Putting on my Poli Sci/retired political consultant hat to offer my opinion about tomorrow ...

I think the Rs will win a narrow majority in the House. The next two years will be a clown show as they shut down the government and stage phony investigations. They'll get tossed out in 2024.

I think the Ds will retain the Senate majority, but it will be close, maybe 51-49.

FL will be a clean sweep for Rs. (1/x)

No one will get a majority in the GA Senate race. It will go to a December runoff, where Warnock will run a very close race.

My main concern is that we'll see the first attempts in places like GA, AZ, WI to use laws Rs passed the last two years to toss out the legitimate election results and install an R. Walker may lose in GA but the R legislature will declare him the victor anyway. AZ probably will be the state most at risk of a legislature ignoring the election to install a R. (2/x)

One of my political adages is, "The voters get the government they deserve." Karma is still paying us back for so many people sitting out 2016, and for failing to eliminate the electoral college. That's probably an impossible task, because it requires amending the Constitution, which 2/3 of the states would have to approve. It's our "original sin" and we're stuck with it. (3/x)

The good news is that, if Ds hold the Senate, we'll have a block on R excesses in the House. Rs will vote to impeach Biden, Harris, Garland, whomever but the Senate is under no obligation to take up impeachment charges.

So nothing much will get done the next two years, but in the end the Rs won't be able too much real damage other than to themselves. (4/x)

The real show will be watching Trump vs. DeSantis. It will be one heck of a bloodletting.

I suspect that, regardless of tomorrow's results, Biden will announce sometime in early 2023 that he won't seek election. He was happy in retirement. He only ran because he was disgusted by Trump's support of the white supremacists at Charlottesville. I think he'll be happy to return to retirement.

Okay, enough pontificating. (5/5)
