Let the votes be counted, they decide the elections not the media.

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.

I did hear that Blackwell conceded.
Whatever, but I'm with Al Gore on this one: I'd really like to have all the votes counted before we start "calling" entire states based on less than 1% of the vote.
I miss his optimism and we need his expertise. Hoping he'll come back and ignore all the naysayers.
Just now catching up. What, did we lose 535-0?
BTW, I won't believe any exit poll call. They might be right, might be wrong, but I'll wait until I actually see COUNTED VOTES.
What was wrong with the fat guy? I switched over to FNS and forgot to switch back before it ended.
Hey, good to have you back!!

This should be fun.
It was a weird one. He ended up having LUNG CANCER.
So I'm now back on FNC and more disgusted with them! How come they're calling races with 1% to 14% for Dems, but NOT calling GOP seats with 90% in? :-(
Santorum Concedes
FBI on the case of "just-now-found-absentee-ballots" in Indiana.
There has to be....FNC are calling wins waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too early for the Dems.
You think Dewine can still pull this out?
20-25 House seats predicted by Northeastern GOP because the 12 term incumbant Nancy Johnson just lost in Conneticut.
