55-56 seats rather than 54-55. Not a huge deal, obviously, but it likes what it's seeing from Republicans so far in Indiana, even as most of the other House races so far are playing about to expectations.

2. The results pretty much agree with his model
I think Indiana 2 is beating the expectations.

8. I am actually comparing the returns to the scorecard Nate has up on his site
The races in Virginia do not look good.

9. And he'll "revise" his "forecast" tomorrow again.
He makes Dick Morris look good.
