Some predictions, this election day morning, from members of the Reaction team:
Carl
- Obama will win 313 electoral votes. The Senate will see a 61-vote Democratic majority. The House will go as most predictors have said, another 30 seats or so Democratic.
- This will be the single largest repudiation of any political party in history and will seal Bush's legacy as the worst president ever.
- Electoral votes: Obama = 289; McCain = 249.
- Popular vote totals: a 10% increase in turnout to 133,175,959 (over 2004 presidential total of 121,106,905). Obama 55% = 73,246,777, McCain 43% = 57,265,662, Others 2% = 2,663,519.
- Senate will end up with 57 Democrats & 43 Republicans. House will have 258 Democratic members, 177 Republicans.
- I am excessively optimistic here. I am giving Obama 379 electoral votes.
- OK, yes, that is unreasonable and it will probably be closer to 350 electoral votes. But it's going to be a heck of a night none the less.
- I will continue my optimism by forecasting 60 Senate seats and 253 House seats for the Democrats.
- And while we're at it, the anti-gay initiatives will fail in California and Florida, but succeed in Arizona.
- Obama, in a romp.
- Upwards of 290, or more, electoral votes, and 53-55% of the popular vote.
- Senate will come close to 60, around 58-59. In the House, the Dems should go over 250.
