I believe the GOP picks up 45-50 house seats, and 7-9 Senate seats as of today. I also see an upward trend in GOP Governors. Anyone have thoughts or predictions?
The Dems will lose 80 seats.
I think the Dems lose both their House and Senate majorities. Not by enough to block a filibuster though.
I also think that unless the President scales back his agenda, starts seriously trying to address unemployment, works more on the deficit, stops blaming the previous administration for all his woes and starts taking some responsibility, he's a one-termer. If his base gets any smaller, he could end up with a fight just to win the nomination for 2012.

Agenda | Change.gov: The Obama-Biden Transition Team
He bit off more than he can chew. He is stretching his 'power', so to speak, in too many directions, with the end result that either things don't get done or they get done poorly. His dismal approval ratings and those of the Democratic majority show that the voters are less than satisfied with the way the President is running this country.
Had he not tried to work out such an ambitious agenda, maybe stuck with the economy and unemployment, the economy (and his approvals) would not be in the toilet right now.
Wait wait wait, hold on, we are living on debt, and it's the companies fault for not raising the wages?No, the economy would still be where it's at right now. It wasn't Obama who had an ambitious agenda, it was businesses who had it well before him. The economy isn't because of anything that Obama did, or that Bush did. The economy is crapsack because we've been living on debt while businesses have neglected to raise wages to meet it. This is what created the credit bubble, and why the economy sucks right now.
None of that is Obama's fault, and Bush isn't as responsible as people think. Even so, hyperpartisan hacks will take advantage of of all this crap.

It's okay, Liblady. Some people just have a hard time thinking for themselves.
Really? I'm not crazy about him. I'll change it to 79 seats
so you follow the mid terms that closely? which of the seats to you figure reps will pick up? i'm interested.
Pennsylvania,West Virginia, Illinois,Indiana,Wisconsin, No.Dakota, Arkansas - GOP Senate Pickups with Missouri,Florida,Ohio, New Hampshire staying in the GOP column. Only current GOP seat in Jeopardy is Kentucky. Colorado either way.
Reid,Boxer & Murray survive barely.
GOP picks up 31 House seats.
28 days out.
Errr, you do realize that Governor Crist, who was a Republican, is running for Senate as an Independent, and so will likely split the ticket with Mark Rubio, thus giving the plurality of votes to Kendrick Meeks, don't you?
No I don't and I can't name the 79 seats we will win. I think we will win all that have been in the news or on DP except for O'Donnell and I'm not so sure she can beat the marxist but I hope she does.
79 was a guess, but I bet it's not far off given the enthusiasm of the (R's) (I's), Libertarians, and Tea Partiers to turn this train wreck around.
We'll see in NOV.
