Rove Unconcerned About Possibility of Losing Congress

According to this article in Sunday's Washington Post, Karl Rove is predicting that, at worst, Republicans will lose only 8 to 10 seats in the House, and that Democrats would have to "run the table," in Senate races to pick up the necessary six seats -- a prospect the White House seems to regard as nearly inconceivable.

Why is Turd Blossom so confident? Is it the Republicans' history of rigging and stealing elections? I'm sure he's got something up his sleeve in that regard. But according to the Post's article, "The RNC is also planning another big get-out-the-vote drive in the final three days before the elections. Rove believes that many of the polls in individual House and Senate races understate what he expects to be a GOP advantage in turnout."

While I find it hard to believe that Republican voters are anywhere near as motivated to turn out as Democrats are, there is certainly a historical precedent for the Republican GOTV machine making a big difference in close elections. That makes it incumbent upon each and every one of us to not only vote ourselves, but also to get other likeminded people to vote, and vote Democrat. Our friends, our family, our neighbors. Make sure you're registered to vote, and let others know they need to register as well. It's going to take every vote, and it's up to us to make change happen.
