Expert Predictions...

I'm asking my cadre of Republican "experts" for their E-Day predictions. 

One such individual emailed me the following prediction: 

- Obama/McCain total %: Obama: 52% – McCain: 46% (Nader 1.3%, Barr. 0.7%)

- Obama/McCain electoral vote split: 364 Obama / 174 McCain

- # of total Senate seats picked up by Democrats (with list): 7 – VA, NM, CO, NH, OR, AK, NC (Coleman hangs on by a thread and Chambliss is forced into a Dec 2 run-off which he wins)

- # of total House seats picked up by Democrats (sans list): 35


Update:  I've gotten two more in, and it's not getting any prettier...

Obama/McCain total %: 52/44
Obama/McCain electoral vote split: 353/185
7 Democrat Senate seats picked up: Alaska, Colorado, New Hampshire, New Mexico, North Carolina, Oregon, Virginia
25 House seats picked up by Democrats

And...

Obama 53%, McCain 46%
Electoral:  Obama 364, McCain 164
7 Democrat seats picked up:  VA, NH, CO, NM, NC, OR, AK
22 House seats picked up
Obama wins FL, OH, VA, MO, and NC
