For all you worry warts out there, I have some very good news from a very, very high ranking GOP insider.
In an email just sent to me, the insider writes the following:
President wins tomorrow and we end up up 3 [in the House]. Senate up 1.
-------------------------------------------------
Well, not as high as I'd like in the House and Senate, but I'll take it!
Keep your chins up, and get out there and vote tomorrow!
Not to burst any bubbles -- but at 5 PM on election night in 2000 -- the RNC insiders were still predicting a large victory -- to include over 310 electoral votes. I know -- because I know the people there.
Right now -- Bush has a strong chance to win, but only by holding Florida. Ohio would be great -- but it is not essential. I we capture Florida -- we should have enough to win Iowa and Wisc.
We will not win PA.
Also -- the real big question here is how good is the 72 hour plan. It has been developed over 3.5 years. In addition, it was tested in the Congressional mid-terms with success. However, the dims have poured record money into their already battle tested GOTV machine.
Republicans will need to prove that they can mobilize numbers from far more difficult ranks. (Dems get extra voters in urban areas where hordes are registered. The proximity and the use of Union organizers make it easier for them to drive-up turn-out.)
The Republicans need to counter this -- and top it. That will not be an easy task. The good news is, they need only do it in a few states to win in the electorial college.
I will say this, however, if we get to over 130,000,000 voters, that cannot be good for an incumbent polling under 50%.
I haven't turned on the news once today, but have been reading Free Republic. I am thinking of turning the computer off also. This is sooo nerve-racking.
I see us winning NC (+1), losing Alaska (E), Losing Illinois (-1), winning South Dakota(E), winning Florida (+1) and winning GA (+2).
While Alaska can go either way, it is likely to go Dem, and the SD race will wholly depend upon how much reservation fraud they can create.
I'll have a can of beer either way:
Thanks for the scoop and encouragement jm.
I think (at least I'm hoping) they mean we gain three in the house and gain one in the Senate.
On the following scale, where does insider rank?

That's a DC bumper sticker waiting to happen, Coop. ;)
President wins tomorrow and we end up up in court until January
This "email" that your received from " a HIGH RANKING GOP Insider", I hope is not SPAM from the GOP...
Nah - not Alaska.

I can predict what the stock market will do with 100% certainty.
It will close at a level other than that which it opened at.
1) Endured a Supervisor of Elections DemoAD when notified his ballot was mailed
2) Not receiving his ballot
3) Actual voting location moved 3 times
He and his wife are determined to actually vote, have it counted, and not cause problems. The problems will be with whiners who cannot handle "election games" like this. The election officials and postal authorities should experience a "regime change"(BE REPLACED FOR INCOMPETENCE) by the locals later in 2005 when the dust settles.
BTW, the "foreign observers" tour guide is a Demo-ex-Senator who has a somewhat checkered past.
I imagined a much brighter outcome in the Senate. What the Hell is going on out there?
My GOP insider says all Dem senators will lose tomorrow, even the ones not up for re-election until 2006 and 2008! So, there!
Hey Ramcat...just thought you'd want to know that Seneca SC has a downtown location called Ramcat Alley! Best part of town - downtown with the eclectic shops and antique stores.

Your "insider" wouldn't be a member of DU by any chance, would he/she/it?
