PREDICTIONS: If the Presidential election is the Super Bowl for nerds (and it is), then midterm Congressional elections are the World Series. I was in class for the last six hours, and I won't start watching CNN until I go and vote, so I haven't been swayed by any late-breaking info. My predictions:
California Gov: Gray Davis 1
Colorado Senate
Minnesota Senate: Walter Mondale 3
Iowa Senate: Tom Harkin 1
Lousiana Senate: Mary Landrieu 2
Arkansas Senate: Mark Pryor 2
Florida Governor: Jeb Bush 3
Georgia Senate: Max Cleland 2
South Carolina Senate: Lindsey Graham 1
North Carolina Senate:
New Jersey Senate: Lautenberg 1
New York Governor: George Pataki 1
Massachusetts Governor: Mitt Romney 2
Michigan Governor: Jennifer Granholm 1
MI Sec. of State: Land 2
MI Att. Gen.: Gary Peters 1
Missouri Senate: Jim Talent 3
South Dekota Senate:
Whatever happened to...?
Oregon Senate?
Montana Senate?
too close to call: Colorado Senate, N. Carolina Senate, S.D. Senate
dark horses: Tom Gosliano, NY Governor; Erskine Bowles, NC Senate
call: no more than 51 Senators from either party
What the numbers mean:
1- a lock. Bet the farm
2- not quite so certain. Bet the barn.
3- could go either way. Normally, I'd say bet the livestock, but you'd be better off taking those sheep and cattle and making a sacrifice to God on behalf of your candidate-- it's gonna be that close.
Tennessee Senate?
