  • Mid-term Prognostications 2018 -- Time to Shine like Silver!

    Well, the day is here (and thank you God, because I can't stand the election ads any longer).

    Make your prognostications here. And I mean specific. Pick the upset. Pick the margin of a candidate over another. Pick how the House or Senate splits come January (to the numbers).

    Let your inner Nate Silver shine!

    Dems win the House by 30 Seats.
    Republicans keep the Senate with 51 Seats.

      House: +40 net for Dems (they'll drop one in Minny and one in PA due to redistricting).
      Senate: 49/51. Win NV and AZ. Lose ND and either MO or IN (I'd say MO more likely). All other seats remain with incumbent party.
      Gov: +9 with Dem wins in ME, FL, OH, MI, IL, IA, WI, NM and NV. Would love to add GA to that but won't predict that will happen.

        I think the Dems gain 53 seats in the House. I think the Senate stays the same, 51/49.
        That community is already in the process of dissolution where each man begins to eye his neighbor as a possible enemy, where non-conformity with the accepted creed, political as well as religious, is a mark of disaffection; where denunciation, without specification or backing, takes the place of evidence; where orthodoxy chokes freedom of dissent; where faith in the eventual supremacy of reason has become so timid that we dare not enter our convictions in the open lists, to win or lose.

          I think Heitkamp finishes far closer to Cramer in ND than the polling so far, say within 4 points.

            House +33 Dems

            Senate 49/51

            Hawley, Cramer, for GOP but Sinema and Rosen for Dem.

              Michigan

              There will be a hand recount in at least one of MI-8 and MI-11.

              Stabenow wins by at least 5 points, despite losing some ground to John James the last few weeks.

              Whitmer beats Schuette by 3-4 points.

              BI 1 (marijuana) & 3 (voter reg reform) pass, but BI2 re: the redistricting commission doesn't get to 50% because of the Republican disinformation campaign

              The Rest of the Republic

              Dems pick up 34 seats in the House, tilting it 227-208 in their favor

              Senate ends up 51/49 when Dems win NV, and McCaskill and Donnelly both survive by less than 1%, but they lose the Arizona and (obv) North Dakota races

              Cruz wins 53/47.

                ND Measure 1 passes (because it has the word "ethics" in it; it's a reasonable proposal with a horrible supremacy clause).
                ND Measure 3 fails (no legalized marijuana this time around).

                    One more:

                    Highest mid-term voter turnout (gross numbers or by percentage of electorate) in last 100 years, and by percentage higher than at least one Presidential election year in the last 100.

                      If you think there is any chance at all that the Dems can switch the Senate (given their near certainty to take over the House), Bovada will give you a pretty nice payout on your $100.

                      On the other hand, if the GOP retains the House and the Dems take over the Senate, we're going to want to check with Bovada to see who, exactly, may have placed some sizable bets on that outcome.

                            Democrats sweep the House and Governor races in Alaska, BANK ON IT!

                            Or in reality the Democrats might win Governor but lose the House seat.
