My official prediction is 248 Rs in the House (net pickup of 7, assuming that vacant seats belong to the prior incumbent)and 53 Rs in the Senate (net pickup of 6). In the Senate, I have Fischer, Berg, Rehberg, Thompson, Allen, Mandel, Mack, Smith, Flake, Heller and Mourdock winning, but Summers, Scott Brown, McMahon, Akin, Lingle, Hoekstra Wilson and Raese losing.
By mentioning Raese do you think that race will be fairly close? I wrote him off a long time ago.
Boy, do I hope I’m wrong, but I don’t think Mack will make it, big win for Romney or not.
On the other hand, I think McMahon has a decent shot, as does Brown of holding on. I wouldn’t be completely shocked if Akin somehow pulled it out, assuming the GOP is winning as many races as you think. He isn’t doing much worse than Mack in the polls, and unlike Nelson in FL, McCaskill seems to still be hated in MO.
