Since there is less than 72 hours before the first polls close, I felt that I needed to start posting my predictions. I will start with some of the Congressional races. Not only will I try to predict the winner, but pick the percentages as well.
Listed are the races to watch. I was going to add all, but it would just take too much time. So I will list the races to watch on Tuesday. So where we go!
Incumbent Party in bold.
