House Hopes, Fears And Forecasts--Your Call!

by: Paul Rosenberg

Sat Nov 01, 2008 at 19:00


It's your turn, folks.  We're almost done with this crazy, wonderful wild ride of an election cycle, and I want to invite everyone who's bold enough to step forward to share your hopes, fears and forecats of what's to come.  I'm starting this afternoon with the House, and will follow tomorrow with the Senate, and Monday with the big enchilada.  What I want to know is:

(1) What's your biggest hope for

(a) Electing someone to the House?  And why, of course, if you still have the strength to put that into words.

(b) Getting rid of someone in the House?  And, of course, why.

(2) What's your biggest fear of what we might not accomplish?  (Could be focused on one seat, one state, or the whole election.)

(3) What's your forecast of how well we'll do? (And, don't forget to double up by voting in the poll as well.)

For reference, the PDF of Chris's last forecast is  here, and the update diary summarizing changes is here.

I'm adding my own thoughts... in the comments, of course!

House Hopes, Fears And Forecasts--Your Call! | 33 comments
Here ya go... (4.00 / 3)
1a. Darcy Burner
1b. Michelle Bachmann

2. We may not turn the NYS Senate blue.

3. Obama - 397 EVs
House - 28 seat gain
Senate - 8 seats with a special coming in December

And let me add a second place for 1a. (4.00 / 2)
tie:

Charlie Brown
Gary Trauner

Yeah, Bachmann Would Be Pretty High On My List (0.00 / 0)
But I gotta go with someone who's been on my radar screen for a long, long time.

Me First! (I Think) (4.00 / 2)
(1) Biggest hope for

(a) Electing someone to the House?  Darcy Burner.  The more they slime her, the more reason to appreciate all she's done, even before getting elected.

(b) Getting rid of someone in the House?  Dana Rohrabacher.  Because of that damn picture I had over my desk at Random Lengths News of him paling around with Mujahadeen terrorists.

(2) What's your biggest fear of what we might not accomplish?   That we lose 5-10 seats by the narrowest of margins--and these could very well have been overcome with more diligent push-back against voter suppression efforts.

(3) What's your forecast of how well we'll do? 33 House seats.


"You know what they say -- those of us who fail history... doomed to repeat it in summer school." -- Buffy The Vampire Slayer, Season 6, Episode 3

my answers (0.00 / 0)
1. a. John Adler (NJ3).  South Jersey is turning blue, and I'd like our Congressional Representatives to represent that. An open seat is a huge opporunity.  Polls show the race is tied with a huge number of undecideds.

b. Scott Garrett (NJ5): It's unbelieveable that this right-wing extremist has a seat from NJ. (The previous Republican was a moderate, as NJ should have.) Dennis Shulman would be a fine Representative.  

2. Fear has to be that polls are somehow wrong and Obama loses. It may not be a rational fear, but there it is. I don't think losing the House or Senate is possible.  On a more limited scale, I'm worried about the two open house seats in NJ, I don't know that we're doing as well as I hoped.

3.  We'll lose a few House seats this time, so I went with 21-25.  I think we'll get up to 58 seats in the Senate (without Lieberman)  Obama will get more than 300 electoral votes.



New Jersey politics at Blue Jersey.

My Picks (4.00 / 3)
Dems net 25-30 House seats.
Dems net 7 Senate seats.

1. Biggest wins: WA-08, CO-04, MN-06
2. Biggest potential upsets: CA-46, NE-02
3. Biggest Disappointment: We don't get McConnel
4. Biggst fears: Obama's win as not as big as expected, allowing Republicans and PUMA's to take shots until January. Gov. Gregoire loses.


Here We Go (4.00 / 2)
1a. My biggest hope is for Joe Garcia and/or Raul Martinez to break through in FL-21 and/or FL-25. The implications on statewide Florida politics of the Democratic Party breaking into the Republican Cuban American strongholds in South Florida and establishing a foothold are huge.

1b. Tie: Chris Shays and Michelle Bachmann. Shays is an unprincipled opportunist and Bachmann is cloned from the same DNA as Coulter and Palin.

