As for my current and not-so-forever predictions for the 2006 Midterm Elections:

The Democrats will still pick up more seats in the House of Representatives (not much change from July) than most talking heads on TV seem to be saying. It will shake out about as follows:

Democrats: 223
Republicans: 211
Independents: 1

The Senate is still tougher for the Democrats to "take" but we will still manage to grab five or so seats:

Democrats: 51
Republicans: 49
Independents: 0 [Lieberman loses]

You probably have noticed that my brother, Richard from Connecticut, is still pondering his predictions. He has promised that he will provide his best guesses prior to November 15.
