What Gives Me Hope...My personal predictions..

[Peacetrain]

There will be highs and lows when the election rolls around on Tuesday. We will not get everyone we have worked for in.. Likewise.. we will have surprises on seats we do take.

But what really gives me hope for the future.. even when you deal with a third party run at it like the Tea Party is.

The Hispanic base is growing.... Reid will retain his seat (the cell phone scenario is going to finally come home to roost with these pollsters)

Sarah Palin is about to be handed a dose of reality check in Alaska.. She is not the king maker she thinks she is. (Alaskans of all persuasions do not like Palin because she is a quitter.. she just up and left them high and dry)

Bringing in outsiders to turn a state on its side is going to backfire. Recruitment through the internet for a national election is wonderful..but likewise, you cannot recruit Montanans(as an example) to influence the Iowa vote.. People are getting rather po'd . ( Heard a fascinating discussion on MSNBC this morning on that very subject.. about the number to tweets etc that the tea party has over other parties.. They did not stop for a second and consider what that meant, that out-staters were trying to influence instate voters.. those bus tours only get so much mileage before resentments start to set in)

But most of all:

Money can't always buy and election... Brown will be Governor.

4. That cell phone thing is what makes me think all of these...

...predictions of a Democratic wipeout are utter bullshit.

8. Yes. I'm watching and waiting for the election to be over, so

we can all shift our concentration on stuff that actually makes things better. An awful lot of nervous energy gets used up at election time. Let's get to Wednesday and get started!