2. Failure to accomplish 1a would be tough.

3. Democrats will lose 4 seats: FL-16, PA-11, PA-12, and TX-22.

Democrats will pick up 30 seats (pending any LA runoffs): AK-AL, AZ-01, CA-04, CO-04, CT-04, FL-08, FL-21, FL-24, IA-04, IL-10, IL-11, IN-03, MD-01, MI-07, MI-09, MN-06, MO-09, NJ-03, NJ-07, NM-01, NC-08, NV-03, NY-13, NY-25, NY-29, OH-01, OH-15, OH-16, PA-03, VA-11.

Net gain: 26 seats.

Great minds think alike. (4.00 / 2)
Amazingly, my forecast is nearly identical to yours (which was done completely independently):

Predicted Dem Pickups (30)

NY-13 (Open) - Vito Fossella's district
AK-AL (Young) - Tied to Stevens scandal
IL-11 (Open) - Open seat in Dem year
NY-25 (Open) - Maffei just missed last time
NY-29 (Kuhl) - Goodbye, Shotgun Randy
FL-24 (Rooney) - Too wingnutty for swing district in Dem year
VA-11 (Open) - Open seat in Dem year
NJ-09 (Open) - Stender just missed last time
AZ-01 (Open) - Open seat in Dem year
NC-08 (Hayes) - "Liberals hate America" guy
OH-15 (Open) - Kilroy just missed last time
NM-01 (Open) - Open seat in Dem year, Dem district
MI-09 (Knollenberg) - Dem district, Dem state, Dem year
MI-07 (Walberg) - Freshman in Dem district
NJ-03 (Open) - Open seat in Dem year, Dem district
FL-08 (Keller) - District getting bluer
OH-15 (Open) - Open seat in Dem year
OH-16 (Open) - Open seat in Dem year
MN-06 (Bachmann) - Sunk by Chris Matthews
CT-04 (Shays) - Last Republican seat in all of New England
MD-01 (Open) - Primaried incumbent supports Dem over wingnut
CO-04 (Musgrave) - Weak incumbent
CA-04 (Open) - Doolittle scandal seat, but very red district
IL-10 (Kirk) - Rematch, Obama wave too much
NM-02 (Open) - Open seat in Dem year
IN-03 (Souder) - Surprise in deep red district
PA-03 (English) - Weak incumbent
WA-08 (Reichert) - Most expensive race in country
OH-01 (Chabot) - Wave year casualty
NV-03 (Porter) - Obama wave too strong

Predicted GOP Pickups (4)

FL-16 (Mahoney) - Sex scandal seat (Foley's)
TX-22 (Lampson) - DeLay's seat, too red to hold
PA-11 (Kanjorski) - Mystery why Kanjorski is losing
PA-12 (Murtha) - I think he sealed his fate this time

To answer the questions:

1a Kratovil.  This is my parents's district, and most people are appalled at what happened to Gilchrist.

1b (tie) Mean Jean (OH-02) and Shotgun Randy (NY-29).  Do either really need any explanation?

2 Lose too many close races and not maximize potentiall damage to GOP brand.

3 +26 (see above).  I think it's probably going to be closer to 29 or 30 since there are other close ones that Dems will win, but I can't say which ones.

My answers (4.00 / 1)
(1) What's your biggest hope for:
Better and more Democrats of course.

(a) Electing someone to the House?  Judy Baker.  Missouri is a place with a lot of potential.

(b) Getting rid of someone in the House?  Bachmann, because she us evil and batshit crazy.

(2) What's your biggest fear of what we might not accomplish?  Al Franken.  I know its not the house, but MN is heavily Obama and Franken is only polling so close because he is a comedian.

(3) What's your forecast of how well we'll do? 59 Senate, 290ish in the EC... No idea about the house.  Love to see MS, GA, or KY go our way in the Senate.

Here are mine (4.00 / 3)
1a. Burner, hands down
1b. Bachmann. Followed by Rorhbacher and Schmidt. But I grew up in Minnesota, so definitely Bachman
2. Franken doesn't win
Obama 396
House 32
Senate 9
My Answers... (4.00 / 3)
1a. Darcy Burner.  She had a freaking < /war> shirt on when her house burned down.  Need I say more?
1b. Steve King.  Yeah, he was the one that built a wall of Legos on the House floor to demonstrate the need for immigration reform.
2. My biggest fear is that we don't come away from this with a sweeping mandate.  Kind of vague, I guess, but whatever.
3. Obama 350
  Senate 57, not including Lieberman
  House +25
Yeah, The T-Shirt You're Wearing When Your House Burns Down Really Says A Lot About You (4.00 / 1)
It's so weird, because it's a heartbreaking photo.  But the t-shirt just makes you go, "Yeah!"

