Swami Richard asks that I correct/update his prediction(s) ...

I spoke again with Swami Richard from Connecticut on Friday evening (Swami Richard shown on the left -- the same slightly dated photo ... taken when I visited him while he and his wife were living in a library some time ago).

He sees November 7, 2006 as a "done deal" (his words) as regards the coming elections and asked that I correct/update my previous post.

His corrected/updated numbers are:

Senate:

Democrat 49 or 50
Republican 48 or 49
Independent 2

House of Representations:

Democrats 218
Republicans 216
Independent 1

Of course, you can see that he's pretty much on target with the polls showing the Democrats taking the House. As for the Senate ...? Too close to call, but a possible Democratic win (unexpected, according to the major polls).

Swami Richard from Connecticut has spoken!
