All right, folks. Guess I have to do it again around here and hand out the chill pills.
1) It is absolutely clear to me that we have won this. We will keep the Senate, and I'm 90% sure we keep the House. We'll probably gain a seat, maybe two in the Senate.
2) I know this from the turnout numbers, just as I did in 2004. The fact is, forget Indies. They don't vote in high numbers. It's all about the two parties, and who gets out their base.
We have done that today beyond my wildest expectations. The info we have from the Hotline on turnout is overwhelming, and in virtually every key state, we have exceeded Dem turnout by 2, 3, 4, or 6%.
As I predicted, we are seeing a Dem UNDERVOTE. They are underperforming, esp. in key states such as OH. However, they are underperforming far worse than even I dreamed. We are looking at 20% in Cuyahoga County! Brown and Strickland couldn't get elected dog catcher with that level of support.
SO HERE IS WHAT TO EXPECT: THE MEDIA IDIOTS HAVE THEIR TEMPLATES. THEY WILL BE VERY SLOW TO COME AROUND. IT WILL BE A LONG NIGHT, BECAUSE THEY WON'T BELIEVE THEIR EYES.
They may even "call" a few House races, maybe a Senate race, based on some ridiculously low "exit poll" and have to recant later. Be patient. The turnout numbers suggest we absolutely cannot lose.
That was what the contract on tradesport indicated. We will see tonight if it was a prediction or not. ;)
I don't pay any attention until there are actual votes. Good night.
Fox calls Maryland for Cardin
___
Not shocking..then again there is a record number of absentee ballads in MD this year.
How many of these races are ignoring absentee ballots?
I cannot tell you. Some of the folks on this thread do not like reality.
You better check out their analysis for yourself. There are some tender folks here.
Barone says FN will not rely on exit polls any more for projections. In other words...they are crap.
You afraid of the light?
Fox projects Chocola and Northup as losers

Yes but the calls are now using projections from actual results.
Sorry LS, but it looks like you might have had an off night this time around.
:-(((
"Yes but the calls are now using projections from actual results."
The Cardin-Steele call only had 1% reported. I think we all need to wait much longer to see the clear picture.
I guess he just didn't get enough of their vote. The "geniuses" in the media were suggesting that he might get 30% of that vote.
I can't even deal with this. I *need* to know the GOP will be there for our military and my husband. The only thing worst than Pelosi as Speaker is another Clinton in the White House.
I'm going to throw up.
Is Mr. Rove still cheery? Anyone know? Please have him call me if he has any knowledge which can cheer me up right now.
1% reported. Well that makes it rock solid then!

Loved that man. There was a poor little guy named "Radio Rich" who used to hang around the Pirate family. Prince took care of this fellow throughout his life ........ and no one really knew how much Bob had done for him.
Prince was a prince.
Thanks for the picture.
He did say one caveat is that the large GOP turnout are VOTES against the GOP!!
Unfortunately, I think your thread will go down in infamy as one of the worst predictions...
And supposedly Wisconsin just went dem with a 1% reporting and 11% deficit.
