THE BIG MO DONE SWUNG BACK TO THE DEMOCRATS

1. No such thing as MO.

Unless you are talking about the McCaskill/Tenant race.

Momentum? During the last week? I'd argue that this is just something that the talking heads talk about. It's not anything real.

Either that, or one could argue that the momentum is with the Democrats since they've had the issues, the advantages, and everything else for something like six months.

But there's no such thing as last minute momentum. It's ficticious.

2. I sure do hope you are right!!

I have my fingers (and everything else) crossed. I can't wait to vote tomorrow. I am going to have a hard time sleeping tonight.

4. Anyone Noticing A Pattern???

A couple weeks ago, supposedly booosh's 9/11 anniversary blitz was "swinging the momentum back to the Repugnicans"...then Foley. But in truth the "offensive" only made modest gains as the poll numbers remained mostly steady during that time...nudging up a point or two on this race and that one, but then Foley hit and not only did those numbers drop, but so did others that hadn't been affected before.

Last week, it was the Kerry "flap" and the corporate media was already trumpeting a "swing in "mo"" even before any polls were released. Yes, Kerry did have an affect, but not with those who already had made up their minds...which my hopes are equal enough in enough districts to make the difference in key races. It, along with the boogie man of "they'll raise your taxes" have, in what Kos notes, has the "regulars" who might have stayed home or the fence-leaners who just don't have the spine to vote conviction over party to "come home"...that's the tightening we're seeing, but we're still not seeing any real trend, just a ripple.

Any Repugnican "momentum" this election cycle has been a dead cat bounce!

The key number to remember is that Democrats are more motivated to vote this year and there are larger numbers of them than there were in previous elections...but they have to get to the polls. I'm glad we're getting this "Race is tightening" crap. Instead of demoralizing the people I talk to, it's just making us work harder. So many people I spoke with the other day...many who called themselves "independent" all couldn't wait to vote tomorrow and to "send a message"...and we know who that message is aimed at.

5. I'm feeling it. The energy is incredible.

My only questions is, if this one gets stolen, will we take that energy into the streets or bend over and take it again. It's obvious that the cabal cannot let this one get away from them. If they succeed, it won't be subtle or stealthy this time. The public reaction to a stolen election would be spontaneous and uncompromising. I only hope that the cynical manipulators of our democracy don't misread the mood in America and think we will not defend what's left of our constitution.

6. Keeping my fingers crossed!

I was at the McCaskill rally last night in St. Louis, Obama was there speaking. It was Superb!