Massa (4.00 / 2)
Hope for Eric Massa
Get-Rid of Scott Garrett & Marilyn Musgrave
I fear falling short in the Senate races in Georgia, Kentucky & Minnesota.
If we're talking about just the House (4.00 / 2)
1a is a tie between Debbie Cook, who I adore deeply, and Darcy Burner, who I feel the same way about. They are both amazing candidates and really, REALLY need to be in the Congress.

1b. Crazy Dana. My own run-ins with him when I was a conservative teenager in Orange County in the 1990s were instrumental in turning me away from the dark side.

2. Bachmann reelected.

3. We'll pick up around 20 seats, plus or minus 2.

Yes, Just The House! Thanks, Robert! (0.00 / 0)
You have restored my faith in humanity.  You will be rewarded with a clean slate tomorrow, when we turn our attention to the Senate, and you have not already spilled the beans all over the proverbial whatever.

As for what you've said about Dana Insana, that's pretty powerful stuff, considering how many loony toons conservatives there are in OC.  That he towered above them all in turning you from the dark side is indeed a powerful testament to how much it would mean to be rid of him.

[ Parent ]
I wouldn't say that (4.00 / 1)
Bob Dornan played the biggest role. Crazy Dana was a close second. Both of them made me realize "omg these people are nuts" and that there had to be something seriously wrong with a movement that they were a part of.
[ Parent ]
My picks (4.00 / 1)
1a. Josh Zeitz, because Chris Smith is vile, and I can't believe someone like him actually holds public office. Moreover, Josh Zeitz is the type of young progressive we need to strengthen the Democratic party. He's truly a better Democrat. I also think we should have more teachers in Congress; that's the only way we'll fix our educational system. I also like Josh Segall (because I never imagined a pro-choice Jewish Democrat would have a chance in my home state). Funnily enough, both of these Joshes went to Brown. It must be something in the New England air that breeds such great progressives!    

1b. Christopher Shays, because Jim Himes would be a solid progressive and CT would get rid of their last-Republican-standing faux-moderate. Moreover, it'll be a lot harder for the media to push for bipartisanship when the Republican party is ruled by people perceived as hardcore rightwingers.

2. I fear not winning seats for our progressives, particularly those outside of solid blue districts. If most of the newly elected Democrats are conservatives and Blue Dogs, it becomes that much easier for the media to reject the notion of a progressive mandate. If the only progressives elected are from places like Boulder (the promising Jared Polis), the pundits will dismiss the wins as local quirks (not an indication of a national, far-reaching mandate).

3. I think we can gain more than 35 seats. The Republican brand is so tarnished, that I can see a lot of new voters going for the straight ticket (even if the Republican opponent claims to be moderate).  

Democrats I would not miss (0.00 / 0)
If we lose Murtha and/or Mahoney, I won't be shedding any tears.
What do I want? (4.00 / 1)
I want it all!


A Minnesota View (4.00 / 4)
1a.  El Tinklenberg and Ashwin Madia.  I live in the one precinct in Coon Rapids, MN that is not in the 3rd District, so I am sad not to be able to vote for a candidate who reflects the face of the future - Ashwin Madia.  But, since I am in the 6th District, I am passionately supporting El Tinklenberg - for his sake but also for 1b.
1b.  Please God!  Michele Bachmann. I am sure I do not need to tell you why!  I am only grateful that this is no longer just a MN 6th District secret and all of the US knows about our struggle to get rid of this mad woman!
2. My greatest fear is more long term - people will expect Barack Obama to perform miracles by himself and will write him off too early in his first term.  He needs support and we need to be pressuring our representatives in congress to give it to him.  And, Change will still be an evolution. That is the way our constitution is written.
3.  I believe we will do very well.  I expect 25 or more seats gained.
Here goes (4.00 / 1)
1a. Tom Perriello. Tom's one of us, a real good guy and a progressive, he'll be one of the best in the Congress.

