I’ll Play This: Right on the Right’s Election Results Prediction Game

His post is here.

Current Congress:

  • US Senate — 55-R, 44-D, 1-I
  • US House — 231-R, 201-D, 1-I, 2 vacant

My predictions:

  • US Senate — 57-R, 42-D, 1-I
  • US House — 235-R, 200-D

Senate Highlights:

  • DeWine holds off Brown in OH.
  • Two of these three Dem incumbents lose — Stabenow (MI), Cantwell (WA), Byrd (WV).
  • Two of these three GOP incumbents lose — Burns (MT), Chafee/Laffey (RI), Santorum (PA).
  • Change of parties from Dem to GOP in two of these three open seats — MD, MN, and NJ.
  • Net Senate impact — GOP +2.

House Highlights:

  • GOP pickups of note in immediate area — Irey beats John Murtha (PA), Mollohan loses (WV), Blasdel beats Green Card Wilson for Ted Strickland’s old seat (OH).
  • The rest of country will see little net change. I predict a GOP net gain of 1 everywhere else.

I’ll be around to claim my prize on November 8. :–>

  1. I couldn’t even hazard a guess! I am hoping the GOP retains control because we all know the first thing the Dems would stir up the impeachment garbage!

  2. #1 Anna, play anyway. Your guess is as good as anyone else’s!
