With most pollsters and pundits predicting Mitt Romney will eak out a presidential win tomorrow (I'm cautiously optimistic), fewer people are discussing the Senate races. As Mark Levin has continued to mention, without Republicans winning back the Senate, Obama(doesn't)Care will not be able to be repealed. (The House is expected to stay Republican).
Here's John Gizzi at Human Events discussing a number of key Senate races, in which he predicts a couple of seats going to the Democrats, while enough seats go to Republicans to give them the majority:
His predictions:
Maine: RINO Olympia Snow retires and the seat goes to an independent former governor, who will caucus with the Democrats. Knowing nothing of the politics of this state, I have no reason not to disagree with that prediction.
Massachusetts: Scott Brown Will lose his seat to Faux-cohontas, Democrat Elizabeth "high cheek bones" Warren. I sincerely hope Gizzi is wrong about this one. Warren is a detestable woman who lied about being a Native American in order to secure affirmative action-based job acceptance. She's a shrill radical feminist of the worst sort and her rhetoric, like President Hope&Change, consists of nothing but Marxist-socialist claptrap.
Connecticut: Republican Linda McMahon beats her opponent, Chris Murphy, making her the first Republican from that state since 1988.
Montana: Dem Incumbent Jon Tester will be beaten by challenger Dan Rehberg. Right now the polls have them at a virtual tie. What is it with Montana anyway? I always considered them folks who cherish rugged individualism and traditional values? What's with this lefty Democrat Senator of theirs?
Nebraska: Democrat Ben Nelson is retiring, and conservative Republican Deb Fischer is ahead by several against Democrat challenger Bob Kerrey. Wait, you might be asking, wasn't Kerrey already a Senator from Nebraska before? Why yes, he was. Apparently there are so few qualified Democrats in Nebraska that they had to bring Kerrey back from New York City, where he's been living the past several years, and run for the seat again. What a joke.
North Dakota: Democrat Kent Conrad is outa here, and Gizzi predicts Republican Rick Berg will defeat challenger Heidi Heitkamp. The polls seem to bear this prediction out. Again, North Dakota is one of those states I would've expected to be reliably red, yet both their current Senators and single Congressman are Democrats!
Ohio: This is one of the hottest Senate races. Democrat incumbent Sherrod Brown faces a 34-year-old Iraq-Afghanistan vet Josh Mandel. Gizzi goes for Mandel as a long shot but I just don't see it. In almost all the current polls Brown is ahead comfortably above the margin of error. Too bad. This guy has put his foot in his mouth more than once over the years.
Wisconsin: 70-year-old 4-term governor Republican Tommy Thompson should win.
Pennsylvania: Gizzi predicts Republican candidate Tom Smith, who spent at least $12 million of his own money, will unseat Democrat Bob Casey. Like the Ohio race, the polls look seem to indicate the Democrat incumbent is very safe.
If Gizzi's predictions are all correct, the Republicans will take the House 52-48. If he's wrong on Ohio and Pennsylvania, it will be 50-50!
