United States House of Representatives elections, 2008 (Differently Proper)

The United States House of Representatives elections, 2008 were a series of elections to determine all 435 members of the House of Representatives. Many pundits predicted power to fall to the Republicans, because of the bipartisan anger with House Democrats trying to block President John McCain's every move. In total, they gained 40 seats, and swept the Democrats from power. Don Young, the Republican leader, was sworn in as Speaker of the House.
