Poll question: How many Senate seats will we gain? |
|
Edited on Mon Nov-06-06 08:48 PM by spooky3
Taking into account everything (including GOTV efforts, attempts to suppress voting by Rethugs, etc.), how many more seats will we have in the Senate after the election? Please give me your best estimate of what you believe WILL happen, rather than what you would LIKE to see happen.
Also, I am talking about the net gain (total number of Dem Senate wins tomorrow - number of seats that Dems already held that are being contested this cycle).
Thanks for your votes! A robot will not call you.

Whitehouse v Chafee Chafee Wins
McCaskill V Talent - McCaskill Wins
Webb V Allen - Webb Wins
Ford V Corker - Corker Wins
Cardin v Steele - Cardin Wins
Lamont V Lieberman - Lieberman Wins
Menendez v Kean - Menendez wins
Tester v Burns -Tester Wins
Overall I Predict it will be 51 - 49 if Lieberman does not turncoat. So that would be 6 pickups. Unfortunatly, this is going to give Lieberman a lot of power.

13. Lieberman does the Turncoat bit, |
|
he'll find himself without Seniority, stuck way in the back, no Committee Appointments (making it harder for Hadassah to make any Lobbyist Money) and, worse, the whole State of CT angry as hell that he lied to them. Can anyone say rotten eggs thrown at his Office and car as he drives by? Or resigning in defeat 'cause he can't hold back the tsunami of vitriolic anger flooding over him?
He knows the risks and I don't think he'll play with fire. Joe likes his cushy seat too much. (I think there's a Foley joke in there somewhere. A tired one, admittedly, but still ... )

I'm hearing good things about VA, but not much good news from MT lately - Tester still ahead but trending badly. MO will be 49%-49%, I just about guarantee it.

6. I think 7 is still possible but 6 most likely, here is why I think 7 is |
|
Early voting in TN! 1/3rd of TN voters have already voted in a time where Ford was polling better. With a good GOTV, we can win 7.

Pennsylvania, Ohio, Montana, Rhode Island.
My pessimistic side believes that in some of the "red" states it is more important for people to vote for party instead of country .
