1. Ouch.... And what Wasserman said......

Anyways, still have many hours to go and we have to see how the independent voters break before we know the outcome.

2. It's being based off of *literally* the best time of the entire election...

...for Republicans. Early on Election Day. As the day goes on, the voters become younger and more Democratic. If Republicans WEREN'T doing well at this point, it would be a bloodbath for them.

I would say that his comments about FL will probably ring true, though, just because that state has been trending ... problematic ... for awhile now and even the early voting there did not look too good for us.

5. I was on RCP yesterday

I saw an article saying Gen X falling for the inflation BS. If we loose that demographic may have shifted against rason. I hope it was propaganda.

7. Ralston very concerned now over NV

As recently as this morning he was calling for a 1-2% win for us.
