GOP Wins Local Congressional Races but Loses Majority in U.S. House

Republican losses here in Indiana and many other states have given Democrats control of the U-S House of Representatives. And there’s a chance they’ll take the Senate, too depending upon the outcome of races in Montana and Virginia that are too close to call. Here in Indiana, Republican incumbent Richard Lugar easily won reelection to his Senate seat. And Republican incumbents in the Q101 area held on to their U-S House seats, including third district Congressman Mark Souder and fifth distrcit Republican incumbent Dan Burton.
