I hope the latest polls are right.

Given the economic headwinds, we're not in a bad place. I'm not insensitive to high prices but they'll pass. If we lose our way of life we have lost everything. There are people who would vote for Charles Manson if they though he could provide $3.00 a gallon gas.

There's a section of the electorate that won't vote D no matter how well Biden does. There's a section that will vote D no matter how badly things are going for Biden. The key is for us to get more of those who lean or are like us to vote then the Rs can do for their side

The overturning of Roe v. Wade might have made this election a good one. One that historically would have benefited the party out of power.

We'll have a good day on Tuesday, but expect a lot of recounts, and recounts, and recounts.

Kristol, very informed hoper, and cross-over voter for Democrats! this morning:

"Hey, don't want to interrupt my Democratic friends when they're engaged in their favorite sports of The Gnashing of Teeth and The Tearing of Garments, but it looks as if the Democratic Party will have the best midterm performance by a party in the White House in two decades."

What did they say? I only saw a small amount of polls released today on RCP. The only good news I saw was this one:

2022 Generic Congressional Vote - NBC News

Republicans 47, Democrats 48 Democrats +1
