![]() A recent poll has shown the Democratic nominee, Jaime Harrison, tied with Sen. Lindsey Graham in South Carolina. However, I seriously doubt the likelihood that the election will be this close. I predict that Lindsey Graham will win rather easily.
Texas and Georgia are two other states that the Democrats have their eyes on in 2020. But they should remain safely in the GOP column, in my opinion. Some other states are not quite so certain: In Colorado, for instance, I predict that the Democratic nominee, John Hickenlooper, will ward off a fast-closing run by the incumbent, Cory Gardner. (I hope that I am wrong here.) North Carolina is more uncertain. I predict that whichever presidential candidate wins here, the senatorial candidate of the same party will win also. (Okay, that does not really nail it down; but it is the best that I can do.) In Montana, the Democrat, Steve Bullock (currently the governor), is making a strong challenge to the incumbent senator, Republican Steve Daines. But I expect Donald Trump to carry Montana, rather easily--regardless of whether he wins the general election or not. And a sitting senator almost never loses when the presidential candidate, of the same party, carries his state. (The paucity of ticket-splitting nowadays may have something to do with that.) So I expect Bullock to weather the storm, and pull out a victory here. Easily the most vulnerable sitting senator is Doug Jones (D-Ala). He should be defeated by his rival, Tommy Tuberville. (This election should not even be close.) Anyway, for what it is worth, these are my election-night predictions.

![]() Alabama has always had voter suppression; probably always will. But it's still sad to see a guy who doesn't even know what the voting rights Act is have such a tremendous lead (like 17 points) over the man who brought justice to the KKK Church bombers.

The only poll in Maine that I have seen shows Susan Collins down five percentage points, 49 percent to 44 percent. But even this is not a good sign for the incumbent. I really would like to see her gone--she is a RINO--but I am not at all sure that this is the way that I would want it done. (If she were primaried--successfully--that would be far preferable, in my opinion, to helping the Democrats seize control of the Senate majority.) Just my two cents' worth.

In fact she won re-election in 2008 by a 61-38 margin when Obama dominated in Maine. Winning by a little alone have been a danger sign, she's losing.
