i usually wait a day or two to vote in my own polls.
I usually wait until after the election. That way I know my prediction will be correct.

i think the GOP is going to steal a small edge. and it will usher in a sucktastic era of suck.
Only 43% of the voters want Tillis to represent them. Seven percent want Sean Haugh to represent them, and by logical extension, do not want either Hagan or Tillis to represent them.Hagan edges Tillis, 46%-43%, while Libertarian Sean Haugh has support from 7% likely voters, according to the poll.

Me too. Particularly clowns with an obscene amount of power and money at their disposal.I'm afraid of clowns.

I hope not. I haven't seen any evidence in my state of Republicans actually learning anything from prior losses

I'm pretty sure we'll get that sucktastic era of suck no matter who wins...but I'm like that...and I won't be back home in time to vote...
If I were a betting man, GoP takes it.
But who the hell knows?
It'll be close, but not enough.
Or not.
Right. Because things have been all sweetness and light with Humble Harry Reid running things in Washington.
. . . Now it's a motley collection of clowns in search of a circus.

I think he's been a lame duck for a while now......and that won't change even if the Dems rally and hold the Senate.

Oh, I'm certain after six years of cockblocking obstruction the G.O.Tea Party will be more than open to compromising with a Democratic president whose political capital is all spent who is just playing out the string until everyone's attention turns to Fall 2015 and the official start-up of the presidential race.A rally in Wisconsin on Tuesday night, a trip to Maine on Thursday and weekend appearances in Connecticut and Pennsylvania. Mr. Obama is making every attempt this week to show that all is not lost in the Democrats’ efforts to keep control of Congress and the statehouses they hold.
That’s the campaign’s public face. In private, Mr. Obama and his aides are mapping plans on how to deal with a Congress that has Republican majorities in both houses.
Some administration officials are looking for any advantage they can use to crack the wall of Republican opposition over the next two years. One hope is that Republicans who will be vulnerable two years from now might be open to compromise to help their chances at re-election. (The political map in 2016 looks as challenging for the Republicans as it does this year for Democrats.)
Senior officials tick off possible areas of compromise: trade deals, a corporate tax overhaul and infrastructure spending plan – possibly packaged together – and initiatives in education and research and development.
But will the Republicans give way on anything, especially after any big victory next week? Many are angry that Mr. Obama has gone over their heads by issuing executive orders on issues like tax policy and gay rights. Mr. Obama’s vow to do it again to grant a path to citizenship for immigrants living in the country illegally isn’t likely to foster bipartisan cooperation, at least right away.
Where's the option for "powermongers win, society loses?"
I think that should just be the "Don" option in every poll.

I've been betting that way every single election since 1970.Maybe Medievalist could program the polls to put in Don's vote automatically and save him the trouble.

What's that definition of insanity? Doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results?
http://thehill.com/blogs/ballot-box/senate-races/222582-dnc-chair-were-going-to-hold-the-senateDemocratic National Committee (DNC) Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-Fla.) predicted Sunday that her party will hold the Senate in Tuesday's midterms thanks to its "superior" ground games in key states.
"I think we're going to hold the Senate," Wasserman Schultz said during an interview with ABC's "This Week." "We have a ground game that I know [the GOP] would take over theirs any day of the week."
I doubt that she really believes that – it's her job to be a cheerleader, after all.

An interesting historical trend -- in the sixth year of every two term president since 1947, at the midterm election, the party of the incumbent President has lost an average of six senate seats.
