I am rating all 2008 elections as well as Giving my Opinion on Each race.


1. the Race For President

Hillary Clinton will not win the nomination for the democrats nor will Rudy Guliani for the Republicans. The winner will most likely be the winners of Iowa and failing that the winner of the early primaries. Neither Hillary or Guliani have the amount of support or the type of support to win the Iowa caucuses . Hillary lost a major advantage this week when the DNC stripped Michigan of it's 145 Delegates to the convention. The race in each party is between the "honest city slicker" (Barak Obama (Dem) and Mitt Romney (Rep)) and the "grass roots fighter for the middle class" (John Edwards (Dem) and Mike Huccabee (rep) here are my ratings:
Democrats
1.Obama
2.Edwards
3.Clinton

5. Dodd

November Prediction
Obama -(VP) Edwards 400
Romney- Kyl 138


2. The senate
the Republicans have already lost the senate. They have a chance for 1 pickup in Louisiana. The democrats have already Insured 1 pickup in VA. the Republican minority leader is only talking about warding off Blows and is worrying about his own seat in Kentucky. The democrats could potentially win a Veto Proof majority Here are My Ratings
