1. I tend to believe Quinnipiac

when it comes to state polls, they're much more reliable than their national ones. It's all going to come down to turnout which makes me nervous as Democrats are woefully bad at that during off-year elections.

2. The fact that the President is making an appearance to campain for McAuliffe implies the race

is close.

4. This is the only race around. It would be shocking if he was not going to campaign for him once.

3. Call me when there is a poll where they are within the MOE.

A rule of thumb: when a candidate has been ahead for months with no poll at all showing his opponent ahead, this candidate will win.

This was the case in MA again and again since 2010, this was the case in the presidential race, and it will be the case here as well.

5. I don't even live in VA and I'm a nervous wreck about this election.

I hope that McAuliffe can pull it off. Poor VA if the Cooch wins.

6. Sarvis' role is key here...

If a good chunk of his supporters decide to go with Kookinelli it's going to tighten. Combine that with the potential election day shenanigans the GOP are capable of....a worrying situation. We need to finish this deal in Virginia and stay on top of things. I presume McAuliffe by 4 percentage points.

7. Well,

I'll be voting against the Cooch. Looking forward to it.
