NEW YORK (CNN) - Despite the prospect of heavy losses in the House, Minority Leader John Boehner is expected to run for his post again. That's according to several Republican congressional sources. Boehner is the top Republican leader in the House. Meanwhile, as election returns come in, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said she feels "excellent," adding that House Democrats will "increase our numbers." Pelosi said Democrats will break the historical pattern of a party losing seats after winning a wave election. The last time a majority party won seats after a wave election was in 1932.
