The Final Blog: Predictions

My final blog, on this wonderful Sunday night (From Austin, Texas) and I plan on talking to you about politics. Dirty, simple, politics. Prediction time from this mouth, lets see what happens.

A couple weeks ago, I gave some insight to the key Senate races, and some mild predictions, tonight I make my final ones. Its time to go.

Senate

Ok, so the Democrats have been in full campaign and get out the vote mode. Conservatives have stuck with ads. So now, the Democrats have gained some momentum. Conservatives have run out of money and seem to be saying, "Hey, we will take the house (maybe) so that's good enough."

Dems retain 52 seats (With VP Biden it is 53) and the Reps don't quite make it. But a good push, nonetheless.

House

The house is impossible to predict. There is very little polling done in the districts for house representatives, so its hard to predict. Arguably, it comes down to who gets people out in their districts.

At the end of the day, the Reps will have a slight majority, with 222 seats. This creates a split congress, which if you ask John Adams and Ben Franklin, is the way it is always supposed to be.

Governors

Another tough thing to predict, because states are all about getting voters out. Like in our state of Texas, their are actually more registered Democrats than there are Republicans, but because it never appears Democrats have a chance (Not since the 80's), they don't get out.

I am predicting a split governorship. 25 states for the Dems, 25 for the Reps. Lots of angry arguing.

It has been a pleasure to write this blog, I hope you all enjoyed it. I have certainly enjoyed writing it. My intention was to provide unbiased predictions that represented facts and polling, not any emotional issues. I hope to your satisfaction I succeeded.

Remember, you have NO right to complain if you don't vote. Literally, if I hear you bitch, I will ask you if you voted, and if you say no, I will tape your mouth. Exercise your right, not your jaw.
