Marek is up with interesting predictions, go check them out. The polls have just closed, so we will see in 2 hours or longer if I am right with my picks below or just full of shit as usual.
Locally, I see no seats changing hands, but House 96 will be far closer than anyone expected. Haslam will win, and so will Alexander, again with a much smaller margin than expected as the Carr/Tea Partiers skip the race.
The Amendments? 1 and 2 will FAIL, 3 and 4 will PASS, and the passing of 3 will be a tragedy for this state for the foreseeable future.
Predictions for the state House at the end of the night: 73 R, 26 D. The Senate will be awful, 28 R, 5 D with no Democratic seats outside Memphis or Nashville, rock bottom.
The surprise of the night? When all those good Republicans in TN-04 who voted for Jim Tracy turn on Scott DesJarlais and vote in Lenda Sherrell, with the thought that they will come back with Tracy in 2 years and beat her. Of course, it will be a Presidential year and more difficult to do, but.....
Nationally? I think we hold onto the US Senate, 51-49. Mark Pryor survives in Arkansas, Grimes loses in KY because she ran away from her President, Nunn wins in GA.
Well, we will see what happens; I am headed to THE WAREHOUSE for the re-election party for my Congressman, Steve Cohen.
Watch this space later in the week with my thoughts on the 2015 Mayor's race, which, if you haven't noticed, has already begun.
