You might be right, Boris. Some reports that rural turnout is not that heavy.

I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891 -
Higher than expected turnout in several states bodes well for the Democrats. This may not end up being such a disasterous night for them after all.Tutto nel mondo è burlaComment

Odd that we would expect a disasterous night for the Dems in Bush's first midterms.

Anyways poll after poll after poll, from New York times to CNN shows the republicans most favored. This is a going to be an absolute disaster for the left.

Well, since there are more registered Democrats nation-wide, a higher turnout usually means more Dems are voting overall. Doesn't actually mean anything as party affiliations are just labels and many vote for whom they want, rather than straight party line."Let us kill the English!

Paul Vallas, is the one I think you mean. And Ryan does have a real good chance. Chicago Dems screwed the downstate Dem gov candidate four years ago, and the downstaters remember it well. Turnout looks to be 65% downstate, 55% Cook Co(Chicago) and 60% in the collar counties. If the downstate Dems go Ryan, he should win. BTW, those are amazing numbers for an Illinois off year election. Back in 98 those numbers were about 10% less each.Originally posted by GePap
Can it be that Ryan (not that ryan.. i know so many people in Illinois who got Jim and George mixed up) will beat Blagoievich?

They're doing it again. CNN is calling Florida's Governor race for Bush, even though a part of the state is still voting."Let us kill the English! Their concept of individual rights could undermine the power of our beloved tyrants!"

Heh. Well, I am a registered Republican ... but that doesn't mean I'm going to automatically vote the the name next to the "R" on the ballot. I've got more sense than that and so do a good number of other people, I'd hope.Originally posted by Fez

Hmm... Northern Virginia voters against .5% sales tax plan for roads and Dulles Metro. Thought that had broad support.

Looks like the Democrats will make major pickups in the Governor races, but all the trends in the Senate and House "tossup" races point to a Republican "landslide" (If you only win 51-49, that's hardly the typical definition - but if you do it in ALL the races....)
