I have been running my own informal, non-scientific poll for several months. I live in a Blue state and we lost my county to the donks on the presidential balolot, but picked up pubbies for state seats in 2004.

Everyone is pissed off and cynical, but those who voted for the GOP last time will do so again, even if they have to hold their noses.

No one I have spoken to will change their vote from last time, but some on both sides will stay home.

Reformed. I was very involved in the 1998 National elections which was also was the 6th year of Clinton's presidency. I volunteered for a Candidate who was close to Newt Gingrich, and the GOP in early September 1998 predicted boldly that they would win 20 to 30 House seats based on the Lewinsky scandal and other domestic issues. Now the Economy was strong at that point, but Clinton was under fire for lying to a Grand Jury and the Republicans thought would win big in the House. They overplayed their hand ended up losing 3 GOP seats and Newt Gingrich resigned. We were in shock. Charlie Cook is an able predictor but only works with polls not intangibles. He predicted doomsday for Bush in the Summer of 2004.
