Well, Election Day fast approaches (PARTY TIME, BEEYATCHES!) and I suppose it's time I throw in my predictions which everyone can challenge at the Election Day party at my apartment I know all y'all are going to. Seriously. If anything radical changes I'll post addendums, but that not withstanding, here are my predictions for the 110th Congress.

( And you wonder why he never has a date... )

So, those the big ones as I see it. As I say, who knows what will happen in the next week. For those not keeping score while reading, that's 19 Democratic pickups, leading to House composition of 222 Democrats, 213 Republicans. Not exactly a commanding majority for the Democrats, but enough to keep the Bush administration in check on enough issues of national import to essentially bring the country to a standstill for two years. Whoopie. You know your nation is on the decline when the best you can hope for it two years of pointless fighting. Please note, I'd like to think I was fairly conservative in my predictions. I am not adverse nor would I be surprised by 1994 style turnout with the Democrats dominating both chambers with a vengeance. To find out, you should come for my apartment 7 November for the drunken Election Day festivities. There shall be a large board where we keep track as results come in and you can mock me for my failed predictions. Oh, what a glorious day that shall be!

Coming up next, the hopefully shorter to write Senate entry!
