7 Days To Go – My predictions

I’ve shied away from making election predictions mostly out of superstition, and party out of a fear of looking like an idiot if I guess wrong. But I am cautiously optimistic about next Tuesday.

That said, here goes:

I think Democrats will gain control of the Senate.

I think we may pick up a few seats in the House but not enough.

I think Kerry will win the White House, but it will be close and there will be at least one major legal wrangle involved. However, if it goes to the SCOTUS we’re screwed, they will not rule in favor of a Democrat.

On the local level, I need to make time to review all the various propositions and figure out how I am going to vote on them all.
