Winning the House

WINNING THE HOUSE….Matthew Continetti sez:

Five months out, it is difficult to locate a single pundit who disagrees with the conventional wisdom that Republicans will lose control of their gerrymandered House, and possibly even the Senate, which they hold by a margin of 10 seats.

Where do people get this stuff? I’m hard pressed to think of even a single pundit who has confidently predicted that Democrats will win the House this November ? as opposed to merely warning that it might happen. Am I missing something?

UPDATE: Ezra Klein noticed the same thing. Basically, he thinks Continetti is just working the refs.
