LifeNews.com is today predicting that Republicans will pick up nine seats in the Senate for a 50-50 split of the upper chamber of Congress.
Based on poling data, polling trends and the movement and momentum in the closing week of the campaigns, it appears the Senate will have a historic tie, which pro-abortion Vice President Joe Biden will be able to break.
GOP candidates will easily pick up seats in four states (Arkansas, Indiana, North Dakota, Wisconsin) and will win closer election victories in five more (Colorado, Illinois, Nevada, Pennsylvania and Washington). They will also hold Alaska.
They will relinquish the ability to gain control of the Senate from their pro-abortion counterparts because they will fail to win in West Virginia and California.
Arkansas, Indiana and North Dakota are the three Senate seats where there is no question pro-life advocates will pick up votes. In Arkansas, John Boozman will easily defeat pro-abortion Blanche Lincoln, pro-life advocate Dan Coats will return to the Senate in Indiana, and North Dakota will see pro-life John Hoeven take over another pro-abortion seat.
