1. Obama 349-189
We'll win the big three (FL, PA, OH), VA, CO, NM, IA, Kerry states, and either MO or IN (I doubt it'll be both).

Prop 8 fails 47-53

Senate: 57-41-2 (We wind up booting Lieberman due to not hitting the 60 vote threshold.)
Pickups: Franken (MN), Merkley(OR), Hagan (NC), Shaheen (NH), Begich (AK), Udall (CO), Udall (NM), Warner (VA)
Near-misses: Lunsford (KY), Martin (GA)

House: 260-175 (+24 Dem seats)

3. Obama: 306, McCain: 232
Edited on Mon Nov-03-08 03:07 PM by Phoonzang
Win in VA, NV, NM, CO, NC. Lose in OH, FL, MO, IN. Possible surprise victory in MT and/or ND.

Prop 8: I couldn't even begin to guess.

4. Obama: 325+. Prop 8 will lose by
and lawsuits and much rending of clothes and tearing of hair by the religious nuts.

6. I hope so. I'm very resentful of how much churches have gotten involved in the whole Prop 8 thing.

9. Obama/Biden: 329 McFailin: 209
Big BG States won: CO,FL,NM,PA,
Obama upsets McCain in IN and VA

Some notable Senate pickups: CO(Udall), NM(Udall), MN(Frankin), NC(Hagan), AK(Begich) and VA(Warner)
I think we'll pick up some more seats than just those but to be honest I havent followed any others too terribly well.

Prop 8, I really have no idea.
