PREDICTIONS. Like Sam, I'm a Bush baby, and thus used to disappointments. As I've said before, looking at the polls, I can't imagine Democrats won't win, but judging from experience, I can't believe they won't lose. That said, I'm an incorrigible optimist, so I'm going with 23 seats in the House, five seats in the Senate (RI, OH, PA, MT, VA), but a four seat total gain as Democrats lose Maryland. As for governorships, I say, based on no comprehension of how many are actually up for grabs, 72.
