Dec 2011

1. President Obama will be reelected president against Mitt Romney.
Reelected, yes, against Romney, not sure yet.
2. As for the Electoral College, he will lose Indiana and North Carolina, but will pick up Arizona.
As someone who grew up in AZ and went to ASU, never, and I repeat NEVER, expect AZ to do the right thing. I would put the others in front of AZ
3. Georgia and Texas will be surprisingly close.
Agreed
4. Republicans will narrowly capture the Senate, but Elizabeth Warren will beat Scott Brown.
Don't think so, it will be a loss of 2 seats.
5. Democrats will make moderate gains in the House and Boehner will be out as Speaker.
Agreed
6. WI Governor Scott Walker and Oakland Mayor Jean Quan will be recalled.
Walker yes, Quan Maybe
7. Dianne Feinstein will have a closer than usual reelection in California.
Define close, less than 5 No.
8. Republicans will take the Governorship of Washington State.
No Knowledge
9. Michigan will repudiate governor Rick Snyder and Democrats will make significant gains in the State House.
Hope so
10. Wayne County, MI Executive Robert Ficano will resign.
