Surprise of the Night?

We win, yet we don’t need to back it up with the Second Amendment.

No matter what, the media will declare it is all good for Obama......I pray it is a total wipeout of Democrats and the press......Whatever, I hope we Stop Pelosi and Stop Reid.....all else will be icing on the cake.......and sorry, but I am afraid even if the Repubs do win it all they will revert to form and start getting Washingtonitis again as they did before.....I remember what a great night 2002 was ala Carville with trash can......but Repubs squandered it all by placating dems.......I hope I am wrong

3. California goes to Boxer (barely)
4. We win back to House and win five seats in the Senate.

It is going to be a long, crazy night.

Further predictions:

Boozeman by over 30.
Mikulski by over 10, but less than 15.
Illinois runs out of pitchforks, tar, and feathers, as the state GOP starts looking for plane tickets (this may be a wishcast).
The announcement that we have taken the house comes before 10 o’clock.
Rubio breaks 50.
Murkowski discovers that no-one really likes her, and the few who do can’t spell her name correctly.
West wins.

Interesting predictions.

I kind of have a nagging feeling that both Boxer and Reid eke out wins (even though the numbers really don’t show that). I hope you are wrong on those two, but you could be right.

At least one MA House seat flips to the GOP.

“At least one MA House seat flips to the GOP.”

Is it the 4th district, by any chance?

I was thinking 10...but I’d love to see Bawney Fwank lose.

After reading through about 1/2 the replies (including the mean one about "why should we predict 6 weeks out"...sheesh!) I'm very encouraged.

I was feeling like Reid, Boxer, and Brown were going to pull it out. I'm almost afraid to hope otherwise!

Can’t make a prediction on your list, but would only like to say that the people who are selling O’Donnell short are in for a surprise. If you only glance at her you can flip her off and dismiss her; but if you WATCH her interacting with the good folks of Delaware, and sincerely allow yourself to SEE her personal charm as she moves among the common unwashed, you may begin to conceive how she kicked her opponen’s butt in the primary, against all odds, and will do the same to Coons in November. IMHO.

+1001

And, with over 2 million to spend in a small state, voters are going to be very exposed to that charm. Only thing I would add is that while Coons is a good speaker, and clearly a quick thinker, he has the charisma of a particularly morose slug.

Oddly enough, I am more worried about California and Nevada than I am Delaware, even though all of the self-proclaimed really smart people on the tv tell me that I am wrong.

Hope I'm wrong but...

Predict the dems will retain both houses despite losses, and the MSM will gloat...while saying the tea party movement cost the GOP...and was basically just a "fringe right wing minority made up of old white people", one that peaked too soon and faded in the end...mostly due to lack of support by "moderate" independents(actually due to cowards hooked on freebies and those that just wish this country ill will).

I have a few friends and family members that rarely, if ever, vote...but piss and moan all the time about spending and big government. I am pestering the hell out of them by saying "stop your b*tching if you don't want to be part of the process....in other words...come November...put up or STFU!"

Two more years of these cretins in complete control and, well, it may require other Constitutional measures to stop the madness.

I worry that Paladino will say something really ... unfortunate ... between now and November.

Between now and tomorrow lunchtime, you meant to say.
