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.
Why?
Bob Prince was great.
Allow the Pit Yorkie to piddle for a spell. The negativity is nauseating.
What was the tradesports prediction? I'm just joining the world again after a day at my childrens' school.
The polls weren't even closed yet!
I used to live in California and I don't think the election news affects turnout significantly, because people don't listen to the election news until after they vote. But it still irritates me greatly the way the MSM tries to manipulate turnout. The good news is that the conservative Blogosphere is replacing the MSM as the new source of news and commentary for Republicans.
I've been concentrating like I never have before on an actual pickup for us this election just to get a replay of this ....
The dims would truly 'flip their lids' if we picked up even one seat! It would be a real hoot watching DU totally implode.

tradesports was basically predicting a Dem House and Senate by large numbers.
Pubbies keep the Senate, Rats win the House.
Thank you for your service brother.
Is that a prediction or for sure?
oops my error.

He was a good friend of my father's back in the 50's. He used to come to the club and perform bizarre dives off the high dive.......... after a few drinks of course.
At any rate, nothing I do can affect the outcome, so I am out of here until mid-morning tomorrow.
Fox calls Maryland for Cardin
Unreal!

I have to believe in LS because the large turnout he keeps talking about is true, then where are all the votes?
The media is calling some races too soon.
So much for black solidarity.
