Election Predictions (Not So Bold Edition)
Now that I've gotten my endorsement out of the way, it's time for some rather, er, conventional predictions. Check back this time tomorrow to see how accurate they are.
1. Obama will win all of the Kerry states plus Iowa, New Mexico, Colorado, Florida, Ohio, and in a surprise, North Carolina (by a whisker)
2. McCain will eek out victories in Missouri and Indiana
3. Democrats will not lose any incumbent Senate seats, and will gain in Colorado, Virginia, New Mexico, North Carolina, Alaska, and New Hampshire. Norm Coleman will be re-elected in Minnesota, due to the presence of third-party candidate Dean Barkley. Republicans will keep Mississippi, Georgia, and Kentucky rather handily
4. Democrats will gain 25 seats in the house and have an 89 seat majority.
5. Joseph Lieberman will be stripped of his leadership position in the Senate and caucus with the Republicans, thus giving Democrats an effective 56-44 majority.
Final score- Obama 353- McCain 185

I love it! I hope your right–you usually are.
We’re all on pins and needles here.

Even if they do give Lieberman the boot and Franken loses, there will still be 57 if I am correct. Saunders from VT will still caucus with the Democrats.
