1. That's usually good for the 'D's', but we'll see.
I'm not going to get my hopes up only to have them dashed to the ground, trampled upon, then crapped on by Republicans. Nope. Not this time.

2. With all these predictions of high turn outs
It's either going to be a blood bath or a black eye. I haven't a clue.

4. My polling place was packed at 10 am.
I live in AZ in Pearce's district. I'm crossing my fingers. I would love nothing more than to see the Repubs here kicked to the curb...especially Pearce.

6. So what happened to the enthusiasm gap?
Just wondering aloud...

8. Perhaps the MSM Teafest......
..... has prompted the sane but apathetic to get out and vote.
