I predict the Repubs keep both houses. They are better at getting out the vote, particularly amongst the Jesus Freaks.

I heard an interview on NPR from a republican rally this morning, and a lady was saying she was going to vote republican because "if you read the fine print on stem cell research, it is actually just human cloning".

You just can't fight that sort of ignorance with rational argument. The bible thumpers are listening to the voice from the pew going "VOTE VOTE VOTE" while the democrat base is out trying to find a now job since their last one was outsourced to China.

I lost all faith in America in 2004. Great country, but Rove has rallied the WalMart fools to his banner, and they are growing in number.

(John Kerry's botched joke about Bush didn't help either)
