My gut is that we'll pick up about 25 to 30 House seats. What amazes me is WHERE some of these pick-ups may be: Nebraska, Idaho, Central Florida, etc. These are RED areas. I'm not as surprised by the gains we're looking at in places like New York, Pennsylvania, and Connecticut. This is our home turf and the Pukes have been holding those seat for too long.
I'm kinda cautious about the Senate. I think we will get to fifty seats with pick-ups in Rhode Island, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Montanta, and Virginia. I have some worry, though about Missouri and Tennessee.
In Missouri, its electronic voting. Every poll shows this race close. Once the Diebold thugs get to playing around, they could very easily steal this one. (Shifting two percent to assure a victory is a lot harder to prove than say a miraculous Ken Blackwell win would be.) If I lived in MO, I'd be doing a paper ballot.
In Tennessee, I worry about what Newsweek called "The Bradley Factor". Back in 1982, the polls showed LA Mayor Tom Bradley (who was black) in a dead-heat for governor. On election day, Bradley lost because a large number of white voters shifted to the white Republican. I don't want to sound like I'm calling TN voters racists, but does anyone else have this kind of worry?
