Final midterm election predictions 2010 (please make an actual prediction if you post)

No, if he dos, he runs the risk of a left wing challenger in 2 years.

Obama's only hope is to govern from the center. Honestly I think Obama will do better after Nov. 2nd.

Sorry shf, I'm thinking 54 in the house. Maybe 6 in the senate for the GOP.

[Wrong Direction]

Well, the GOP, if it gains power - can't continue to be the the Party of No.

That's a given.

Bills are generated by the House. They almost had to be the party of no while Pelosi was in charge. That's what opposition parties do. There will be a totally new dynamic when R's are crafting the legislation in the House and Dems are likely putting words to it in the Senate.

Sorry shf, I'm thinking 54 in the house. Maybe 6 in the senate for the GOP.

That means D's win all but one of Illinois, Colorado, Washington, California, WV, Delaware, Nevada and PA. Not out of the realm of possibility, but I'm not betting that way.

[Burgold]

I guess the big question is going to be Republican anger versus Republican overconfidence. All the momentum seems angled that way. Does it result in tens and hundreds of thousands staying home because it's in the bag or one gi-normous voting-block party?

[TMK9973]

going with 52 dems in the senate - 48 repubs.

GOP takes the house with more more then a 15 seat cushion

[Larry]

The Republicans will make gains.

The Republicans will call these gains a sweeping mandate.

The economy will get better. (More accurately, "will continue to".)

The Republicans will loudly, repeatedly, claim credit for this.

Once a month, some Democrat will timidly point out that the economy's been getting better for a year, already. He will be stomped on.

I predict dropping to my knees and screaming like the Skins just won the Super Bowl when it is confirmed that the man-handed witch will officially be handing over the gavel.

House: R +45 to get to 223

Senate: R +7 to get to 48

Gov: R +6 to get to 30

[Duckus]

I would think more people would make a fun prediction with so many people who like politics on this board.

So far we have:

SHF:
House: GOP + 56
Senate: GOP +9 (O'Donell pulls out the win in shocker)
Governorships: GOP +6

Greenspandan
House: GOP +53
Senate: GOP +7

DJTJ
House: GOP +58
Senate: GOP +8

Killmer
House: GOP +44
Senate: GOP +7

Duckus
House: GOP +62
Senate: GOP +8
Governorships: GOP +7

aRedskin
House: GOP +60
Senate: GOP +8

Wrong Direction
House: GOP +69
Senate: GOP +8

GhostofSparta
House: GOP +45
Senate: GOP +7
Gov: GOP +6

Am I missing anyone?

When did Coulter become a judge or Speaker?

[Bostic Hog]

As a PA resident, I'll make these "local" predictions before I head to the poll first thing tomorrow:

In DE, the tea-party witch lady will get POUNCED by Coons. Unfortunate, but true.
In PA, Pat Toomey (R) will defeat, in a VERY close race, Joe Sestak.
In PA, Tom Corbett (R) will defeat Dan Onorato for PA Governor.

That is all.

Oh yeah, I predict that the Skins beat the Eagles with Rex Grossman saving the day (alright, probably not Grossman, but the Skins win next Monday night).

I dislike predictions ,but
House GOP+58
Senate GOP +9

and I feel that is being conservative.
I'm much more concerned about what they will do and what is coming.....it's gonna get bumpy,buckle up.

[twa]

dbl post...

[Prosperity]

+50 house for GOP
+7 senate

no justification, but I think people have a tendency to exaggerate
