What's your prediction on the November elections?

Question

I want numbers for the Congress, like for example, Shiraz believes republicans will take over most of the seats, so he will write down Republicans:100, Democrats: 0 Libertarian: 0, and any other parties you want to add

I just wanted to know your opinion, thanks!

Answer 1

I think things will be rather status quo. The democrats are extremely weak on the issues but the republicans aren't hammering them on it. For example, illegal immigration. Something like 90% of the people in this country want illegals gotten rid of and legal immigration cut down to a reasonable level. More to the point they want real border security and something done about the gang/drug crap pouring in from Mexico.

The bottom line. House republicans are for this while the house dems are agin' it. Senate republicans want border security plus amnesty (VERY unpopular amongst voters I might add) while senate dems want to sabotage border security in the hopes of another terrorist attack they can use toward political ends, plus they want amnesty. People are sick of politicians not doing what they are supposed to and are starting to harrass them over it. Republicans are changing the way they vote to be more in line with what people want. A handful of dems are doing the same while most are not.

This should be a classic situation where the dems are vulnerable to anyone who simply points out what is going on to voters. However, the GOP ain't doing it in any meaningful way. Big mistake.

Answer 2

After the announcement just days before the election that Osama bin Laden has been killed or captured, the Republicans will win at least a 10 seat majority in the Senate and about a 50 seat majority in the House as the American people - just like sheep, fall into line....baaaaa.

Should that announcement be seen for what it is - electioneering by the Republipukes - look for the Democrats to take a 53-47 lead in the Senate. And they'll take control of the House as well - probably by about 15 seats - as many career politicians get handed their unemployment checks.

Many of those career politicians by the way were ones who came in and signed the "Contract With America" in 1994 and swore to the American people they would only serve two terms (4 years). 12 years later, many of them are still there. Amazing how the Republipukes can lie and not get caught. Their time has come - its all over for them now. Finally.

Answer 3

Democrats will win enough seats in the Senate to have a majority. Probably not a big one though, maybe 51-52 Dems to 48-49 Repubs. In the House Dems will also win enough to take a majority probably about 225 Dems and 210 Repubs.

Answer 4

I think that the democrats will pick up a few seats in both the house and the senate. They might even take control of the house. The red states will still be dumb enough to vote for the repuglicans, the blue states will vote the democrats back in and the swing states will vote mostly democrat. So I think the democrats will pick up a few seats. Maybe not enough to be a majority, but enough to created a better checks and balance in the government.

Answer 5

"Dems gets here states: California, Oregon, Washington, New Mexico, Hawaii, Illinois, Iowa, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Delaware, New Jersey, enormous apple, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Massachusets, New Hampshire, Vermont and Maine." NM would be confusing to win. So will OH. And so will NH. provide Obama Virginia, get rid of OH and NM, it truly is my prediction. Yours is real looking, nevertheless. NH, NM, and OH could all choose for Obama. the toughest could be OH, yet we are going to could see how the debates pass.

Answer 6

My prediction is that after the election we will know undeniably if there remains integrity in the American vote count.

Two Gulf state ladies, Teri and Katrina, broke the grip off the right wing propaganda machine on the red states' collective imagination. Whether it was literally the power outage-induced breaks from Fox News or just the power of experience over rhetoric, the patriotic propaganda couldn't even keep up support for the slaughter of innocent brown people anymore.

This stage we've endured since 12/12/2000, bush's push to fascism, ends on election day. The next day, we will know whether he intends to move to step two, or if the ballot will retain its power to keep us free.

Election day. Be there.

Answer 7

I think we are very likely to see a land slide. Despite the media's best efforts to portray tight races around the country.. I believe that we on the ground have had enough.. democrat, green and independent..watch and see..

Answer 8

H. O. R. 435, Senate 100 = 535 seats in congress.

Answer 9

I feel that since we've got the Diebold machines in the strategic precincts in California and Ohio that the RNC will have a "close but unconstestable victory".

The lack of a paper trail or any auditing protection gives the RNC the clear edge. Even though I'm not a Republican, it's easy to see they've outsmarted our founding fathers and have created a way to void our Constitutional right to have our votes counted.

They beat us fair and square.

Answer 10

Senate: Dem 51, Rep 49
House: Dem 220, Rep 217, Ind 1
