The Fighting 29th All about New York's 29th Congressional District http://www.fighting29th.com/node/4184/atom/feed 2006-11-06T07:26:31-05:00 My (Sort-Of) Predictions http://www.fighting29th.com/2006/11/my-sort-of-predictions.html 2006-11-06T07:26:31-05:00 2006-11-06T07:26:31-05:00 Rottenchester One of the great things about this election is that nobody knows how it's going to turn out.  I wouldn't be surprised by a Massa blowout, a Massa win, or a Kuhl squeaker.  A Kuhl blowout would be a surprise, but even Bob Van Wicklin isn't predicting that.

I stick by the prediction that I made when I started this blog:  this race is a bellwether.  If it's a Massa blowout, or even a Massa win, I expect Democratic gains in both houses on the high end of analysts' predictions.  If Kuhl wins, Democrats will control the House by a razor-thin margin at best, and probably won't control the Senate.

There are no national exit polls in House races, so we'll have to wait until the polls close to determine the winner.  With New York's venerable yet reliable voting machines, returns come in quickly.  The suspense will be over shortly after voting ends at 9 p.m.
