Okay, time for me to put on my prognosticator cap and attempt to predict the Senate races one final time. I have the Dems picking up one seat overall (counting Angus King as a Dem pickup), the best I've had them do this cycle. Thank you Richard Mourdock.
A couple of minor housekeeping points. Repubs will keep the house, probably by a pretty good margin at this point. Regarding governors, Republicans will pick up North Carolina, and everything else will be a wash. Inslee will win Washington, Pence will win Indiana. You get the drift.
Now, on to the show.
Arizona Carmona ran a great campaign for the most part (a couple of gaffes aside), but I think he barely misses. Lean Republican
California - Safe Democrat. Difi cruises
Connecticut Murphy wins. Closer than I thought it would be though. Likely Dem
Delaware Safe Dem
Florida - Mack strikes out Likely Dem
Hawaii - Lingle loss likely - LOL Likely Dem
Indiana - So wow. Just wow. I know Mourdock was a weak candidate. I just had no idea how weak. Congrats Senator Donnelly Lean Dem.
Maine - Angus King reigns Likely Independent.
Maryland -Who is running here again? Just kidding, Senator Cardin Safe Dem
Massachusetts -Brown black and blue by the end. Elizabeth Warren will make a hell of a Senator Lean Dem
Michigan - Stabenow wins big. Safe Dem
Minnesota - Safe Dem
Misssissippi - Safe Republican
Missouri - Anybody realize that in addition to being an idiot, Todd Akin is a real asshat? Goodbye and good riddance Likely Dem
Montana - Toughest call. Tester is leading in the polls, but I think the Republican lean carries Rehberg in the end. Lean Republican
Nebraska - Contrary to some polls, I don't think Kerrey even comes close. Safe Republican
Nevada - Another tough call, but Dem registration advantage and the Reid machine makes me think Berkleley pulls it out Lean Democrat
New Jersey - Hey, but there's this story going around about Dominican hookers....Safe Dem,
New Mexico - Heather Wilson's campaign died a quick and relatively early death Safe Dem
New York - Safe Dem
North Dakota - Sadly, I think this race has turned against Heidi Heitkamp in recent weeks. It doesn't help that Rick Berg, while reprehensible, is no Todd Akin or Richard Mourdock Lean Republican
Ohio - Hey Repubs - thanks for flushing all that money down the toilet. Likely Dem
Pennsylvania -Casey, what the hell? Luckily you were running against such a weak candidate. Your unispired campaign could have lost this one. Likely Dem
Rhode Island - Safe Dem
Tennessee Dem is worst candidate in the country, bar none -Safe Republican
Texas - Maybe in 2024 Safe Republican
Utah - Safe Republican
Vermont - Safe Independent
Virginia - Tim Kaine crunches his way to a win. Lean Dem
Washington - Safe Dem
West Virginia - Safe Dem
Wisconsin - I think Thompson might have some late momentum here, but I don't think it will be enough. Lean Dem
Wyoming - Safe Republican
