As House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi confidently predicts victory in next week's midterms, at least one major political oddsmaker is giving her a boost: Cook Political Report is now saying Democrats could win as many as 40 seats in the House.

Dave Wasserman, House editor of the nonpartisan Cook Political Report, tweeted late Wednesday that the unit is revising its outlook to reflect a Democratic gain of 30-40 seats, up from 25-35. He warned that the outlook could change again before Tuesday.

Even some in Pelosi's party are cautious about the pitfalls of overconfidence, amid recent reports of veteran operatives warning that the curtain-measuring echoes Democrats' confidence in the lead-up to the 2016 election, which now-President Trump won.

Talk show host Stephen Colbert said as much when Pelosi predicted on his show earlier this week, "We will win." She is expected to seek the speakership again if she's right.

“Do you want to say that on Hillary’s fireworks barge that she canceled?” Colbert shot back, referring to Hillary Clinton’s planned fireworks for the night of her expected 2016 presidential victory. “Please don’t say that.”

Fox News’ Power Rankings reflect a strong Democratic advantage in the race for the House, but not a lock. The ratings show 207 seats tilting toward the Democrats and 199 tilting toward Republicans, and the rest up in the air. It takes 218 seats to claim a majority. The Real Clear Politics map shows 204 House seats tilting Democratic, and 199 tilting Republican, with 32 in the “toss-up” column.

Fox News’ media analyst Howard Kurtz cautioned Wednesday about getting carried away by “blue wave” predictions.

PUNDITS ASSUME DEMOCRATS WILL WIN THE HOUSE. SOUND FAMILIAR?

“While the odds are against the Republicans, they probably have a better shot at holding the House than Trump appeared to have two years ago in the Electoral College,” he wrote. “And if the Democrats do gain control, will it be by winning barely more than the 23 seats they need, or by the 30 or 40 seats that would constitute a blue wave?”

    Dems are not taking the house or Senate. They'll pick up seats in the House, but not enough.

    What's your point again?

    If anyone is paying attention to early voting numbers, the blue wave is off.

    House: 218-218 R

    Senate: 54-46 R

    Either way it will be interesting.

    Also, I don’t vote.

    I think the GOP picks up a seat in the Senate, and the Dems narrowly take the house, which sets up lots of comedy with Nancy Dumbass Pelosi as Trump's chief punching bag for the next two years, plus plenty of investigations by various House Committees to keep Hondo happy and frothing at the mouth. Should be fun. Or not.

    I just can't wait for Hillary to go to jail as I've been hearing for years now.

    I'd rather her just go away. Anywhere.
    Does she bother you? Sounds like a personal problem. I feel like she has no power and you have to go out of your way to see anything she does.

    She was all over the news just last week for inferring she *might* run in 2020, or would at least still *like* to be President. She is on a huge speaking tour that is getting all kinds of press. But yes, you have to look high and low to find the Clintons. Might as well call her Waldo.
    Yes she's all over Fox news because they are obsessed with her still and so is Trump. She isn't making news on my news sources.

    Maybe you need a different news source.

    Bullshit.

    I don't watch or read Fox and I heard plenty about it.

    Honk em Hondo.

    Wednesday marks the unofficial kickoff of the 2020 presidential contest. Some among the hordes of Democratic aspirants have already started. Sen. Cory Booker of New Jersey and Sen. Kamala Harris of California have been stumping in Iowa.

    Last month, Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont made a nine-state circuit of mid-term campaigning, from Arizona to Florida.

    But if Clinton gets in, it could all be for naught.

    Rumors of a return engagement have been rumbling for weeks, with Clinton’s supporters and former aides stirring the pot.
