i'll start off with the icing for those withe a sweet tooth:
"at this moment, the Crystal Ball cannot identify a single election for Senate, House or Governor in which a Republican is likely to succeed a Democrat in office. Just imagine how devastating an absolute shutout would be in the eyes of history if this proves to be true!"
the prediction for the senate is 'THE SENATE: Democrats + 6 = 51D, 49R'
the house comes in at 'THE HOUSE: Democrats + 27 = 230D, 205R'
i look at polls daily and the center for politics seems like a pretty reliable outfit. i detect a hint of democratic bias, but their track record of predictions is in the very high 90's, so i take them seriously. your mileage may differ so check out the full info:
