Terry makes great predictions:

MR. RUSSERT: "Now, you said in The New York Times last week, 'Jeb Bush is gone.' You want to take those words back?"
MR. McAULIFFE: "Of course not. I’m very excited about what’s going on in Florida."
MR. RUSSERT: "He’s going to lose guaranteed?"
MR. McAULIFFE: "Yep. That is why the president was down there yesterday for his 13th visit. People in Florida are energized. They’ve already started the early voting. And if you look at Broward and Dade counties, there are lines already, huge lines, people—record vote coming out in Florida. It is a top race but so is Ron Kirk. We have many top races, but we are going to win Florida which is going to set us up, Tim, very nicely for 2004."

"Last year...the Democratic Party swept the country. And we’re going to do it again this year. The economy, education, prescription drugs, Social Security—those are Democratic issues and that’s what’s going to drive us to victory."

"The reason we are doing so well, Tim, is because of the domestic agenda."

"The Democrats are doing great all over the country...we’re going to win in Florida. I mean, it’s exciting. And our Senate candidates are up in Texas."

"Walter Mondale is going to win the race [in Minnesota]...we’re going to win."

"[Missouri's] Carnahan is up in the poll. Carnahan’s going to win."

"I think we’re going to win the House back. I’ve been traveling extensively. I think we’re going to knock off a lot of incumbents."

"I think in the Senate, we pick up one to three seats. That’s where all the polling data is today. We have great candidates and we’re going to net seats in the Senate."
