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.
Oh man... now Allen is down in VA. I'm thinking LS better get his facts straight before making predictions. Not a single good word yet from the results coming in.
I am getting nervous again.
Put this in perspective. In the sixth years of a presidency the EXPECTATION is the out-of-power party romps {I think the average is 40 seats}.
If we keep the House it will be a historic accomplishment!
bookmarked!
One word: whisky.
:^)
Commonwealth of Virgina's website is currently reporting a statistical dead heat between Allen and Webb (27.55% reporting).
I am starting to.
LOL!
Put a "D" at the end of your screen name. You are speaking out of your mind tonight. I seriously wish you were correct........ but you are not.

That's closing some. BTW, Barrow ahead of Marshall in GA. That's a pickup.

I think LS will be eating major crow... nothing is swinging our way.
Is that a command, dear Cedric?
