The Pindell Report, Politicker.com's political and campaign forecast, has released its final projections for Election Day. Using polling, historical and demographic trends, tracking campaign visits and spending, The Pindell Report ranks races in terms of their competitiveness and their status as either a toss-up or leaning or likely voting in a particular way.
In Colorado, The Pindell Report's final breakdown is as follows:
PRESIDENT:
Likely Democratic. Ever since Democrats held their national convention here the presidential race has become increasingly less competitive.
U.S. SENATE:
Likely Democratic. The National Republican Senatorial Committee has given up on their own Bob Schaffer. Enough said. Democrat Mark Udall is well on his way to filling the open seat of the retiring Republican senator, Wayne Allard.
U.S. HOUSE:
4th Congressional District. Leans Democratic. Republican incumbent Marilyn Musgrave's brand of social conservatism was never a good fit for this district, and Democrats are finally poised to knock her off in Tuesday with Betsy Markey as the nominee.
NATIONAL OUTLOOK:
The Pindell Report estimates Barack Obama will become the next president receiving at least 353 electoral votes tomorrow compared to John McCain's 174 electoral votes. The only toss-up state is Missouri. For the U.S. Senate, Pindell predicts that Democrats will pick up either 7 or 8 seats and will fall short of the 60 seats they need to end a filibuster. The only Senate race viewed as too close to call is in Minnesota. In the House, Democrats are poised to pick up at least 21 seats with 6 seats viewed as toss ups.
PINDELL REPORT'S COMPLETE FORECAST:
U.S. Senate | U.S. House | Governor | Presidential Swing States
