Predictions For 2010 General Elections
I'm doing this as a summer preview of what people feel will be the outcome. Just want to see what the spread is as I think this forum is pretty well balanced politically. I'll probably do another one close to the elections.
Vote once for House answers, and once for Senate answers.

Ever since I predicted The Dark Knight would sweep the Oscars despite not being nominated, I realized I'm no good at predictions.

I predicted in 06 and then again in08 that Repubs wanted the Dems to control all 3 branchs. They needed a Scapegoat to take the fall for their actions. Amazing...Dems get handed a sh+tty hand from the GOP yet slandered....People with short term memory will vote the GOP right back into office. Makes one wonder why Repubs hate America so much...

I predict that the Republicans will take the House. Maybe not by a big majority, but they'll have it. The Senate, I think will still be held by the Democrats, simply because most of the elections that are being held in Class III are fairly safe Democratic strongholds. Although, I do think they will lose a few, and it may go down to a one seat majority. If not that, then I would otherwise predict a perfect tie.

That sounds about right for a mid term. If President Obama plays it right like President Clinton did in the 90's, then his presidency will actually benefit. Barack Obama is a pretty smart guy but I don't know if he has the political acumen of Bill Clinton.Originally Posted by Morgan

Sadly I think the republicans will make some gains.. I don't think they will have control of either house..

No hopes for a third party?
I'm predicting the Redskins will take Dallas this year.
Even though I'm a member of a third party, I find it near impossible for us to win elections in a winner take-all, first past the post election system. Not even mentioning the fact that our campaign system intentionaly excludes third parties. Independents only matter if they have the money to keep up.
