Sunday with the Senators – Prognostication Edition

WE'VE MOVED! Democratic Convention Watch is now at http://www.DemocraticConventionWatch.com

There has been a shift in some of the Senate races that were considered by “they” to be out of reach for the Democrats. (You know, as in “they say”….whoever “they” may be.)

So today, we’re going to do something a little different. Based on what you already know, vote on what you think will happen with each of the races. For the next three Sundays, I’ll link back to this post in case you want to change your vote. The idea is not who YOU would vote for, but rather who you believe the majority of voters in each state will select on November 4.


We’ve polled before on how many seats you think we can get to, now is your chance to evaluate each race individually. Races are listed in the order of the Senate Forecast. To see all the most recent polls, click here and select “Senate” from the drop down on the left.

Democrats are in blue, Republicans are in red, the state is the colour of the currently-held seat. Third party candidates are in green. The name of each Democrat links to his/her web page, in case you’d like more information, or would like to make a contribution. I've included Texas, just in case.
