Which single election race will be the biggest upset on November 7th?

I'll start:

Steele wins in Maryland.

I thought for a little bit that Steele might have a shot until i saw how little of the AA vote he was pulling in, now i dont think he has any real shot what so ever in this cycle. I would say Webb, but he really wouldnt be a suprise now so ill go with Jim Pederson. If the Democrats are going to ride a big wave, it will be huge. A seat like that would be very telling and the ultimate upset/surprise.

John Kyl losing in Arizona. A guy can hope, can't he?

Also, the Illinois 10th looks a lot closer than I thought. I was wondering why I was seeing ads on TV for the Democrat Dan Seals. I thought the incubant Republican, Mark Kirk, was popular and safe in his Republican district. But I just saw a poll on www.electoralcollege.com that puts Seals out in front. That would be awesome if true, I thought Kirk was safe.

Also, the polling data is looking good for the Dems. electoralcollege.com is predicting 230 seats for the Dems, which is a new high.

No way the biggest upset is going to be in a Senate race. Much more likely something in the house, like John Hall over Sue Kelly or Seals over Kirk.

Actually I get the bad feeling the big upset will be the Reps keep both the House and Senate

That wouldnt be that big of an upset. They have a rather large lead in both houses. Regardless of how people like you and the MSM play it, Gains of 4-5 and 10-14 are still very solid and a good move forward.

LOL man u are a blind dem if u think that is true

if the dems can't take back the House it is a complete failure. When your house speaker is talking about what suite she plans on having and everyone is talking about what they are going to do when/not if they win the house...losing is a disaster.

Well sorry if i dont take your opinion seriously at all. All you have been posting in the past 24 hours is tons of i hate democrat garbage but i was a democrat bs. So it doesnt shock me that your spouting some republican line that if they dont win a majority its a failure. The Republicans have a HUGE lead in the house, and with the way districts are now there are much less competitive races. Getting 14 out of that situation would be a big gain and a move in the right direction.
