So, the U.S. mid-term elections are tomorrow and in celebration of the greatest democracy ever to exist on this fair planet of ours, I'm going to lay down some solid hard predictions on some of the Senate races up for grabs tomorrow on Tuesday the 7th of November this 2006.
My predictions:

I didn't give as detailed a predictions as you, but I more or less predicted the same outcome. I think the Democrats taking the House is far more of a certainty than them taking the Senate.
These are days when I miss working in a political environment *sigh*
Lamont is going to take Connecticut. Lieberman's support of the Iraq war really put him on the bad side of a lot of Dems, and I don't think he's in favor with enough Republicans to sneak through the middle.
I also think that Casey might take PA with a bit more than 55% over Santorum, and if early reports are any indication, McCaskill is going to go down to Talent due to malfunctioning electronic voting machines (see Wonkette for more info).
I love election predictions :-)
