Until all the 'bad news' started, I might have stayed home if the weather was cold and rainy that day -- thinking our position was strong. Now, I WILL vote.

Anyway, I thought the mantra of the left is: "It's the economy, stupid." People vote their pocketbooks.

That may be the only thing I would agree with the left on. People desparately want financial security. Currently, the economy is doing well, we're at full employment, and the DOW is on the verge of breaking 12,000. The economic environment certainly favors the Republicans. All the rest of the claptrap is background noise generated by the Dem's echo chamber -- the leftwing media.
