Electoral Predictions Thread

These might be more aspirational than anything else, but here goes:

  1. Popular vote: Obama 54.2%, McCain 44.5%, Third party 1.3%
  2. Electoral votes: Obama 396, McCain 142
  3. Senate seats: Dems 57, GOPs 41, IND 2
  4. House seats: Dems 257, GOPs 178
  5. Governorships: Dems 28, GOPs 22

Once again, I predict that I will be wrong on all of these. More importantly, I'll be satisfied with Democratic pickups in the House and Senate as well as an Obama victory. I'll be thrilled if Obama wins by more than 4 points in addition to the above. I'll be overjoyed if Obama wins Montana (simply to make the map look bluer) in addition to the above. And if my predictions come through, I'll be ecstatic.

What do you think is going to happen?
