I don’t know if any fellow TAPPERS want to play along, but since I always feel the urge to make unreliable predictions I thought I’d throw my calls out there:
- President: Obama 326, McCain 212 (Obama gets all Kerry states + NM, CO, NV, OH, VA, IA, NC)
- Senate: Dems +7
- House Dems +31
- Regardless of the outcome, Mickey Kaus will claim that voters really prefer divided government, and their top priorities are draconian immigration policies and busting teacher’s unions.
Somehow, I feel most confident in that last one…
