Hold off on all this pessimism please... The Dem fraud machine pulled out a whopping 3000 votes from the reservations at the last minute in 2000. This time he has be pull almost 4 times that amount. This ain't going to be as easy. Don't believe that this is going to happen considering that Russert reported that Harry Reid has already lined up the votes to be the new Dim leader. Reid wouldn't be publicly telling anybody anything if this was still in play.
