Yahoo! News - The voters might just pull some surprises Tuesday

Had Wellstone lived to hold his muscular wrestler's arms high in exuberant celebration on election night, perhaps his example might have emboldened others to follow their hearts rather than the polls. How sad it is to write this brief valedictory for this senator who never abandoned the fiery passions that first fueled his entry into politics.

But as we begin the hour-by-hour countdown to Election Day, there is still the gnawing suspicion that the voters will find a way to offer a definitive verdict. It would be easy to follow the conventional oddsmakers and predict that the new Congress will look pretty much like the old one -- a narrow Democratic margin in the Senate and a tiny GOP majority in the House. But whether the decisive thrust comes from the economy for the Democrats or the president's popularity for the Republicans, the nervous forecast here is for still yet-to-be-defined surprises on Nov. 5.

My prediction, narrow Democratic wins and court battles.
