Here’s my Senate prediction. I already did my Presidential election prediction. The colors ARE switched from what the normal media colors, so sorry about that, but that’s the way the website I use does it. The maps are courtesy of Dave Leip’s U.S. Election Atlas, and my most current prediction can always be found here. On to the predictions…

Well, just like the Presidential prediction, here are my predictions for the Senate races (percentages is the first map, with confidence being the second map). The colors ARE switched from what the normal media colors, so sorry about that, but that’s the way the website I use does it. The maps are courtesy of Dave Leip’s U.S. Election Atlas, and my most current prediction can always be found here. On to the predictions…

Alright, so I’ve been watching C-SPAN throughout the day as much as I could, and saw everything from the US-India nuclear agreement and the Amtrak bill to the discussion on the Financial Industry Bailout bill. They’ll be voting on that next, and I’ll be live blogging as they vote, whether it looks like it’ll pass or fail. The rumor is that it’s expected to pass the 60-vote threshold, since they added some tax cut packages; however, these packages were rejected earlier in the week by the house, so it may clear the Senate, but fail the House by more than H.R. 3997 did.

There is now a rumor going around that Senator Joe Lieberman (I-CT-McCain) will be kicked out of the Democratic Caucus and lose his Chairmanship of the Homeland Security Committee. He was given that position after he agreed to caucus with the Democrats in 2006, when they needed him to give them the lead.

During an interview at West Chester University (just outside Philadelphia, PA) with Chris Matthews on Hardball: College Tour, Obama was asked, “At any time in this campaign, did you have a chuckle … something … that you just went to bed laughing about.” Obama responded with, “Oh, I think that happens once a day, but then I stopped watching cable news.” Matthews responded, “Oh.”

Today, Democratic National Committee Chairman and former Governor Dr. Howard Dean (D-VT-No endorsement yet) went on CBS’s The Early Show to discuss the ever-growing problem of infighting between Obama and Clinton. Here’s a video of Dean’s interview:

(Is it just me, or does Dean look like he’s aged a LOT since 2004? - He didn’t look so good in this interview, but then again, I’ve said that about 1/2 the people I’ve seen on TV lately.)

Senator Chris Dodd (D-CT-Obama) has joined Senator Patrick Leahy (D-VT-Obama) in telling Clinton essentially to shut up and go away (Dodd doing it a little more discretely than Leahy). Today after a meeting in Norwich, CT, Dodd told reporters:
“Obviously, if they keep at it, this nomination won’t be worth much, in my opinion. This idea of backbiting and sniping on an hourly basis is undermining our ability to win an election. Then, I think, at that point, national leadership has to stand up and say, ‘Enough is enough.’ We need to get behind a candidate. I was hopeful that others might have stepped up here. But if they don’t, I will.”
