Republican Surge In Senate?
We seem to be seeing a late-breaking trend towards Republicans, according to Rasmussen. Their daily review of races show momentum shifting back towards the GOP in some key contests:
Tennessee: Bob Corker pulling away from Harold Ford
Missouri: Dead heat between Jim Talent and Claire McCaskill; both have had slight leads in the last few polls
Virginia: James Webb has dropped his five-point lead over George Allen, and it's now a dead heat
Maryland: Michael Steele has pulled into a tie with Benjamin Cardin, despite the heavy Democratic Party registration advantage
Montana: Conrad Burns has come back from double-digit deficits to tie Jon Tester
These races will come down to voter turnout efforts. Republicans have claimed the momentum in these races, and an enthusiastic effort to get voters to the polls will get them elected. Control of the Senate remains in our hands -- but we have to get to work now.

" Isn't it even vaguely disturbing for the Democrats that they are being endorsed by terrorists all over the world?"
Orson Scott Card has written the most intelligent article about the WOT that I have ever read. I have forwarded it to several of my Democrat relatives. Orson Scott Card gets it.
Why does your vote matter?

The Democrats have big plans for the SCOTUS and they will filibuster while spitting in America's face, no doubt. Over at Stop the ACLU;
Casey, Webb, Ford & Tester Agree To Schumer Filibuster Pact
For those involved in GOP-GOTV, it is very important to know the rumors on John Paul Stevens:
For the past several weeks, there has been a rumor circulating among high-level officials in Washington, D.C., that a member of the U.S. Supreme Court has received grave medical news and will announce his or her retirement by year’s end.
Then the GOP-GOTV dynamite is just what would these “moderate democrat” Senator wannabes do if elected:
Schumer is reported to have assured Democrats that Bob Casey Jr. — despite running as a moderate Senate candidate — would be supportive of Democratic efforts to block constitutionalist judicial nominees. “There’s no worry on judges,” said Schumer. “And judges is the whole ball of wax.” Other supposedly centrist Democratic candidates including Harold Ford Jr. (Tenn.), Jon Tester (Mont.) and Jim Webb (Va.) have refused to rule out filibusters against judicial nominees.

ORSON SCOTT CARD has thoughts on the 2006 and 2008 elections:
I say this as a Democrat, for whom the Republican domination of government threatens many values that I hold to be important to America's role as a light among nations.
But there are no values that matter to me that will not be gravely endangered if we lose this war. And since the Democratic Party seems hellbent on losing it -- and in the most damaging possible way -- I have no choice but to advocate that my party be kept from getting its hands on the reins of national power, until it proves itself once again to be capable of recognizing our core national interests instead of its own temporary partisan advantages.
To all intents and purposes, when the Democratic Party jettisoned Joseph Lieberman over the issue of his support of this war, they kicked me out as well. The party of Harry Truman and Daniel Patrick Moynihan -- the party I joined back in the 1970s -- is dead. Of suicide.

A Look Inside That Pew Poll
Pew Research has published its crosstabs for the poll that shows the Republicans tightening up the race, which I linked last night. The internals deliver even more bad news to the Democrats, as significant leads in several demographic categories have been cut drastically or wiped out entirely.
The last Pew Research poll was taken in early October. In a month, the Democrats have lost non-minorities altogether. The gap among all whites went from +5 Democrats to +5 GOP, a ten-point swing. White females had supported Democrats by a 15-point margin and a majority (55-40), but now give the GOP a 2-point lead. The Democrats have also lost the middle class, a big problem in this election.
Households earning between $50K-$75K and $30K-$50K have both slipped to the GOP. The former switched from a 14-point margin for the Democrats to an eight-point Republican lead, while the latter has had an even more dramatic shift. Those earners had favored Democrats by 22 points, but now go Republican by 3. The Democrats even lost the tie they had with earners above $75K, and now trail there by seven. They did extend their margin for earners below $30K from 25 points to 30.
In the religious demographics, where the Democrats have tried mightily to find some traction, they also have problems. They held a thin lead (5 points) among all Protestants, but now trail by 9. Their ten-point lead among white mainline Protestants has dissipated into a tie. They lead among all Catholic, having lost three points off of an eight-point lead, but non-Hispanic Catholics now favor the GOP by 5 points, a ten-point shift.
Even in areas where Democrats maintained their leads, they have cause for some nail-biting. They lost part of their margin among self-described moderates, going from a whopping 44 points to 27. They had led in all regions of the country a month ago, but now have lost the South altogether in a 16-point shift, and a 26-point gap in the Northeast has narrowed to nine points -- a remarkable comeback for Republicans in a liberal stronghold. The GOP also cut the Democratic lead among urban voters from 32 points to 10.
The theme of this poll is the attack on Democratic gains in this election cycle. The GOP has rolled back the Democratic intrusion onto Republican demographics, which leaves the field looking similar to 2004 and 2002. This race may hold some very unpleasant surprises for the Democrats in the House races if these numbers hold up or continue to erode over the next 40 hours.

