House Speaker John Boehner had Capitol Hill in a tizzy Tuesday after telling Fox News that the GOP had a 30 percent chance of losing control to House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi and the Democrats in the fall election. “I would say that there is a two-in-three chance that we win control of the House again, but there’s a one-in-three chance that we could lose,” said Boehner.

Democrats jumped on the comments, with the the head of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, Rep. Steve Israel, claiming it was proof his team was succeeding and House Whip Rep. Steny Hoyer arguing that Democrats have a 50-50 chance to win back the House.
