How many seats were up for grabs? Obama isn't up for re-election, they are. They better not play hardball, America is watching. The poor might not create jobs, but a lot of the middle do.

Every seat in the House was up for grabs and Republicans gained seats. Every seat will be up for grabs in 2014 again because House members serve two year terms. Republicans will most likely pick up more seats then because the party that controls the White House almost always loses seats in mid-term elections.
