The Republicans will gain ten seats (and a majority) in the Senate.
Senate wins will be scored by Chistine O'Donnell, Sharon Engle, Pat Toomey, and Dino Rossi.
The big upset will be Alvin Greene who will simultaneously cause President Obama added grief in the effort to present a coherent picture of accomplishment, but will also rid Karl Rove of a challenge to his authority as the de facto Republican quarterback, by easing Senator Jim DeMint out of the limelight and into the footnote in history level of relevancy.
The Democrats will have some other good news. We project Jerry Brown as the winner of the Californian governor's race and that Barbra Boxer will hold on to her seat in the Senate.
Wait! There's more: Assuming that the Republicans have a hole card that will deliver the impeachment of President Obama, then Joe Biden will be sworn in and will, during his time in office, have to contend with (according to our projections) Senators O'Donnell, Engle, and Greene, a few extra challenges such as a New York governor name Paladino, a Congress trying to repeal the Health Care Act approved by its predecessor, a Republican majority agenda that will deliver one humiliation after another to the Democratic occupant in the White House.
Last but certainly not the least of our predictions; since we believe that Jeb will become President, it's piece of cake to make a long-term prediction that when the coach (Karl Rove) signals the bullpen for Jeb to take the "frontrunner" mantle and for Sarah Palin to "hit the showers," at that point Sarah Palin will become a contestant on the next season of "Dancing with the Stars."
