Newsweek’s top ten predictions are online. Read the article for Newsweek’s reasoning — the comments are mine — but here are the predictions.

1. Pelosi keeps the house — Dems lose some House seats in the midterm elections but keep their majority. I say probably yes.
2. GOP Ousts Reid — a Republican will take Harry Reid’s Senate seat. I think this is highly possible, and the Left should be finding a progressive challenger for the Dem primary. Who should be next majority leader, assuming Dems keep the majority?
3. GOP Blocks Immigration Reform — if “reform” doesn’t involve fences and cattle prods, they’re agin’ it. Although the real reason their agin’ it is they want to keep their undocumented household help.
4. California Stays Blue — Republican challengers for Senate seats will lose.
5. Palin Gets a Talk Show — Bravo, Lifetime, or Fox? I say Fox.
6. Florida Elects Sen. Crist — rightie challenges of Gov. Crist will backfire, and Crist will be elected to the Senate. We’ll see.
7. Senator Dodd Loses Connecticut Seat — maybe the Left ought to be looking for a primary challenger there also.
8. Obama Gets Second Court Pick — he’s bound to get another pick before 2012, anyway.
9. Obama Does Nada on Gay Rights — probably true.
10. Dems Steal Texas Governor’s Mansion — Houston Mayor Bill White will win the gubernatorial election by a nose. That would be sweet.
