This is my prediction for this night. Having little time, I will explain more the diary, but the prediction is in.
These are the offices that the Democratic party can win this cycle (incluiding the races of 2013) for a total balance of the cycle.
These are the offices and state chambers that the Republicans can win.
Except for the senate and gubernatorial columns, the rest of columns are ordered by PVI (Partisan Voting Index), from most favourable to less favourable PVI for the expected winner, keeping in first positions the races of the cycle solved in 2013 (they are included only to help doing an overall ballance of the cycle.
The color code talks about the current party holding the office and about the history of the office during the cycle 2013-2014. Some offices or state chambers changed of hands in the last two years.
The statewide elected offices are named using the first letters of every word. ST, SA, SC are used as standard form for the state treasurer, state auditor and state comptroller.
Then, with these results, the net ballance of the cycle would be:
US Senate: -6 (+1-7)
Governors: +3 (+5-2)
US House: -10 (+2-12)
Lieutenant Governors elected with the governors: +2 (+3-1)
Other elected statewide offices: +3 (+7-4)
State Senate chambers: +2 (+3-1)
State House chambers: =0 (+0-0)
The cases of NJ-Sen, SC-LG and VA-StS that changed of hands twice in the cycle are counted both as gains and loses.
