The last card the desperate Dem strategists can play is the overconfident GOP voter suppression card. By this I mean making a GOP sweep so likely in pre-election news and op/ed pieces that marginal GOP voters become overconfident of a win, and some drop off without actually voting. Notice all the big Left media outlets trumpeting the likelihood of a GOP triumph this week/this morning? They are trying to get the less motivated GOP voters to think their vote isn't as crucial - so maybe they won't vote after all. Don't be fooled.

Well I heard on the Weather Channel this morning that Reps turn out at about a 25% higher rate to vote when it is raining than the Dems. Suppose to be rain from Texas up thru the Midwest into Ill. today.

Maybe things balance out. Either way, going to be a long day and a longer night.

so 2 years ago the media was skewing the polls for Dems to suppress voter turnout and this year they're doing it for the Reps to suppress voter turnout.
