My Fearless Senate Predictions...

I believe that the Democrats will win 4 GOP seats: Donnelly in Indiana, Warren in Massachusetts, King (I) in Maine (I believe he will caucus with democrats) and in a surprise, Latino voters will provide a narrow margin for Richard Carmona in Arizona.

The GOP will pick up 1 Democratic seat--Nebraska. Bob Kerrey has made a good fight of it, but I believe the GOP edge in NE will overwhelm him.

The other upset will be Democrat Heidi Heitkamp will retain the North Dakota Senate seat for the Democrats.

Other key races: McCaskill hangs on in MO; Baldwin beats Thompson in WI; Kaine wins in VA; Casey holds his seat in PA; Brown wins by 6 in Ohio; Nelson triumphs in FL & Murphy smacks down McMahon in CT & narrowly Tester in MT.

Yes, I'm predicting a net gain of 3 for the Dems.

Donnoly will he surprise some and beat Murdock.Warren will be big democratic pickup.King will easily win In Maine and be a bit more centrist version of Sanders but be reliable Liberal compared to Lieberman.Caroma will narrowly win In Arizona.

GOP will win In Nebraska but my prediction Is Bob Kerrey only loses narrowly.

I agree with Heidi Heitkamp will pull a upset In ND.

McCaskill wins In Mo,Tester hangs on In MT,Baldwin beats Thompson,Kaine winw In VA.Casey n Pa and Nelson In Florida win easily.
Brown has good margin of victory In Ohio,and Murphy wins In CT.

Come on now, we have a close race here in The Silver State. What is your cheesehead opinion of Shelly Berkley (D) vs Sen Dean Heller (R) Incumbent. It will be close.
