Predictions
I've been busy lately and haven't covered the elections that closely this year. So keep that in mind when reading these predictions. Anyway, I was tempted to say that Deval would pull off today's election. He's run a solid campaign. He's been positive. He looks like he really wants the job. But my head says it's going to be Baker by 2. The anger and frustration are out there, though not at the intensity level we saw when Scott Brown defeated Martha Coakley last January. But they're out there. ... Other predictions: Republicans win at least one additional statewide office (probably auditor) and a handful of legislative seats. Not sure about congressional seats. Republicans might get one.
