Put your expert hat on. Do you agree or disagree? And why?

The final Sabato tally - sounds pretty good, but others are projecting even bigger gains. Cook is up to 60 now.

Larry Sabato is hedging his bets as usual. No one knows what’s going to happen on Tuesday.

It looks reasonable, but let us wait and see.

I'm still hoping and praying for a miracle in Delaware.

It is a shame that conservatives did not find decent candidates in NY, IL, DE and AK. I’m sure there were good conservative candidates.

Gains for the GOP/Tea Party team can be much larger if everyone on “our team” gets out, goes to the voting booth and votes to destroy and defeat all Democrats. There are no good, decent Democrats, period. They all are working to destroy America, hand in hand with America hater, POTUS Barack Hussein Obama!!! IMHO, I really believe that Obama is not all there upstairs. His weird behavior and comments suggest he is becoming totally unglued from reality. Whether that is true or not, he and his Democrat Party must be taken down by, we, the people, on Election Day, November 2, 2010. Remember November!!!! Destroy the entire Democrat Party at the the voting booth!!!

“Joe Miller’s constant gaffes and controversies”

Hype or truth? I haven’t heard of any. Am I just uninformed?

72 House, 11 Senate, 12 Gov.

If we get over 65 in the House, the Senate will follow. Just has to.

Rush yesterday predicted a pickup of 69 “because I like that number”. 60 House seats and 9 Senate seats. However, I don’t believe he was being serious.

Sabato left one state off his list - that makes it 15+ Governorships.

No one in MA likes Deval Patrick. They can’t simply stand him.

The Crystal Ball has also projected that Republicans will gain 500+ new state legislative berths, and will probably capture at least a dozen additional state legislative chambers.


It’s a start.

GA 5th Congressional race is under the radar.. Career politicial icon John Lewis is actually campaigning against his republican challenger...Fenn Little. Atlanta Georgia has never before seen Lewis bother signs, street picketing. Until now, Fenn Little is a white (color-blind civil rights attorney. An intelligent veteran Alliance Defense Fund lawyer. He remains below the national radar like a jack in-the box.

A couple of comments:

Nancy Pelosi will not only lose the Speaker of the House chair, but she might seriously consider not running again for Congress--the 112th Congress will be her last term.

Harry Reid could lose the this election. Even if he survives (barely!), there will be a movement to replace him in whatever role he could get (whether Senate Minority or Majority Leader). Don't be surprised that Charles Schumer--despite his liberal politics and his penchant for getting on camera a tad too much!--gets the Senate Minority or Majority Leader role.

Nancy Pelosi is done.

Chuck Schumer will become the next Democratic Senate leader. Harry Reid is gone.

What has been the accuracy of this fine group over the last four election cycles?

If they are above 95%, then this has relevance. If below 95%, then this is no better than mine...and mine are pure guesswork.

the new gallup poll, which is closing in on reality, is showing much, much more GOP strength going in than in ‘94, so the sky is the limit!
