Come on man. Gallup is all over the place just to get this result. Look at the individual races and you see the R candidates still gaining or pulling away further from the D. Except for O’Donnell, which is too early to make a judgment, the trend is strong.

In response to all (not just Lazlo) on this board I’m as psyched about how well things seem to be headed as everyone else here. I know NDN is hyper-left but it is important to not get caught in the echo-chamber like the left does and just keep listening to those polls we agree with (which I know most show Republican momentum) and know all angles that are out there if for no other reason this might be a false but effective jump starter for the left. The overall numbers look great but if you look at many of the individual races the numbers are still very close if not outright Dem leads: (Bobby Bright (D) ahead of Martha Roby (R) Alabama CD 02; Andy Barr (R) Kentucky CD 06 down to Ben Chandler (D), etc, etc.)
Those from Ann Coulter to Fred Barnes and others have cautioned not to get too ebullient too soon.

I should’ve posted with a note to just keep working hard and not think it’s in the bag. Have every conservative you know get to the polls because things could tighten. Conservatives are notorious for agreeing with the issues but just not getting to the polls by Election Day (though I concede that’s probably not a problem this year). Enthusiasm gap or not the union thugs will force march their posse to the polls, registered Dems may complain but lose their nerve and come home to the party as Election Day approaches, etc. not to mention the “October Surprise” that the media has in their vault right now leading to a tightening in the numbers.

The point was that there are a lot of factors swirling around out there and to just not think this is in the bag.
