Ron Silver just said that a lot of Democrats are staying quiet but going to vote for Bush, at which point Joe Scarborough asked if he had come to that conclusion on his own, because today he had heard whispers from several pollsters that they are finding a lot of people not willing to say that they are voting for Bush, but actually planning to do so.(not a verbatim quote, and wondering a bit how they actually can deduce that, but that's the gist of the statement.)

This is exactly what happened when Reagan kicked Carter's ass.

Still a lot of elements to play. How hard will the hurricane blip the economy? Debates can be tricky. Will terrorists succeed in an attack? I am not convinced that a successful attack here will boost the President, some will surely say he failed, perhaps its time to give someone else a chance.

But so far so good.
