GOP to retain hold on Congress

So here's my prediction for tomorrow's national elections:

The Republican Party will maintain control of both houses of Congress by a slim 1 or 2 seat majority.

How do I know that?

A) I don't.

B) The national media are all saying the Democrats will take control of one or both houses. That means the opposite must be true.

C) If I want to make a national name for myself as a political prognosticator, I need to go against the convention wisdom.

Predicting the Democratic sweep tomorrow is like predicting the Yankees will win the World Series. Hmmm, that's what all the sports media were doing six weeks ago, and look how that turned out. As I said earlier, if media types were really good at prophecy, we'd be in Vegas right now or picking our own numbers on Powerball tickets.

So you heard it hear first, second, third or whatever.
