U.S. Election Predictions/Results

[Andrew1999]

Arkansas Predictions:
Senate: Pryor defeats Hutchinson by a small margin
Governor: Jimmie Lou Fisher (D) does better than expected but still loses to Mike Huckabee (R)
Congress: Democrats retain the two seats that are contested for a total of 1 Republican and 3 Democrats

National:
House: +1 Republican
Senate: +1 Democrat (new totals 50-1-49)
Governors: +3 Democrats

[Shi Huangdi]

Prediction:

GOP holds House, Democrats Hold Senate. For Maryland, KKT wins the governorship and Connie Morella loses as well.

MS: Carnahan (D) loses, seat goes back to the GOP

1) Carnahan isn't running here.
2) Our seat is firmly in control of the GOP.
3) The only way Thad Cochran would be endanger of loosing his seat would be for him to be charged with murder.

I will only predict the safe ones

Pataki for NY gov
Pryor for ark. Senate
Lautenberg of NJ senate

I think (not predictions!) that Shaheen might beat Sununu, I agree with Carnahan losing, I am totally unsure of Minnesota, and I hope we gat 50% or more in Lousiana.

In NY, I think grucci might loose his house seat in Long Island (+1 dems), I think Hevesi beats Faso, for all the money Faso spent tp beocme Comptroler.

Can it be that Ryan (not that ryan.. i know so many people in Illinois who got Jim and George mixed up) will beat Blagoievich? (The dem with the bald head and glasses would have been better candidate: i foregot his name, somehting greek i think)

In NJ, Frank McNamara is just wrong for bergen county (why the hell do I get to see ads against McNamara in NYC: i don't give a damn about bergen county, and I don't even know his opponents name!)

Early returns from Drudge...

GOP has GA, MN, Missouri

Dems have NC, Arkansas, CO

Big upset with NC, if it holds. This would seem to put the kaibash on the GOP gaining the Senate.

Since no polls have even closed, where does Drudge (the Sludge) go calling races?

The key question of today though is whether or not Che lives up to the quote in David Floyd's profile:

"I need a political party with some integrity. Think I'll vote Libertarian in Novermber. - chegitz guevara"

There was only one Libertarian running in my district, and yes, I voted for him. It was that or a Republican.

That's what everyone did in 2000.

[DanS]

GePap: Well, it's exit polls giving a good indication. Hardly definitive.

[chequita guevara]

I hope Ryan loses in Illinois. That man is totally without any integrity. He's a murderer mascarding as an AG.

And see how far that gets us. we have to wait until the system invalidates its required number of votes. i mean, just cause you went to the polls does not mean your vote will actually count.

How so?

GePap: Lighten up, dude. It's hardly one of the major networks.

Even when there is overwhelming evidence of police torture and brutality in confessions which led to death penalty convictions, Jim Ryan has fought tooth and nail to uphold those convictions. Ryan is bloodthirsty, and I strongly suspect he would end George Ryan's moratorium on the DP in Illinois. This in a state where more people have been released from Death Row than have been executed (one man who was executed confessed after being taken to a field and having a gun pointed in his face by the cops--he was illiterate and yet signed a confession).

We can't just go by exit polls. We have to wait until Bush's cousin, John Ellis, calls the race on FAUX.
