The New York Times:
FiveThirtyEight's projection for the U.S. House shows little change from last week. Republicans are given a 73 percent chance of taking over the House, up incrementally from 72 percent last week. During an average simulation run, Republicans finished with 227 seats, up from 226 last week; this would suggest a net gain of 48 seats from the 179 they hold currently.

Lincoln Mitchell: The Republican Party After the Election
If candidates like O'Donnell are elected, they will likely continue to embarrass and begin to isolate the Republican Party through their extremist views and will also almost guarantee the failure of that party to accomplish anything.
Jacqueline Salit: An Independent View of the Midterm Elections
Right now, it's very hard for the American people to express themselves. The media has molded politics into a blood sport. Independents are trying to make a statement about all of that.
Alan Abramowitz: Gallup's Implausible Likely Voter Results
According to the Gallup Poll, a generic Republican candidate currently leads a generic Democratic candidate by 17 points among likely voters in a hypothetical House matchup. But how plausible are Gallup's results?
Earl Ofari Hutchinson: GOP House Takeover Spells Disaster for President Obama
A GOP-run House will stall, dodge, and stymie every spending bill that Obama proposes. The GOP then will turn around and paint the administration as hostile, confrontational, ineffectual, and a promoter of gridlock.
