On the eve of the election, I do not see gloom and doom. Here's why:

Democrats are turning out in high numbers for this mid-term election. That's now an established fact. Early voting is going our way. Republicans have shot their wad early and we continue to keep showing up to the polls and voting. Every day that passed was a day in our favor.

The lack of cell phone polling makes the establishment poll numbers skewed. That's a fact.

Young people are once again, bucking the conventional wisdom, and are actively participating in this election, establishing a very positive trend. And that's not good news for the GOP.

Latino voting is up this year again. The GOP attempt to suppress their votes has failed.

LBGT Americans are not thrilled with the GOP, but will be showing up overwhelmingly and voting Blue.

The GOP and their Tea Party crowd are at each other's throats.

Democrats have far better and longer established GOTV organizations on the ground.

Finally, I expect another "Reverse Bradley" effect, where a citizen will say one thing publicly and vote another way privately. They may tell a pollster that they are pissed off, and they may tell everyone around them they are voting Republican, but when they are alone, they may do just the opposite as reason prevails.

Americans have not forgotten who caused the economic mess. Americans are not in love with the Republican Party. It is just delusional to believe so.

We will still control the Senate and not by a slim majority either. And we may be able to still hold on to the House of Representatives.

We are the majority. Don't forget that.

Stop the with the gloom and doom and get out the vote where you can help.

The next 24 hours favor us. We are the majority party in America. Let's show them we are.
