Biden predicts U.S. Democrats will keep Senate:

http://news.yahoo.com/biden-predicts-u-democrats-keep-senate-cnn-143137238.html

"In an interview with CNN, Biden said he did not agree with forecasters who say Republicans are poised to capture the six seats they need to take over the Senate. They are also expected to expand their majority in the U.S. House of Representatives.

"I don't agree with the odds-makers," Biden said in the interview broadcast on Monday. "I predict we're going to keep the Senate."


On a side note of my own..... I like Joe Biden...He is always seeing the possibilities and working towards making this a better country for everyone.. I hope he runs in 2016

I like him too, and hope he runs.
I wasn't so happy with him during the Anita Hill hearings, but I think he's matured since then.

Biden has access to the best analysts/prognosticators on the planet. For him to state it as he has, he's pretty comfortable in his information.

. . . things that seem complex in a rather simple way to those who don't have a clue.

There's nothing wrong with being optimistic, and Joe is right on the money to make a prediction like this the day before these elections are held.
He's right on time because it will be in some of the headlines, contradicting what the unelected douchebag pollsters are saying about these elections.

...here's one of the reasons why.

While all the other Democrats are running away from his boss, while they are cowardly eschewing their own achievements, here we have a real leader in the Democratic Party.

Go Joe! Love this man.
