If my onservative readers are having trouble becoming irrationally exuberant about tomorrow's elections, Nate Silver of the NY Times suggests five reasons the polls may be underestimating the likely Republican tsunami. Let's be clear - he is identifying arguments, not advocating for them, and he has no doubt weighed these issues before forecasting a Republican pick-up of 53 seats in the House. Put another way, this is the short list of excuses pollsters will offer if Republcans shock the experts and gain 65 or 70 seats.
Still, your mileage may vary - some of these arguments may resonate more strongly with you than with grizzled professionals such as Larry Sabato, who predicts a Rep pick-up of 55 seats. My personal favorite is this:
5. Likely voter models could be calibrated to the 2006 and 2008 elections, which were unusually good for Democrats. In addition to wrongly excluding some Republican “unlikely voters” (see Point No. 2), it’s also conceivable that some likely voter models based on past voting histories are overrating the propensity of Democrats to vote. The reason could be that some of them are based on past voting history, and a common question is whether the voter had participated in the last two elections.
But the last two elections — 2006 and 2008 — were good ones for Democrats, one in which there was little if any “enthusiasm gap,” or it may even have favored Democrats. This is, in fact, quite atypical: Republicans usually do have a turnout advantage, especially in midterm elections. Their demographics are older and whiter, and whites aged 50 and up are the most reliable voters. If likely voter models are benchmarked to 2006 and 2008 patterns, therefore, they could underestimate the turnout gap, giving too much credit to Democrats who voted in 2006 or 2008 but who don’t ordinarily. Sean Trende at Real Clear Politics makes a nice version of this argument.
With anti-war fervor in 2006 and Barack Fever in 2008, Dems will have a lot of supporters scored by pollsters as "likely voters" because they showed up for the last two elections. Now we have an escalation in Afghanistan and Barack Fever seems to have broken, so those likely voters are likely to stay home come judgment day.
If the over-under is at 54 for the House, I say bet the over.

Janet has her Slurpee t-shirt and I have my Slurpee cup all ready for tomorrow night.
When I went to the 7-11 counter with the empty cup, the gal at the register peeks into it and says with quizzical eyes, "do you need some help?" No, no - I just want an empty cup. Still looking puzzled, she asks what I want it for and can she help me in any way? She Indian and her English is thickly accented, so speaking very slowly, I said: "Well, President Obama is always talking about the car in the ditch, and how folks are standing on the side of the road, fanning themselves and sippin' on a Slurpee. I want an empty cup for election night so that I can sip my cocktails from it."
Grinning, broadly, she says, "Oh. For election night! Okay - you can it for free."

Oh, on another comment thread that I was too busy for, their was quite a lot of back and forthing about Palin and her "reality show" as Karl Rove put it and some here agreed with.
I had seen Sarah address the subject quite strongly with Chris Wallace, but I was pressed for time and didn't chime in on that thread. Today I see Politico - who we all know just loves to bash Palin - has clarified the category the show is considered to be:
Politico goes on to say that Rove calling the series "a reality show" - with all the "Jersey Shore" trashiness that term carries with it today - smacks of the same classism that hovers behind many of the GOP establishment attacks on Palin.

And thanks for Zell-Time, Threadkiller. Some of my family left his part of northern Georgia ten years after the Recent Unpleasantness. It was Zell's home that Jane Fonda insulted in a speech to the UN in which,as I recall, she called the infant mortality rate in northern Georgia worse than many third world countries.
Well, Zell could go "own and own and own" and I wouldn't mind.

