The Green Pages:
See a great resource on the web for details on elections, office holders etc.
I have used this resource for years.
HOUSE Right now, it says Republicans have 235 in the House with 7 vacancies and the Democrats hold 193. Of course, all 7 vacant seats will be filled by this election.
SENATE Right now, it says Republicans hold 51, Democrats hold 47 but also have in their caucus 2 Independents.
Let's decide what are predictions are for Wednesday of next week and thereafter.
57 Senate Republicans
235 House Republicans
A prediction is beyond my capacity
That so? How about giving me a wild ass guess?
-—How about giving me a wild ass guess?——
WAG
House: Democrats + 10
Senate: Republicans + 5
Check the latest Rasmussen Generic Congressional Ballot poll and you’ll ditch the “barely” part.
In 2008, way off - he was predicting McCain will win OH and PA. He had the numbers to back up his predictions, based on early trends etc.
Thanks.
I will survive whatever the election holds but the thing that would make me sick to my stomach is Nancy Polluted with the Gavel.
That is interesting. A 10% movement of the Senate and a 0% movement in the House.
Larry (LS): R’s hold house, with net gain of 10 for D; R net gain in Senate will be 6.

Works for me...
There are 7 current vacancies, 5 of which were Republicans
Yes I was aware of that — so in your remaining at 235 we have to actually loose seven to stay even. There are many ways to phrase it but that is the best for me.
I have had years I was not surprise — Trump was (as I mentioned earlier) within one electoral vote of what I predicted. However, the second Obama election did surprise me. I thought he would do worse than he did and could possibly loose. Boy was I wrong.
I fear the flurry of retirements and departures by Republicans this midterm was either fear of the hush file being made public or a desire to hurt Trump or both. It’s really u usual for a majority party to put itself so deeply in the hole with scheduled vacancies. I don’t ever recall such a thing before.
u usual = unusual
The positions have become such mechanical clamoring for cash. The Trump shift was too much for some that had been hanging on the same teats for so long, IMHO. They wanted to have the ability to stay without rocking the boat or taking guff and that was not going to be possible.
My Prediction:
Senate: Republicans 56 Democrats 44
House: Republicans 226 Democrats 209
As anybody who knows me can attest, my predictions are universally accurate and well tested. You can take them to the bank*

Well, if you are wrong, you are at least in good company.
House 224-211 R
Senate 58-42 Pickups of MT, IN, MO, FL, WV, ND, OH and lose NV, hold AZ and TX
Forgot pickup in NJ (yeah wishful thinking maybe)
To All
My predictions:
1. House - basically a wash very little change up or down 1 or 2.
2. Senate - up 6 too 7 seats
Its really hard for me to see what issues Rat congressional & senate candidates run on. “Trump is a poopyhead!” to me just doesn’t cut it! Sorry for being a bit silly & scatological but ‘where do they have an issue to exploit?’.
We pick-up seats in the Senate and the House is a toss-up which the dems gain seats but whomever has the majority has thin margins.
