Cheating and illegally open late polls can only make up about 2% in a race. Get out the vote (like in N.J. the last time Whitman ran and barely won when she was up by 6-8% in the polls) in the minority communities can make a 3-5% difference in a low turnout race in a state that has a lot of urban areas.

Does Missouri fit that profile? I don't know but my best guess is Talent better be up by 5% in the polls on election night if the turnout is moderate to low and the RATS are up to their old shenanigans.

First order to business is discharging Pickering, Owen, Estrada, Shedd, and McConnell nominations straight to the floor. No committee haggling or other nonsense. Straight to the floor.

Heck those Texas dead democrats have it down pat..... not only in alphabetical order, but sign the book with the same pen and in the same handwriting before they march in line back to the cemetery.....

"Judicial Nominees" is correct, sir.

(IMHO)

Nah! the schools are better in Texas...
In St Louis.. dead can vote multiple times and an alphbetical listing would show that up pretty fast. What Mossuri(sp) dems don't have in qualty(sp) is made up for in qauntity(sp).

I know Zogby continues to be highly regarded, but.....

We have to know this Zogby's innate loyalty would belong to his brother, Dr. James J. Zogby the founder and president of the Arab American Institute in Washington, DC., and to his own Islamic heritage. This is the first time Zogby's polling could have an impact in our war against his ethnic origin. Zogby the poller would have an interest in keeping the senate Democrat controlled.

I mention this, because today I heard an expert say the the seismic shift Zogby reports on the Carnahan and Wellstone races is inexplicable. He said nothing has happened, no change in either race , no logical explaination for this quick, dramatic uptick in Carnahan and Wellstone numbers since the last poll, when both were ahead. I'm wondering if the Zogby strategy isn't to lull Carnahan and Wellstone opponent voters into complacency so that they don't feel the urgent need to get out and vote on November 5.

Yes, absolutely! And then on to the rest. All judicial nominations go to the full Senate. Leahy can join Daschle cleaning the Senate lavatories with their own personal toothbrushes.

As a Missouri native, I can only agree with your assessment. Rest assured, the Democratic machines in St. Louis and Kansas City will ensure that every tombstone pulls the lever for Carnahan at least twice on election day and it wouldn't surprise me to see the Dems approach a "friendly" judge about keeping the polls open late.

Talent is running a strong race. But, as we've seen in NJ, the Dems will pull out all the stops to secure a victory and hang onto the Senate. I'll predict that Talent will win by two points--or less--if he's able to beat Carnaan on election day....

This year, instead of giving to the RNC, we gave to candidates we REALLY want to win. I don't know how much money helps, but it is a show of support. I urge anyone who can to send something to Jim Talent. To me, this race is the most important one right now!

And the last time Dims have worried about appearing partisan was . . . . ?

too true.

or to paraphrase..

If the dems appear to be highly partisan, but the lamestream press, fail to report it, does it really matter?

As one of the 535 Volusia County voters who put Bush over the edge, I call on all MS voters who may find it (come election day) a bit "inconvenient" to vote. Things come up, kids are sick, traffic is jammed.

The day, DRAG your friends to the polls, do what it takes, pay more for daycare, get soaked in the rain, take 2 hours off, get that voter ID ready NOW!

A few votes makes all the difference. MS voters, it is YOUR TURN to do it for us!

From the Works of Mark Twain; Early Tales & Sketches, Vol. 2 1864-1865, (Univ. of California Press, 1981), pp. 313-14.]

Territorial Enterprise, October 21-24, 1865

[portion of letter from San Francisco written October 19, 1865! ]

BOB ROACH'S PLAN FOR CIRCUMVENTING A DEMOCRAT Where did all these Democrats come from? They grow thicker and thicker and act more and more outrageously at each successive election. Now yesterday they had the presumption to elect S. H. Dwinelle to the Judgeship of the Fifteenth District Court, and not content with this, they were depraved enough to elect four out of the six Justices of the Peace! Oh, 'Enery Villiam, where is thy blush! Oh, Timothy Hooligan, where is thy shame! It's out. Democrats haven't got any.

But Union men staid away from the election - they either did that or else they came to the election and voted Democratic tickets - I think it was the latter, though the Flag will doubtless say it was the former. But these Democrats didn't stay away - you never catch a Democrat staying away from an election. The grand end and aim of his life is to vote or be voted for, and he accommodates to circumstances and does one just as cheerfully as he does the other. The Democracy of America left their native wilds in England and Connaught to come here and vote - and when a man, and especially a foreigner, who don't have any voting at home any more than an Arkansas man has ice-cream for dinner, comes three or four thousand miles to luxuriate in occasional voting, he isn't going to stay away from an election any more than the Arkansas man will leave the hotel table in "Orleans" until he has destroyed most of the ice cream.

The only man I ever knew who could counteract this passion on the part of Democrats for voting, was Robert Roach, carpenter of the steamer Aleck Scott, "plying to and from St. Louis to New Orleans and back," as her advertisement sometimes read. The Democrats generally came up as deck passengers from New Or leans, and the yellow fever used to snatch them right and left - eight or nine a day for the first six or eight hundred miles; consequently Roach would have a lot on hand to "plant" every time the boat landed to wood - "plant" was Roach's word.

One day as Roach was superintending a burial the Captain came up and said: "God bless my soul, Roach, what do you mean by shoving a corpse into a hole in the hill-side in this barbarous way, face down and its feet sticking out?"

"I always plant them foreign Democrats in that manner, sir, because, damn their souls, if you plant 'em any other way they'll dig out and vote the first time there's an election - but look at that fellow, now - you put 'em in head first and face down and the more they dig the deeper they'll go into the hill."

In my opinion, if we do not get Roach to superintend our cemeteries, enough Democrats will dig out at the next election to carry their entire ticket. It begins to look that way.

Such a prophet!

they will obstruct the takeover process so the Dims retain their committee chairs at least until January

Two words: recess appointments.
