I would add a #6: While the GOP does have a GOTV effort, what we can't measure---because it's freakin' non-existant---is the Dems' GOTV effort.

Don't believe this for a moment. Democrats invented the modern turnout strategy, from "knock and drag" in black neighborhoods to union phone trees to specialized commercials on hand-held computers for specific neighborhoods. Oh, they'll turn their people out all right. The only question is will Republicans do it even better, as they did in 2004?

Zack, they USED to have it. But not since 2002 has it been effective. I'm telling you, I'm on the ground in OH and signs of Dem effort are entirely missing. No walkers, no door-knockers. In entirely Dem neighborhoods, no bumperstickers or yard signs. Mark my words: they will underperform. I don't know how much, but at least 1% off their "averages."
