Larry Sabato was on Fox & Friends Weekend , predicting Dems will get their clocks cleaned in 2014 by losing more House seats  as well 5 Senate seats and maybe more Senate seats if there's a big Republican wave.

Dems could lose some governorships in some surprises we don't expect.

If Dems keep one of their Southern Senate seats my guess is AK or NC. With the exceptions of AR and IL can't see them losing any Mansions.

Subbuteo predicts a lot of things. Of course he might actually be right, but then stopped clocks and so on.

Generally he tends to be on point,

Ex. Sabato correctly predicted both 2004 and 2006 as well as 2010.

He also correctly called every office that was up for 2013 race's too.

I agree with him on the losing seats thing though I doubt Democrats will lose the Senate, within the current political climate I only really see Dems losing four Senate seats: Montana, which could change if John Walsh becomes the incumbent after Baucus goes to China, South Dakota, which even if the Democrats lose may not be a Republican gain due to Larry Pressler, West Virginia, and Arkansas. Democrats may even pickup a couple seats, in Kentucky, Georgia if GOP nominates Paul Broun or Phil Gingrey, and Maine if Susan Collins retires, not to mention Larry Pressler would probably caucus with the Democrats.

Pundits like to predict the very worst case scenarios. Clearly in a neutral environment, we should lose 3 senate seats and pick up 3 governships. Not extending unemployment benefits is gonna hurt GOP chances in senate.

Walsh, Landrieu, Begich and Hagen will survive
Pryor and Wva won't.

He also predicted  that George Allen would win in 2006, wrongly.

The idea that anonymous posters in their teens and twenties think they know more and better than leading pundits and pollsters is laughable indeed.

2014 was worst than predicted. But most of seats were in solid GOP states.

2018, have Dems in GOP states, but states like MO and FL are mainstream states, and may be saving grace for Dems.

What do "mainstream" states mean?
