I didn't think we had the GOP on their backs in '00 or '04 - I thought we would win, but I didn't see it as a slam-dunk (you'll pardon the expression). And that was then, this is now - you can't discount the changes that have happened, domestically and internationally, since then.

As for: "Let's say, hypothetically, that you were being interviewed with Bill Kristol on Tuesday night and you know that democrats are ahead but close in a lot of races and Kristol goes into his Democrats are going to win by a mile routine. What do you say?"

What I would say is: "Whether the Democrats win by a mile or by a fraction of an inch is of no consequence - as long as they win. And that is now in the hands of the American people."

I would add (because I'm a bitch): "And while we're here, Bill, let me ask you how that PNAC plan of taking over the Middle East is going - you know, that thing where establishing democracy in Iraq is a cakewalk, and we move on from there? Have the Iraqis named that public square in Baghdad after Bush yet, just like you predicted they would -- what was it you said, within a year of the invasion? Hey, just for laughs, let's reminisce about that time your fellow PNACer, Wolfowitz, said this entire Iraq thing would cost less than one billion, tops! Man, was that off the mark, or what?"
