I Really Believe All The MSM "Doomed Ds" Crap Will GOTV 4 Ds
Every D I know is planning on voting tomorrow. Everyone of them. That includes people for whom the midterms have never, ever been a big deal.

On the other hand, my brother - who is a lifelong R - has been talking third party candidates all year. He is dissatisfied with the Rs, and says he will vote R only if there isn't a third-party choice.

Sound enthusiastic? I didn't think so either.

Predictions are that the turnout will be huge, and huge turnout always, always favors the Ds. Unless lots of Ds and Indies have decided to go R this time, I don't see an R landslide happening. Not at all.

1. I've missed a few mid-terms
I started to get sick last night and slept most of the day. I still feel sick but, I will vote tomorrow if I have to crawl there on my belly like a snake. Only death will stop me. And that ain't happening - not this week anyway.

4. I too dont always go out for midterms. I sure did this time, early.
If all those pollsters and prognosticators are relying on the "enthusiasm gap" they may be in for a surprise.
Enthusiasm meet determination.

13. Feeling much better, thanks
Maybe it was just a 24 hour bug. Not going to be a problem to Vote.

Know why the Democrat's color is Blue - Loyalty
...........Republican's color is Red - Danger

I just blurted that out to the Mayor at the polling station in NJ when I lived there and he said, he liked that a lot and was going to use it. :rofl:

2. My neighbors are disgusted with the media and that includes the
Rs. Someone asked where we could go for truthful news. I couldn't give an answer. My local station is okay but they're affiliates so not much change there. The media is looking at many eggs on their faces. Except for Florida I feel good for the nation.

6. And when it happens?
We'll get the doubly disgusting spectacle of the talking chuckleheads patting themselves on the back, and congratulating each other for working so effectively to get Dems to turn out for their own.

8. The media is on a full court press for a Republican "bloodbath" at the polls.
Sad thing is that even if the Republicans do pick up the House, they will most likely do so by a thin margin yet the media will spend the next few weeks discussing the the fall of the Democratic Party.

Failing that, if the Dems hold on, all of a sudden the MSM will take an interest in the right-wing "voter fraud" meme that pops up during every election.

11. I'm all for science, but this year's polls are hardly scientific.
How are polls that don't attempt to reach cellphone users and who over sample Rs in their models scientific?