1b. Michelle Bachmann. Every time Michelle Bachmann speaks a angel loses it's wings.

2. Way, way too much. Losing on Prop 8, losing MN-Sen. Losing the NYS State Senate, losing the whole damn thing. I could go on for ages.

3. 30-35. I have not finalized my predictions yet so I don't want to throw around lots of numbers.

John McCain: Beacuse lobbyists should have more power

Answers for House, plus (4.00 / 1)
1) HOPES:
a and b (individual seat): NJ-05 Shulman over Garrett w/ collateral damage to AIPAC;
a (team): Filibuster-proof Senate; Progressive Caucus largest in House
b (team): NYS Con Party loses ballot position to WFP; GOP loses NYS Senate;
most general: mandate for socialism at a time when market fundamentalist bubble has popped.
2) FEARS:
House: Blue Dogs maintain veto power in Dem caucus;
Worst fear: some racist sharpshooter gets through the Secret Service;
Higher probability, lower consequence fear: some right wing ballot propositions sneak through.
3) FORECAST:
Obama by +10 points net popular vote, 54-44-1-1, 200+ EV margin: 370-168 or so;
Dems +30 in House (ie gain 30 seats, add 60 to margin);
Dems +8 seats in US Senate;
Dems take over NYS Senate with +3 seats, from 30-32 to 33-29.

There is no such thing as a free market.
hopes and fears (4.00 / 2)
1a) Darcy Burner I hope and pray, also El Tinklenberg, please, please, please.  Darcy for the reasons everyone else has too and El specifically to speak back to McCarthyism.

1b) The Florida bottom-feeding triumvirate, especially the Diaz-Balarts.  I used to teach one of them in high school and carry not exactly guilt, but a feeling of implication in his having articulate enough English skills to have prevailed in the fact-free Republican South Florida party for this long. Go Martinez and Garcia!!!!

2) My nightmare would be for Gregoire to lose to Rossi.  Did canvassing today and didn't encounter anyone voting for him, but there is supposedly an Obama-Rossi contingent. People are waking up to this in Seattle.

3) I think we will do very well in the House, over 30 new seats.

My hopes and dreams (4.00 / 1)
(1) Biggest hope for electing someone to the House: Eleanor Holmes Norton, and by electing her to the House, I mean D.C. finally getting voting rights.

(b) Getting rid of someone in the House: 4 Republicans, John Kline (MN-02), Michele Bachmann (MN-06), and the Diaz-Balart Brothers (FL-21 and Fl-25) and 2 Democrats, Tim Mahoney (FL-16) and Travis Childers (MS-01).  John Kline represents the area I grew up in and is a conservative Texan who has done nothing for the district.  Im hoping Steve Sarvi can pull a huge upset on election day.  Michele Bachmann increasingly represents my home state in the national media and is an embarrassment to anyone that calls themselves a Minnesotan. Knocking off the Diaz-Balart brothers would go a long way towards convincing the Democratic party that the embargo is not the be all and end all of South Florida politics and might lead to some solid changes in our relationship with Cuba.  Tim Mahoney is a corrupt Democrat and we should show no tolerance for that in our caucus.  Travis Childers thought winning votes in Mississippi was more important than the people of Washington D.C. being able to create and alter their own gun laws.

(2) Biggest fear of what we might not accomplish:  I worry that Al Franken may lose, preventing us from taking 60 seats and giving us another 6 years of slimy Norm Coleman and Republican obstructionism.  I fear that Senator Obama may not win by as big of a margin as many are currently predicting, leading the media to discount the notion of a mandate for Democratic policies.

(3) What's your forecast of how well we'll do? I'm going with my hopes rather than my fears, Obama is going to win in a landslide.  I think he takes 397 electoral votes, winning the Kerry States, IA, MO, IN, OH, NM, CO, NV, MT, ND, GA, NC, VA, FL, and Omaha.  I think we pick up 9 Senate seats, knocking off McConnell and forcing Chambliss to a run-off.  I think we pick up 25-30 seats in the House.

