While I was in town today I voted absentee because it sounds like I'm going to be busy on the 7th...Got me to thinking what may happen...I'm not as optomistic as Mehlman- as I think the Republicans will lose across the board in Congress- but I also don't agree with Morris that Hillary will win in 08 (God help us :roll: )....
I'm going to go with the electoral-vote.com website poll (that was almost dead on in 04)- and giving the Republicans the ties and tossups- my prediction is that the Senate will end up being split 50-50, but the House will go to the Democrats 225-210....And it will be a long next two years with little getting accomplished....

Dick Morris Says GOP Sunk in '06, Hillary Wins in '08
The GOP is [rearranging] "deckchairs on the Titanic," and single women will propel Hillary Clinton to the White House in 2008, says political analyst Dick Morris.
Republicans are watching their base shrink dramatically in the wake of the Mark Foley scandal, said Morris, appearing on "Your World" with Neil Cavuto.
