Private March reporting, Ma'am! What an exciting election! The ad campaigns, I've never heard a more lively campaign in my life! Kilgore's campaign manager should never be taken lightly, no matter how it goes down today. But Truth is, I'm optimistic. I think we're going to do at least 5% better today than the polls show.
That's my prediction. But it's just a hunch. So no one miss out on voting if at all possible.

I'm factoring:
1. Local polls are lower-cost than national. Cheap polls don't factor in 'likely voters' as well.
2. Also, it's an odd-year. Not as 'important' as a presidential or senate race to some of our fair weathered friends.
3. I'm really impressed with Kilgore's campaign. He went for the juggular and is shamelessly right wing. It's always been my belief that street fighting is more effective for conservatives than staying 'above the fray'. It energizes your base. It gets peoples' attention. And people are more right wing than they realize. I'm skeptical that the polls are showing such a close race.
4. Polls veer left 4 times out of 5, as a rule.
Good weather is the only thing going for Kaine, but the other four factors will most likely outweigh it. Albeit, he had some pretty sharp attack ads. I could see through them, but can the average voter? I want to believe in my fellow Virginians. We are in the New Media Age. All my instincts say we will shock them.
But, we MUST VOTE. I hope no one takes too much heart from what I'm writing here. FRegards....
I believe Kilgore will win with 55% of the votes. (A little birdie told me that Dim turnout is already lower in the inner city polling places than in the suburbia.)
