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.

Correction - Republicans retains a solid majority of seats in the House but will not gain seats when all votes are counted. The current count is 234 to 194, in favor of Republicans and the best the Democrats can do is 201 seats - if they win all of the remaining undecided seats.