One things for sure; when this election is over, we need to apply the pressure on our elected representitives; they must do much better with:
1) Spending
2) Size of government
3) Protecting our borders
4) Stopping illegal immigration
5) Reverse McCain-Feingold
6) Locate, Prosecute, & lock -up the leakers

Kinsley: Democratic Platform Embarrassing
Michael Kinsley, no friend to the GOP, decided to take a look at the suddenly-scarce Nancy Pelosi's plan for governance if and when the Democrats take control of Congress. Kinsley expected a platform of reasonable competence, one he could promote -- apparently in the final hours of the midterm cycle. Instead, he found it to be a rehash of the worst Democratic stereoptypes, full of euphemisms for surrender and a slew of spending initiatives to break the federal budget: In fact, as Kinsley notes, the Democrats have no plans for anything other than their normal asset redistributions to special-interest groups and selected victim classes. They want small businesses to shoulder the cost of a 50% health-care tax, which they think will solve the health-care crisis. It's more likely to start a small-business crisis as firms collapse under the weight of the new costs...Older readers may recognize this formula. It's Vietnamization—the Nixon-Kissinger plan for extracting us from a previous mistake. But Vietnamization was not a plan for victory. It was a plan for what was called "peace with honor" and is now known as "defeat."
The Democrats offer defeat, retreat, and an economic collapse darned near complete. Even Kinsley can't put a good face on this fiasco. No wonder Nancy Pelosi has been hiding for the last week.Posted by Captain Ed at 04:59 AM | Comments (1)
Picture Yourself In This Chair
...at 40,000 feet, traveling at one and a half times the speed of sound. Now imagine that someone has painted the windows white – you are flying on instruments. Now imagine that not only do you have to be able to fly blind, by referencing these instruments, but that you also have to stare into that orange jack-o-lantern of a radar, and interpret a squiggle that will lead you to your target. Now imagine that in addition to not hitting the ground, or your wingman, and watching the squiggle, you also have to turn those switches on the right side panel to activate weapons systems, to overcome enemy countermeasures…without looking outside, as you hurtle through air at -40 degrees F, air so thin that should you lose pressure, you have about 4-6 seconds of consciousness before you black out and die.

rest.
READ THE WHOLE THING- one snippet: "WAR OF THE BUMPER STICKERS--I’ve said before that living near the People’s Republic of Santa Monica gives you an unparalleled opportunity to see legions of people who can put their entire moral philosophy into a 3x10” piece of adhesive vinyl, applied to several tons of steel, hurtling down an eight-lane superhighway at six or seven miles per hour. "
DONALD SENSING says that he's a single-issue voter: "There are a lot of serious issues facing this country, but compared to the Islamist threat, they are not close enough even to be seen as in second place."

This, from the blogs, sums it up fairly well for me:
My greatest concern is for the troops, who are in greater danger because of the political victory our enemies will claim tonight.
I don’t think every Democrat is in cahoots with Al Qaeda. But Al Qaeda made no secret of their support for Democrats in 2006.
So…they won a battle tonight, and they will be emboldened.
Pray for those who serve, that those who have sent them will not abandon them.
From Jim Geraghty:
Every two years, the country has a choice. Sometimes the country’s going to agree with you; sometimes they won’t. Sometimes you’ll be convinced you have fantastic arguments, and the other guy doesn’t know what he’s talking about. And yet sometimes they choose the other guy. Sometimes you lose. It stinks, but it happens.
What do you do? You mope. You drink. You swear a bit.
And then, after a little while, you get back up on the horse and try again.
