Well, we have come to the point where the rubber meets the road. We all have our opinions or gut feelings about what is going to happen in this election. Here is your chance to carve your opinions into stone, or at least, into FR's data base. Tomorrow, or whenever we find out the results, wouldn't it be nice to have the whole world know that you nailed it on the head?

I've picked ten races, just to make the post election math easier. Wanna play?

Hutchinson (R) - Pryor (D) Senate in Arkansas
Chambliss (R) - Cleland (D) Senate in Georgia
Coleman (R) - Mondale (D) Senate in Minnesota
Talent (R) - Carnahan (D) Senate in Missouri
Sununu (R) - Shaheen (D) Senate in New Hampshire
Dole (R) - Bowles(D) Senate in North Carolina
Thune (R) - Johnson (D) Senate in South Dakota
Simon (R) - Davis (D) Governor of California
Bush (R) - McBride (D) Governor of Florida
Ehrlich (R - Townsend (D) Governor of Maryland

OK..Ten races...how many will you get right?

No prizes in this FR contest except the bragging rights and a time/date stamp on your post url, to prove your prognostication prowess!

[wewillnotfail]

Ping 'em if ya got 'em!

[el_texicano]

I go for a clean sweep. All ten go Republican. How's that for optimism?? :-)

[wewillnotfail]

Wanna play?

[Luke21]

Okay, here goes.

1. Pryor (D)
2. Chambliss (R)
3. Coleman (R)
4. Talent (R)
5. Shaheen (D)
6. Liddy (R)
7. Thune (R)
8. Davis (D)
9. Jeb (R)
10. KKT (D)

Hope I'm wrong on those Rat wins.

Let's face it, we are going to lose big in the Senate and have salt poured on our fields by the media.

Even though we will gain house seats and GWB will buck history, the media will focus on the fact that we did not re-take the Senate. Of course, there will be three-seven days of election lawyers first.

[AFPhys]

I predict I will vote in an hour, and that Republicans will win in spite of all the Demodogs worst efforts.

Coleman (R) - Mondale (D) Senate in Minnesota
Talent (R) - Carnahan (D) Senate in Missouri

OK..Ten races...how many will you get right?

Personally, I hope I'm 8 for ten picks and it's a Republican sweep.

Get out and Vote. And then try to take five more people to their polling place.

[wewillnotfail]

Nothing wrong with optimism!

Hutchinson (R) - Pryor (D) Senate in Arkansas

I dare say Pryor. Hutchinson shot himself among family values voters.

Chambliss (R) - Cleland (D) Senate in Georgia

Chambliss. Cleland seems too liberal for Georgia.

Coleman (R) - Mondale (D) Senate in Minnesota

Coleman in a squeaker. Mondale will contest in the courts.

Talent (R) - Carnahan (D) Senate in Missouri

Talent, easily.

Sununu (R) - Shaheen (D) Senate in New Hampshire

Sununu in a squeaker. The Economist ran an article about Shaheen saying she was running as "Miss Goody Two Shoes". Yuk.

Dole (R) - Bowles(D) Senate in North Carolina

Dole with extreme ease.

Thune (R) - Johnson (D) Senate in South Dakota

Thune in a squeaker.

Simon (R) - Davis (D) Governor of California

Dependent on voter fraud. If Davis can get away with a lot, he'll win.

Bush (R) - McBride (D) Governor of Florida

Bush in a punishing majority.

Ehrlich (R - Townsend (D) Governor of Maryland

Ehrlich. KKT looks like bloody Bucky the Beaver.

Regards, Ivan

>Bush (R) - McBride (D) Governor of Florida
Ehrlich (R - >Townsend (D) Governor of Maryland

And the only reason I picked Townsend is that the thrill of voting for a Kennedy will bring out a lot of Dems and some RINOs.

[wewillnotfail]

I disagree! I say..

1. Pryor (D)
2. Chambliss (R)
3. Mondale (D)
4. Talent (R)
5. Sununu (R)
6. Dole (R)
7. Thune (R)
8. Davis (D)
9. Bush (R)
10. Ehrlich (R)

Boy I hope I'm wrong about MN!

[dawn53]

I predict I will wait till the crowd thins out and vote this afternoon.

I predict Jeb Bush will win Florida.

I predict the pundits will spin this election however they want even if the Republicans win big they will use some excuse like the $$$ spent by the NRC.

I predict I probably won't bother watching election results on TV, but will just get my info from FR.

I predict that we won't know who holds the Senate tonight because the Dems will be calling for recounts if the races are close.

I predict that even if we don't take back the Senate, GW will continue to be our President and lead the country in an outstanding way. And for that I am grateful!!!

While this prediction shows no guts:-), I like it!

[SkyPilot]

1,300,000 dogs nation-wide will vote for Democrats--and if anyone complains they will be accused of trying to "disenfranchise" Muffin.

[Caipirabob]

I predict we won't know the results until tons of lawsuits are filed and dismissed and the Senate may still be in question by the time the next session starts.

If we let the rats have their way.

[Cyclops08]

I predict the repiblicans retake the senate, and the dems whine for about a month! I predict great entertainment reading DU, as despair hits home.

I also predict Barbra Striesand thinks about leaving the US, and that no tries to discourage her....

[ABG(anybody but Gore)]

Shades of 1994 as the returns come in tonight, with only one sour note, thanks to Mr. Family Values dumping his wife for a staffer.
