You are absolutely correct. But now that the big polls are behind us, let's think back to what Rove was saying 3 years ago. He said this vote would come down to turnout. And he focused the B/C re-election effort on making sure that turnout would be in our favor. I remember a few months ago people complaining that the B/C campaign was spending too much on developing GOTV efforts and not enough on campaign advertising. Well, based on the full out onslought of negative media effort against Bush, I am convinced that money spent on B/C advertising is almost wasted. Instead, money dedicated to GOTV is the only way to counter our media. On 2 November, we will learn if the GOTV effort paid off. Given that Rove accurately predicted today 3 years ago, my money is going on his success at getting out the vote. We are essentially exactly where we were at this piont in 2000 poll-wise. The difference this year is that our voters will be going to the polls.
remember 2002 we were to loose control of house and senate we have learned alot from the unions and black churches our turnout is getting better(carl rove) theres has peaked
Good point. We are where Rove expected three years ago. Maybe he should have expected us to be up by just a bit more to save on our nerves.
