>>Zolt the CNN story said that a big turnout was expected No really one expects that. Just bluster. I believe all that is manufactured just to try to get dispirited Dems to the polls. Every historical precedent (and all recent polling) is against a big Dem turnout (as opposed to a big Rep turnout). On Tuesday, between 36 percent and 38 percent of adults will vote, predicts Curtis Gans, director of the Committee for the Study of the American Electorate. That would be just below the 38.79 percent who voted in 1994. msnbc.com Experts believe voter turnout could be the lowest since 1942, when only 35.7 percent of eligible voters went to the polls. Democrats are also mindful of the last mid-term election in 1994, when low turnout among traditional party supporters helped Republicans seize control of Congress and elect Newt Gingrich House speaker. foxnews.com Remember, CNN is the Clinton News Network with a determined Fonda political slant. >>For the good guys of course. Blacks, as a group, haven't voted for the good guys since 1932. But the Dems do rely on them - remember the alleged rash of church burnings before the 1996 elections and Clinton lied and said it reminded him of black church burnings in AR? Well, the press later found out there had been none and the liar was caught again. USAToday ran a big article about it, detailing how the issue had been managed for Dem political gain. After the elections, of course.
