My gut feeling on today's US elections is that the elephants will pick up a few house seats and the dems a few governor seats. Perhaps 3-5 of each. The senate will end up either in elephant hands or a tie where the vice-president's vote becomes a tiebreaker. I say this because back in September the press was talking seriously about the donkeys gaining control of both house and senate. Now they don't even bring up the house at all and are jittery about the senate. Since the press votes 85% donkey, this is very telling. Believe it or not, the snipings hurt the donkeys massively. They usually depend on a six weeks or more of favorable coverage directly ahead of elecion day. But the snipers took awat 2/3 of that--maybe all because the press was reluctant to go back to boring politics.
