Predictions

Everyone seems to be making numeric predictions, so here we go:

Sebelius 57% (based on SUSA polling)
Morrison 54% (below SUSA's last poll, negative ad campaigns will make people think twice)
Moore 60% (Chuck who?)
Boyda 51% (This race will go down to the wire)
Weiss 53% (McDonald did well in the primary, add in Democratic votes and Weiss wins)
Wempe 52% (an experienced local politician with solid fundraising)

And anyone who thinks these numbers mean anything is crazy. Go vote and prove me wrong.
