Yep. They've been promised victory by the old media and the media pollsters for so long that if they lose this time they will refuse to believe it and they will refuse to accept it. We'll see if they try to become violent. It's kind of good that we vote in cold weather in the Northeast.

If the Democrats folded up their tents and were no longer a threat, it would take about five minutes for the Republican Party to fracture into a Centrist/Liberal Party and a Conservative Party. The only thing that holds the Republicans together these days is the certain knowledge that the Democrats would be far, far worse.

You say that like it is a bad thing.

No man, Lincoln said, can choose slavery for himself, thus neither can he do so for another.

I have to respectfully disagree. Everyone who votes for Democrats vote for slavery for themselves, and for me. It is so ironic that we are able to vote ourselves into slavery by pulling that "D" lever, with them all the while claiming that the Republicans are the ones who want to steal your freedom.

The Republican base is extremely angry at the mainstream media.

The word is FURIOUS, Mr. Novak. FURIOUS. Bleed from the eyes furious.

Could definitely be Memphis. Harold Ford's aunt Ophelia recently won a TN state senate seat with at least 3 votes out of her 20-vote margin of victory cast by dead Memphisonians.

That would be fine. That's probably healthy. What passes for democrats now are the former communists and gramscists that joined the rat party in the 60s, attacked it in 1968, and took it over in 1972. They're frickin' bolsheviks is what they are, and they've been riding on the coattails of people who were loyal democrats by choice and tradition ever since. But they've gone too far. The parasite is trying too hard to kill the host, or as is more difficult for me to write, the host is too close to death. It's now or never, boys. Vote, vote, vote like you've never voted before and when you finish, keep on voting!

Not at all, not at all.

I think it would be wonderful if the parties realigned and there was a Center/Left coalition against the Conservatives. The we could have a debate centered on a reasonable point. It's impossible to debate moonbats when they are just not on the same planet.

But, first things first. First we have to drive a stake through the heart of the Democrat Party. It's foot-on-the-neck time, boys. Vote on Tuesday, and GOTV to make sure others do as well. If we can pull off gains in both Houses of Congress on Tuesday, and I think we can, that will be the end of the Democrat Party as a political force in this country.

Is that enough motivation for y'all?

I read that the DNC has approximately 7,000 lawyers standing by to challenge every poll they lose and to concoct stories of vote suppression and hacking.

And every time they do that, they hack a little bit away at the trunk of the tree of our Republic. The Democrats have no shame.

The amusing thing is that it is the Core DemocratTMs who are most likely to become discouraged and not vote, because they figure their votes are going to be stolen anyway. Yet another Own Goal by the Democrat Party.

LOL, so true, the Dems have been telling their base that their votes will not be counted by the evil Pubs since 2000 and that they will face voter suppression. Now that illusion may come back to bite them as their base stays home and gripes about The Man.

Talk about coming out of the closet... the MSM has definitely emerged this election cycle, not even trying to report or analyze the news, they try to make the news if it will benefit the democratic party. Too bad so many voters haven't woke up to that fact yet.

He missed St Louis, but I see that it will be rainy and cold on election day here. Even the dead Democrats won't come out when it's uncomfortable or inconvenient.

Let's see. It's Wednesday before Election Tuesday. The MSM knows that in order to get maximum exposure and effect, big stories should hit on Thursday.

I guess tomorrow will be their big surpise hit story. Probably like clockwork.

Personally, I wouldn't miss this election for anything!
Even if I died I'd vote! (Wait - can't vote if I'm dead - I'm not a Democrat!)
Anyway, I'd say we'll keep the House, but not by much (maybe REALLY close) and keep the Senate but a lesser margin than now.
The only reason I'd expect to lose a few seats in the Senate is because the Labor Unions are REALLY PUSHING for the Democrat candidates this year and the dumba** "sheep-dems" would vote for a tree-branch before they'd vote for a Republican!
They hate GW and Republicans so much that they're blinded by the fact that if they were in power they'd "cut and run", then they'd "run and run" trying to get away from the terrorists chasing them with swords!
