UPDATE 11/7 11:48pm - I have bolded the predictions that I got right and striked the ones I missed. Some surprises in the house races. I'll continue updating...


UPDATE 11/7 6:20pm - I'll be watching the returns with Allan Burns, candidate for GA-7 tonight. I'll be updating/marking up my predictions as we go tonight.



The house races are the toughest ones to predict. Democrats do get a majority but not the 35-40 seats some are predicting. Again..I hope I am wrong....

I did not count the D PICKUPS until I finished the list. I expected to have around 19 when I finished. It looks like I ended up with 28. I'm not sure we will pick up this many.
