Well 12 more states go to the polls today in an election year full of surprises. Now’s a good time to put in any of your last minute predictions as the polls close.
As for me, I’m predicting Bill Halter will take the biggest prize of the night, and the lion’s share of the media coverage going into Wednesday. Also Nikki Haley will get close to the 50% needed for a runoff, but come just shy and end up in a rematch with Gresham Barrett in a few weeks.
I’m also predicting Halter. I have no opinion on the SC goobernatorial race…my blip of sympathy for Haley over the “raghead” comment has faded (the Palin-taint was too much to overcome), so I don’t really give much of a damn about it. Same with most of the other races (although it will be fun to track whether Chickenlady or Ms Teabag 2010 is going up against Reid in November).
Predictions, I have none. Just hopes that Bill Halter gets the duke over Blanche [del]Lieberman[/del] Lincoln in AR and that some how, some way, Carly Fiorina goes down.
I think Carly Fiorina is going to get the GOP Senate nomination in California. I know that’s a pretty safe prediction based on the polls. I just wanted to go on record as saying it because I actually had a dream about that race last night. I’d read exactly one article about the race and I thought it was an odd topic for a dream.
Also, in California, I think Meg Whitman is going to get the gubernatorial nomination. Also not really a very risky position, given the polls, but at least the information didn’t come to me in a dream.
Also, fo the Democrats, it will be interesting to see if Jane Harman can hold onto her seat. She probably will, but…
I was just reading about Carly and her run for the senate last night. And I quote:
*I watched as the Lamb opened the first of the seven seals. Then I heard one of the seven living creatures say in a voice like thunder, “Come!” I looked, and there before me was a white horse! Its rider held a bow, and he was given a crown, and he rode out as a conqueror bent on Conquest.

Chris Matthews (MSNBC) just said that it looks like she’s won. I didn’t see the numbers so I can’t say if he’s right or not.
If she does win the primary, how the hell can the Republican Party support her in the general election without looking like loons? But how can they not support their party’s candidate?
First off, ten points will be taken from California, for its serious lack of judgment.
I can’t imagine that it’ll be a matter of supporting or not supporting O RLY for CA Repubs, especially if the Secretary of State’s office is as toothless there as it is here.
How much does it take to pose for the picture that hangs in the DMV? IMO, they’ll focus on the gubernatorial and senatorial races and let the chips fall where they may for SoS.
Of course, I would hope even Democrats have the political savvy to be able to take advantage of an escaped mental patient being anywhere near their opponents’ ticket.
Oh, I think the Democrats will at least try to hang her around their opponents necks if they can.
Even if they don’t, the media will do the job for them since they won’t be able to resist her antics and the ratings that will come with reporting them.
