My Prediction Nationally

I think that the Democrats will pick up 13 seats in the House, not quite taking control, and two net in the Senate, with Lieberman winning as an independent. That leaves the House at 220 Republican to 215 Democrat (the currently independent-held seat goes to Democrat control), and the Senate at 52 Republican, 46 Democrat and 2 Independent. But that's a swag at best, because the polling has been even worse than usual this year, and it's usually not great.

UPDATE: Well, bad as the polls were, they were accurate for once. Who knew?

I guessed wrong too. We voted early and there was a much larger than usual crowd. I thought all those people were grim-faced Republicans holding their noses and voting Republican like I was. Instead, they were holding their noses and voting Democrat.
