Primary prediction contest!
Voters are voting in Ohio, Indiana and North Carolina!
And, as always when actual ballots are being cast, we hold a primary prediction contest -- allowing Fixistas the chance to make their own calls about what will happen in various races around the country.
At stake? An official Fix t-shirt -- now in sizes that actually fit regular people!
In the comment sections below offer your order of finish (with percentages) in the following races:
* Ohio Senate (D): Lee Fisher vs Jennifer Brunner
* North Carolina Senate (D): Elaine Marshall vs Cal Cunningham vs Ken Lewis
* Indiana Senate (R): Dan Coats vs John Hostettler vs Marlin Stutzman
Polls close by 7 pm eastern in Indiana and 7:30 in North Carolina and Ohio so any entries submitted after 7 won't be eligible for the t-shirt.
Predict away!

My North Carolina and Indiana guesses are almost entirely at random. I'm really only in this to see how close I come on Ohio. Expect me to gloat excessively if my random guesses carry me to victory.

Marshall edges out Cunningham in NC as National Democrats scrample for spin. Stutzman loses to Coats as National Republicans trump DeMint. A sign of things to come?
