thanks, I was wondering, because checking with real politics and it showed overall average: Cotton slightly ahead. We all know this race is way to close to call, I wanted to point out, it does depend on each day and what poll.

But much more is at stake here than in 2012. Will Obama be the ultimate lame duck with a GOP House and Senate? That's the question that everyone of both parties is eager to find out. The GOP Has every reason to be optimistic and forward thinking when such a huge prospective win is on the horizon.

denial is deep with this one.

You indeed can not predict voter turnout, but your argument isnt that, you said you lost because people didnt vote. That isnt true, you lost because your candidate put forth nothing to vote for.

Republicans didnt stay home, you added 2 million to your vote total. Its Democrats who stayed home, thats what the demographics say, thats what the loss of 4 million votes from 2008 says.

The one thing that Hawaii definitely needs is a Republican in local office. It's by far the most economically crass state in the country.

Neither side should count their chickens before they hatch. Both will be disappointed.
