Has any of these polls out polled the African American vote?
Because several African American talk stations are talking non stop about the importance of this election and many callers are saying they are definitely voting this Tuesday or many have said they voted early. I just wonder if the media is taking this vote for granted that they will not vote.And that's one reason they think the rethugs will win easily.

1. The Hispanic stations turned out over 1 million marchers in Los Angeles in less than a week.
Those stations are the thing that ties the communities together.

2. I'm hoping the MSM and pollsters have underestimated black and Hispanic turnout
It'd be nice if Angle's racist ads were her undoing.

3. I've noticed something in my area
I frequently have the chance to speak to African-Americans on a daily basis and this is the period where I tell them that I'm a volunteer with the Democratic Party and ask them if they're voting. So far, in my small sample of maybe 30 A-As, every single one has told me they are voting. In the past, even in Pres. election years, some will say no, or ask where to vote. This year, none of that. Hope it makes a difference.
