1)Sarah Palin is not going to be elected to congress
2)Democrats will gain seats in the house and senate
3) Democrats will probably squeak to a victory in Florida and Texas governorship races.
4) Democrats will probably obtain a majority of full control in state legislatures and governorships.
5) Republicans are going to claim victory and say that the election was rigged and probably try another insurrection.
