This website seems optimistic about Congressional races.
For IL, winning the Governorship will be easier than winning the Senate.
Carnahan could actually swim against the GOP tide and win against Blunt. Yet DC GOP insiders claimed Sarah Steeleman was unelectable.
Defending Judd Gregg’s seat will be tough, but doable.
I think we take Senate seats in CT, NV, and DE. FL & KY are likely GOP holds. Portman and Toomey (if faced against Specter) are lean GOP holds. NH, MO and PA (if Stesak wins the primary) are tossups.
{Sarah Palin endorses an anti-establishment candidate in hopes of using her power to sway an election. This will be a test of her influence. Marco Rubio will also gain her endorsement in the spring of 2010. Don’t rule out an endorsement of Peter Schiff in Connecticut, either.}
I predict Palin will come out for Rand Paul, thus helping him win the KY primary.
San Jose Sharks defeat NJ Devils 4 games to 3 in the 2010 Stanley Cup finals.
Fiorina unseats Boxer in CA, but ACORN “finds” thousands of ballots signed by Disney characters, and after seven months of lawsuits, Boxer regains her seat.
Meg Whitman is elected Governor, then puts the entire State up for auction on e-Bay. The Sultan of Abu Dhabi places the winning bid and immediately bans pork, beer, and Jews from California.
The Tea Party and the New Socialist ProgreSSives get enough electoral votes to throw the election into the House of Reps.
The House selects Sarah Palin as the 45th POTUS, and the Senate chooses John Thune as VP.
Heck, why not. I have no particular qualifications to predict this, but....
A red wave will roll over the US and the becoming “new” GOP (with a concentration of Tea Party conservatives) will gain the house by a small majority. The votes in each of the respective races will mostly be overwhelming getting past ACORN/SEIU/DEM fraud and vote box stuffing. There will be controversy about the NY-23 style machines (from the company Chavez is a stakeholder in)
The Senate will be 51 Dem, 2 Independent and 47 GOP.
Obamacare will pass - then be rescinded in 2011 with the new house.
The DOW will test 6,500 again.
Mortgage rates will rise by 2% by year end.
Unemployment (official figures) will be around 10.5%
Most people are predicting that the Dems will retain control of the House and the Senate, and that looks most likely if the poll numbers in November remain where they are today.
As much as I admire Romney, he is a Pisces. Who ever heard of a Pisces president (other than George Washington)?
As much as the media and Democratic Party has worked to destroy Sarah Palin, she is an Aquarius like Abraham Lincoln, Franklin Roosevelt, Ronald Reagan. She is destined to influence American politics, possibly in the direction of honesty, wouldn’t you say?
