Actually, Iron Deadbeat Jailbird losing by "only" 5 wouldn't really surprise me in a Democratic tsunami scenario. Just because I think it's safe R doesn't mean I think he's guaranteed to lose by 20+ points, it just means I don't see any semi-realistic path to victory for him. And if I'm supposedly the only one who would be surprised, why is it in the "bold predictions" thread?
Anyway, are we talking bold by Atlas standards, or bold by "conventional wisdom" standards? Because these two are
very different things. For example, if it was the former, I'd say "Republicans will easily win the Oklahoma gubernatorial race and Democrats will easily win the Nevada Senate race." If it was the latter, I'd say "Democrats will easily win the Nevada Senate race."
