Prediction Game
Everyone is making their election predictions. I've purposefully been holding off because of any last minute surprise. I still think that a surprise is highly possible, particulary given the military maneuvers in the Straits of Hormuz and Iran firing some "test" missiles over the Persian Gulf.

With that disclaimer, I'd say that Dems will gain 30 seats in the House and the Senate will end up a 50/50 tie, giving Boltin' Joe the power position with Republicans trying to get him to switch parties. In that event, I only give it a 50/50 chance that he stays a Democrat. It'll all come down to who kisses his as .... ah ... ring the hardest.
