@Curmudgeon,
I left the following comment on the blog, but I'll repeat it and I sincerely
believe it to be the truth.
Someone (curmudgeon?) stated that the middle would come through for the
Reps. Why would they do that? What reason would they have to get off the
fence and side with the Reps?
hey, number 2, I don't think that will happen. If the Republicans win it will be
because those on the left have a habit of not following through, and showing
up on election day. Those in the middle are defined by the fact that they don't
have an issue that motivates them one way or another enough to commit to a
side. Rove's genuis has been in building a coalition of people who were
motivated to show up. Have some of those been alienated? Will they stay
home, in fewer numbers than the liberals who decide to sleep in?
