Rick, just keep in mind all of this is dynamic, changes occur. The numbers are also as of today, if the election were held today, this is the likely outcome. Some changes occur fast in a short time; others take a very long time. Back in June it looked like it would be the Republicans gaining a seat or two in the senate. Today the odd is the Democrats will be the gaining party, of 1-2 seats, most likely 2.

In the house, the gain of 18-20 seats by the Republicans going district by district has been steady since redistricting was completed. This doesn’t mean there won’t be changes or they may occur fairly rapidly or perhaps no change at all.

Governors have always looked like a 3-4 seat pickup for the Democrats since January. No change there. The key is where, which states when it comes to governorships and the senate. Remember in the senate it’s the Republicans who are defending 21 seats to the Democrats 14. The same for governors, 28 governors are Republican, 22 Democrat. The house is different, the Democrats are defending more seats, 222-213.


It's high past time that we start electing Americans to congress and the presidency who put America first instead of their political party. For way too long we have been electing Republicans and Democrats who happen to be Americans instead of Americans who happen to be Republicans and Democrats.
