What are your predictions of how the House and Senate will look after the midterms?

Currently there are 435 House members
253 ( D )
178 ( R )

100 Senators
59 ( D )
41 ( R )

I will go first...

I say the GOP gains 50 seats in the house, getting the number to 228
That leaves the Democrats with 203, and the GOP controls the House

The Senate will be tougher to get control of though. While Robert KKK Byrd's seat is now in play, I don't think the GOP takes the majority.

I think they pick up 9 seats, leaving it 50-50 with VP Biden breaking any tie votes ( Lieberman and Ben Nelson could also easily vote conservative at any time )

* Since World War II, the House of Representatives has flipped parties on six occasions (1946, 1948, 1952, 1954, 1994, and 2006). Every time, the Senate flipped too, even when it had not been predicted to do so.

I just received Don Juan's prediction, via absentee ballot

He predicts the Democrats pick up 178 seats in the House
and
41 seats in the Senate ...

It won't matter unless they have the balls to drastically reduce spending and actually ELIMINATE some of the federal govt.  specifically Obamcare, and the BS Cap and Trade save the planet stuff, and then tackle the bankrupting entitlements like Medicare, Medicaid and Soc Sec, and reign in out of control bureaucracies like the EPA.

If all they do is bicker and whine and pass another budget that borrows 1 trillion, what the diff?

Why is that????

Just needed to log in. You will see this again in November. Election day. Before 10pm eastern. That is all.
