2008 U.S Election Predictions

We are now just 4 days out from the 2008 United States National Elections and the consensus appears to be a sweeping win for the Democrats in the Senate, House and Presidential elections. The lingering question is; just how big will they win in each of the elections?

My predictions are as follows:

The Presidential Election

Obama will win: Oregon, California,
Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Hawaii, Illinois, Iowa, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, Virginia, Washington DC, Washington State and Wisconsin. This will give him 364 Electoral College Votes.

McCain will win: Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, Georgia, Idaho, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Montana, Nebraska, North Dakota, Oklahoma, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, West Virginia and Wyoming. This will give him 174 Electoral College Votes.


The Senatorial Elections

The Democrats will win: Alaska, Arkansas, Colorado, Delaware, Iowa, Illinois, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Michigan, Montana, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, North Carolina, Oregon, Rhode Island, South Dakota, Virginia and West Virginia. This will give them 58 Senate seats.