"Never separate the life you live from the words you speak" -Paul Wellstone

34 Seat Pick-Up (4.00 / 2)
Biggest Hopes:(a) Jim Himes CT-4 defeats Chris Shays and turns New England Blue from Caribou, Maine to Danbury, Connecticut.

(b)  Although I will miss the laughs, getting rid of Bill Sali in ID-01 would be nice.  This is an R+19 district, but Walt Minnick has a better than even chance of winning this seat.  With the country at war and Americans hurting, Sali introduced a bill to lower the earth's gravity to fight obesity.  Sali said that abortion is a leading cause of breast cancer.  He located both his campaign headquarters and his congressional office in ID-02.  He has used paid congressional staff to run his campaign and he failed to meet an FEC filing deadline because of computer problems.  Basically, he's an idiot.  

(2) Failure to do better in Pennsylvania.  I hope that I am wrong, but my projection below would mean that Pennsylvania will suffer the net loss of 1 congressional seat.  There are two D+2 and two R+2 congressional districts held by Republicans in Pennsylvania.  Based on these enticing PVIs, I once had high hopes for Pennsylvania this cycle.  Kathy Dahlkemper has the best shot for a pick-up in PA-3, which is one of the R+2 districts.  Sam Bennett has an outside chance in PA-15, a D+2 district.  But any gains there could be offset if Murtha loses his seat and if Paul Kanjorski in PA-11 loses his reelection bid.  Frustrating.  

(3) My best guess is a 34 seat gain for Democrats, which includes a pick up in LA-4.  LA-4 holds a primary on Nov. 4 and a general election further down the road.  This will give the Democrats a margin of over 100 seats!  The Democrats will pick 37 seats: AL-2, AK-AL, AZ-1, CA-4, CA-46, CO-4, CT-4, FL-8, FL-21, FL-24, FL-25, ID-01, IL-10, IL-11, IN-3, LA-4, MD-1, MI-7, MI-9, MN-3, MN-6, NV-2, NV-3, NJ-3, NJ-7, NM-1, NM-2, NY-13, NY-25, NY-26, NY-29, NC-08, OH-14, OH-15, VA-11, WA-08, WY-01.  Republicans will gain the following 3: FL-16, TX-22, and PA-11.    


I'm afraid that Blue Dogs will ruin the whole party (4.00 / 3)
(1a) Mary Jo Kilroy in OH-15. That's my district, and if she wins, then for the first time in my life I will be represented by a Democrat in the House.

(1b) Michelle Bachmann. Really, what else could I add? Defeating her would send a clear message rejecting the Reptilians' message of hate this year.

(2) I'm afraid that the Democratic majority will be full of Blue Dogs who will ruin all of the potential for progressive change.

(3) Net pickup of 28 seats.

Hopes and fears (4.00 / 1)
(1) Biggest hope for

(a) Electing someone: Larry Kissel

(b) Getting rid of someone: Robin Hayes

(2) Biggest fear: no gains in the south  

Save Our Schools! March & National Call to Action, July 28-31, 2011 in Washington, DC: http://www.saveourschoolsmarch...

My Go (4.00 / 1)
1a/b) I have a selfish, Virginia-centric PoV at this point: My biggest hope is for Judy Feder and Tom Perriello, and I most want to get rid of Virgil Goode and Frank Wolf.

On the Senate side, Jim Martin is the key to me. If we win his seat in GA, it's a major tectonic shift (imo).

2) No fears here. Candidates generally win and lose on the strength of their campaigns. Things are turning our way, elbow grease (and a little luck) determine the rest.

3) Forecast: Obama, > 350 EV. Senate: +9. House: +35-40.

Debbie Cook, Sam Bennett, Russ Warner, Annette Taddeo, Larry Joe Doherty, and Josh Zeitz are the 'wildcards' I'm hoping for the most.

My Call (0.00 / 0)
1) What's your biggest hope for

(a) Electing someone to the House?  And why, of course, if you still have the strength to put that into words.

Dan Seals in IL-10

(b) Getting rid of someone in the House?  And, of course, why.

Michelle Bachman

(2) What's your biggest fear of what we might not accomplish?  

I'd love to get rid of the Diaz-Balart's...but afraid it isn't going to happen.

(3) What's your forecast of how well we'll do? (And, don't forget to double up by voting in the poll as well.)
