Live from CNN's Blogomania at Tryst 11/07 05:00 PM CNN's setup is wild - lots of folks whose faces you vaguely recognize, then lots of folks whose blog you recognize. Avarosis is here - whatever you think of his blog, he's a true gentlemen. He and Krempasky and Jerome Armstrong are all sitting near each other. They may talk to the bloggers around 7ish. Every indicator I have says the GOP base turned out. Whether that's enough to hold the House isnt clear; it ought to mean some good news in the Senate races. We're going to see what happens when the GOP base turns out in a tough year; if nothing else, the Republicans have pretty much shot the 40-50-60 seat gain talk all to hell.
Turnout in Virginia is way up; but they didn't have a very contested race in 2004, they did this year. Some precincts were at 80 percent of 2005 shortly after noon. The good news for Allen is that the turnout is as big in Southwest as in the Northern D.C. suburbs.
An exciting night ahead of us...
"The good news for Allen is that the turnout is as big in Southwest as in the Northern D.C. suburbs."
And a few hours ago Major Garrett and Carl Cameron said turnout for Repubs. was not good and was bad news for Allen. Go figure.
I hope so. I'm optimistic, because it's better than being pessimistic.
The turn out is pretty high all over from what I've read.

If we hold the House, we will DEFINITELY hold the Senate--the Senate is the leading indicator, the House the lagging indicator.
And a few hours ago Major Garrett and Carl Cameron said turnout for Repubs. was not good and was bad news for Allen. Go figure.
...I can't 'go figure.' It makes no sense. Is Carl & Major becoming a dem backer or was it a case of them not having the data we have now?
That was right after schumer talked to them. carl is a dim and his wife is a dim.

Sheesh...doesn't that just make you nuts?
Sounds good. Let's hope more good news follows.
Doesn't Virginia have a big proposal on the ballot?
I want to hear from Michael Barone. No one has these races down like he does. I find him the most knowledgable of anyone of what goes on in Congressional races.

Marriage amendment.
Ditto.
yes, a constitutional amendment on marriage
Yes. Adding the definition of marriage as one-man-one-woman to the state constitution.
I should have clarified myself in that they sounded like the rest of the MSM.
I agree. I haven't felt any need to worry. It's possible I'm crazy, but I just haven't trusted the polls nor the media. If they were credible, I'd be more worried about the numbers.

I thought I heard yesterday that he predicted the Dems to take control.
