So, the time has come for me to make my Fearless Predictions for Election 2010 - the 'Empire' Strikes Back to (paraphrase Obama).  I made these choices about two weeks ago, so they are reflection of just that:  two weeks ago.  But, rather than make any changes to it to reflect recent polling trends, I'll leave it the same.  I will make two caveats though:  I am probably wrong on the Connecticut call.  McMahon seems to be dragged down by her WWE leadership more than I thought she would.  And, these calls are all assuming minimal, standard SEIU/ACORN election thievery, so I could be wrong in Washington (remember Gregoire and Rossi) and Illinois.  So, without further ado:
