Be careful of predicting a Kaine or Corzine win
Last year during the Kentucky Senate Race, Jim Bunning was behind Dan Mongiardo for the entire night, until the last precincts cames in and he won! Also, remember the 2nd District Ohio Special Election between Paul Hackett and Jean Schmidt. Hackett was winning throughout the night until some precincts shut and the counting was delaying because of "humidity." Do not get arrogant and cocky!

3. My prediction:
Both Democrats will lose.

I got this bad, bad feeling.

10. Snap out of it
Look at the past elections, and park your naivete.

I may be whistling past the graveyard, but if you don't learn from history, you'll forever get screwed.

11. Not wise, not a guy,
just a Virginia voter who knows what these people can do, and how base they are.

Doesn't mean I'm not hoping.

12. I don't like the numbers from either state (NJ or VA)
Even if we somehow pull it off, it's obvious that half the state (either one) hasn't woken up to reality and are STILL living in a fog.

5. I refuse to predict anything.
Last year around this time I bought a bottle of champagne after someone I was talking to while precinct walking told me that the exit polls had Kerry up in Florida and Ohio.

I don't celebrate until its over.

7. I agree -- please don't jinx, and don't rule out chicanery. We...
could lose all three of these tonight. There is no exit polling.
