Corey: My BOLD Predictions:

GOP picks-up AK: because of the stupidity of former United States Senator Mark Begich (D-AK) in splitting the vote, leading to Dunleavy getting into the AK Governor's Mansion easily.

Dems pick-up the following:
1.) MI (OPEN).

2.) NM (OPEN)

3.) OH (OPEN): Cordray will get dragged across the finish line by United States Senator Sherrod Brown (D-OH).

4.) IL: Big question is whether Pritzker will make it to 2020 assuming he doesn't get indicted by the Feds.

5.) ME (OPEN)

6.) KS (OPEN): barring something crazy.

TOSS-UPS:
1.) FL (OPEN): Will the Bradley Effect doom Gillum & can he overcome the backlash against Big City Mayors ?

2.) OK (OPEN): Edmondson has 4 statewide election victories in his belt as OK State AG & comes from a political dynasty, let's see if he can pull this off.

3.) OR: This is going down to the wire.

4.) NV (OPEN): I need to see strong evidence & trends that the NV Dems can finally break the long drought in taking back the NV Governor's Mansion.
