President - Popular Vote
President - Electoral College
Senate
House
Anything else you want to predict

My predictions:
Obama: 51-43
Obama: 364-174
Congress: I need to look at the races closer tonight.

I think your presidential numbers look about right--maybe a tad less on the electoral for Obama, but easily over 300.

I'll say 58-42 in the Senate, with Al Franken being the one close Dem that loses.

House, around 260.

McCain: everywhere else-163
Pres pop. vote-56-43 Obama

The Senate ends up 57-43, with the Dems taking over seats in AK, OR, CO, NM, MN, and VA.

The House goes to the Dems, as well, looking only at the NYT map, 251-184.

Dems get up to 59 Senate seats (including Lieberman & Sanders)
Dems get up 260 House seats (24 pickups)
