Word is tomorrow's kind of a big day. As such, I'll step up to the plate and make some predictions, though I should point out that my track record is quite poor. People who remember my first website attempt (RIP The Observer) will recall that on the eve of November 2nd, 2004, I was quite optimistic (President Kerry! Democratic Senate!) and ended up looking, shall we say, quite foolish.
This time I'm going to be a little more cautious. I'm going to go with a 25 seat pickup in the House, though I've seen respected pundits raising the possiblity of a wave that could go as high as 40 seats, which would be nice. For the Senate I'm cautious about getting my hopes up to high but Democrats win RI, PA and OH, obviously. I'm going to say Burns is out in MT and Webb eeks one out over Allen in VA (thank God). For MO it's a coin flip, one I don't really have the guts to call either way but fuck it, I say we win that one too. So thats 25 in the House and a full 6 in the Senate (though, to hedge my bets, 4 in the Senate wouldn't suprise me. Oh and if Rep. Cardin loses to Steele in my homestate of MD I don't know what I'll do. And yeah, Lieberman's going to beat Lamont, which sucks.
not bad on predictions this time. Although some of the outcomes are still up in the air.
