PREDICTIONS THREAD (SENATE/HOUSE RACES)

[Oakvale]

As you can see, I'm going out on a limb on a couple of states - Nevada, Colorado and Illinois, especially.

As for the House, I honestly have no idea. I'll go with the boring, consensus option of around 50 seats gain for the GOP.

Here are my prediction for the most contentious senate races


Alaska:  Miller (R) 33, McAdams (D) 30, Murkowski (I) 34
California:  Boxer (D) 52, Fiorina (R) 45
Colorado*:  Buck (R) 50, Bennet (D) 48
Connecticut*:  Blumenthal (D) 55, McMahon (R) 44
Delaware* (Kaufman): Coons (D) 57, O’Donnell (R) 42
Florida*:  Rubio (R) 47, Crist (I) 30, Meek (D) 20
Illinois*:  Kirk (R) 49, Giannoulias (D) 46
Kentucky*:  Paul (R) 54, Conway (D) 45
Nevada:  Angle (R) 48.6, Reid (D) 48.8
Pennsylvania:  Toomey (R) 52, Sestak (D) 47
Washington: Rossi (R) 50, Murray (D) 49
West Virginia*: Manchin 53, Raese 46
Wisconsin:  Johnson (R) 54, Feingold (D) 45

There's really no way you can call Delaware a toss-up.

Hmm, I'm fairly pleased with this. Obviously, I got Illinois wrong, but it was close enough that I'm not embarassed. I also feel kind of smug about Nevada.

This is all assuming that Murkowski wins in Alaska, which seems to be likely.

Meh, lowballed it a little but not too bad.
