Congressional Election Predictions

[erpowers]

How many House and Senate seats do duers think the Democratic Party will either pick up or lose in the upcoming election. For Senate I say two maybe three seats. For they House I do not know. So what do others think?

1. I'm quite optimistic

that Trent Lott's senate seat will go (D) in Mississippi. A former (D) governor is running and the race is now a tossup. I think the Dems will pick up more then two or three and I also believe the (R's) are smoking dope if they think they can get Mary Landrieu's seat.

Mississippi now has three (D's) to one (R) in the house. I doubt that will change in November.

3. Leading in the Polls

According to wikipedia.org she is leading in the polls. I think some people are wondering what will happen with New Orleans. However, it looks like she is going to keep her seat. My picks for Senate pick up were Virginia, maybe New Mexico, and North Carolina. However, it seems that is it possible that the Democrats can also pick up Texas in that the Democratic candidate there is only behind by about three percentage points which is within the margin of error for most polls.

2. Arkansas 3rd won't be picked up

because the Democratic Party ISN'T RUNNING A CANDIDATE!!!! I'm disgusted and flabbergasted, as they have run candidates in '04 and '06. So don't kick me out of DU, folks, but I have to support the Green Party Congressional candidate, because there's no other opposition to the repuke conman in office.
