Are we still expecting something "big" ?

I am. I'm expecting GOP turnout to knock this out of the park.

For one thing, there are 2.6 million Vietnam vets that will vote overwhelmingly for Bush. I expect the turnout to be much higher than the national average.

Then there are the evangelicals -- athe least 4 million -- who will turn out in much greater numbers that 2000.

These numbers cannot be measured in polls, because polls assume a consistent level of turnout.

Told ya so...

Bush at rally in Pennsylvania:
"After repeatedly calling Iraq the wrong war, and a diversion, Senator Kerry this week seemed shocked to learn that Iraq is a dangerous place, full of dangerous weapons..."
"If Senator Kerry had his way... Saddam Hussein would still be in power. He would control those all of those weapons and explosives and could share them with his terrorist friends. Now the senator is making wild charges about missing explosives, when his top foreign policy adviser admits, quote, 'We do not know the facts.' Think about that: The senator is denigrating the actions of our troops and commanders in the field without knowing the facts..."
"Our military is now investigating a number of possible scenarios, including that the explosives may have been moved before our troops even arrived at the site. This investigation is important and it's ongoing. And a political candidate who jumps to conclusions without knowing the facts is not a person you want as your commander in chief."
