Webb looked like he was going to come up just short and just jumped out to a 3,000 vote lead with 99% of precincts reporting.

When those numbers came through, Webb's % chances jumped from the low teens to the high 80's on Intrade. This is for real.

We're going to take the Senate!!!! Okay, technically if McCaskill wins, we're going to take the Senate!!! I'd written that possibility off a couple of hours ago and Missouri is a coin toss, so I'm pumped again. Read More

Robocalls will be a footnote in this election. Particularly the ones that identify the caller (albeit at the end of the call.)

If I had 5 messages for the American people, Robocalls wouldn't make the list. So why are we focusing almost exclusively on them here?

Yes, THAT Tuesday, the one in 4 days. It came as a shock to me, too.

I want to know who to call. I want to know what to say. I want to know the experiences of those who've done it before. I want to know we're going to win. I want to know what our message is.

Judging from the current recommended list, I'm the only one. But I know that's not so. Read More

Now that we've heard from Mama Bear and Papa Bear, let's get it just right and join Baby Bear.

Republicans have repeatedly demonstrated over the last 6 years that they have no interest in holding fair elections. They only have an interest in winning 'elections.'

They do it by stripping likely Democratic voters from election rolls. They do it by Gerrymandering. They do it by undersupplying Democratic precincts with voting machines (creating long lines.) They do it by sending out disinformation to likely Democratic voters. They do it by paralyzing Democratic GOTV efforts with call-and-hangup campaigns (as documented again on Olbermann last night.) They do it by filing lawsuits to prevent votes from being counted.

Can anyone in their right mind discount the possibility that they would also do it by rigging the software on electronic voting machines? Read More

With less than 2 weeks to go before the 2006 election, we have an excellent idea of where things stand with respect to control of the senate in January. Whichever party wins 2 out of 3 of the races in Missouri, Tennessee and Virginia is an overwhelming favorite to control the senate.

Unfortunately, that's bad news for us. Missouri is a coin toss right now and Republicans lead in Tennessee and Virginia. We need a strong push to get our 3 soldiers up that hill. Read More