I think you are reading that one wrong from where I sit. More than a few loyal Republicans who were thinking they were picking between two Republicans will recoil at that bit of honesty ( playing to the Democrat voter crowd, you pick ). I think if it was tight, and she was already going to struggle to match poll results as a write in, then she just handed it to Joe Miller. The entitled can just keep their traps shut, which is not an endearing trait.
Posted by: Gmax | November 01, 2010 at 07:10 PM
I read today that Lisa's campaign manager said if she wins she definitely will caucus with the Republicans. i expect she gave them her word on that when they didn't strip her of her committee position. OTOH she lost and then ran again any way so what's her word worth?
SAN FRANCISCO -- A federal appeals court has indefinitely extended its freeze on a judge's order halting enforcement of the military's "don't ask, don't tell" policy. A three-judge panel of the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals on Monday granted the government's request for a stay while it challenges the trial court's ruling that the ban on openly gay service members is unconstitutional. The same panel imposed a temporary hold keeping "don't ask, don't tell" in place last week.

Posted by: centralcal | November 01, 2010 at 07:41 PM
C-cal,
I used the patches. They really didn't keep me from wanting a cigarette that much but I was afraid I'd fall over dead if I smoked one while wearing it. I did the 3 step program. I have been off the patch and completely nicotine free for 23 days. If I can do it, anyone can. I've been smoking since I was 16 and never thought I'd give them up. My husband doesn't smoke and my daughters don't smoke. My daughter made me hide from the grandkids. It just became easier to quit.
Posted by: Sue | November 01, 2010 at 07:50 PM
Sue, proud of you. How you do it doesn't matter.
For me, when I wanted a cigarette, I waited five minutes and the feeling usually went away. I didn't give them up; they just became further apart -- like 25+ years between smokes now.

J M. Hanes - It's fun to go back just a little further than you did. Eisenhower brought in narrow Republican majorities with him in 1952, lost them in 1954, again narrowly, and never got them back.
Truman lost Democratic majorities in 1946, got them back in 1948, and kept them in 1950,though he lost considerable ground.
Posted by: Jim Miller | November 01, 2010 at 08:20 PM

I remember when you were quitting. On a beach somewhere, if I recall. And like you, if I ever have to face the firing squad, I'll ask for that last smoke myself.
Posted by: Sue | November 01, 2010 at 08:23 PM
The patches, huh? Maybe, after the election I will give them a try. Are there any side effects I should be aware of? Many (and I do mean many) years ago all of my R.N. friends were trying to quit using the patch (no 3-step process then) and they complained of nightmares. I guess I could handle nightmares after Obama as President!!!!

If I ever face that firing squad, I intend to have that final smoke, that I gave up three years ago, but I will never light it.
I aim to bore them to death, waiting for that spontaneous combustion.
While posing bravely, of course.

C-cal,
The label warns of nightmares. Says to take it off at night if you experience them. I don't remember any. The only thing I noticed was a burning and itching for about 10 minutes after I put the patch on.

I got the gum, myself, but didn't use it. I fought it out with the idea that I'd chew the gum if I gave in. Sat in my office at around 3:00 the first day with 8 or 10 people having some sort of meeting and I just completely zoned out reading the super fine print of the folded-up medical paper in the gum box. And it was my meeting.
The first day is the hardest until the second day. Then about two weeks later is the hardest. Then about two months later. You never completely get over it, though.
Posted by: Extraneus | November 01, 2010 at 08:35 PM
Sue-
I smoked for 26 years. The trading floor breaks were the worst for me towards the end, 15 minutes, one cup of coffee, and three or four smokes.
My heart was doing flips in the middle of it. I could feel the shudders, and thought it was "nerves" and stress of the impending financial collapse I was watching.
I used Chantix, which ended the drinking (at the time) and stopped the satisfaction.
I do not recommend it for anyone.
Just keep finding something else to do. Think your way past "them".
You're doing great!
Keep it up!

Jane,
With the patch, it is a 10 week program. You start out with like 21mg for 6 weeks, then 14mg for 2 weeks then 7mg for 2 weeks. When I took my last patch off, I almost cried. It was like a crutch for me. As long as I had it on, I wouldn't smoke for fear of exploding. After I took it off, I could smoke, but was determined not to. I went the first week after the last patch with a spray bottle with water and lavendar oil. When I craved a cigarette, I sprayed myself down. I now spray myself once or twice a day. I have traded on craving for another...the smell of lavendar. ::grin::
