BREAKING NEWS - HUGE! From John Harwood, WSJ Senior

[Nimrod2005]

Washington political dude, covering the elections for CNBC, said:

He just spoke to GOP folks in on the ground, he said the reports FROM THE GOP people are that things are getting ugly for them, that Democratic turnout is WAY heavy in many of the places where they need to have a good showing.

I will add: If the news is bad for them for the House then it will be for sure for the Senate seats. Reminder that it is rare when the House changes hands and Senate doe NOT in that same year.

I can feel the wave, for a brief second, I thought the US map behind him turned ALL BLUE, but I was wrong, it was only 2/3 blue!!!

[budkin]

1. Good news but I won't feel relieved until it's official. nt

[Nimrod2005]

Same here, but this guy is connected with the GOP, and he is a clean

reporter...

[calimary]

45. Yeah, NO KIDDING! Did he say where he was hearing these things?

Which states? Which districts?

[Oleladylib]

2. I hope this is true and we don't get the election night surprise of

oh..look it that we were wrong...

[Arugula Latte]

18. I know. I was just recalling that sick feeling I felt in 2004

when excitement started turning into disgust and anger that we had been robbed ...

[Oleladylib]

22. Even in 2000 I remember well...Florida declared for Gore...

at 7:00 PM ...Bush's were having dinner in TX...then by 9:00 a sudden change occurred and Florida went to Bush...barf it did.

[Rambis]

33. I told my wife...

when we heard bush say "lot of votes to be counted in Florida" and he got that smirk we all know well. I said to my wife at 1:00am Iowa time he is going to steal this election and his brother will help.

Sure enough!

[MorningGlow]

20. Oh gods, that horrible feeling

When the numbers miraculously flip at the last minute--and the news anchors say, "Oh dear me look at that--how unusual. Oh well."

That and "exit polls were wrong". SINCE WHEN? Ever since this corrup cabal has been in control--what a coincidence. :sarcasm:

:scared:

Must...neutralize...negative...thoughts...x(

[Oleladylib]

3. John Harwood is very reputable!

[Nimrod2005]

7. I agree...He really is, and when he said it, he really wanted the viewers

to know that this is hard reporting news he is bringing...

[European Socialist]

4. Great-- because Harwood is a Repuke's Puke.

[emulatorloo]

39. but he has integrity n/t

[BootinUp]

5. I hate it when people get my hopes up and its 2+ hours to know jack!!!

DAYUM YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!'





:)

[Nimrod2005]

10. The man said he is speaking to puke operatives on the ground...

[kwolf68]

6. Ok ... I just got goosebumps

...must. not. get. happy....

2004 destroyed much of my thinking of our democracy creating someone mostly cynical about the process, but somewhere in there a little light of hope does exist ... it's why i voted today and its why I am looking in to see hwo things shape out.

This news is terrific, but im not breathing easy right now.

[Nimrod2005]

8. Keep the faith ---- God knows, I AM!!!

[DemoTex]

9. Time to tweak the Diebolds!

I hope KKKarl is enjoying his day.

[Cameron27]

11. CNN's

reporting that Nancy Pelosi & staff are debating whether to move to Hastert's bigger office(?), Rahm Emanuel sez this election will be historic, and republicans are feeling sad & dispirited.

[KansDem]

27. I will personally get down on my hands and knees and scrub Nancy's floors

...before she moves in, whichever office she chooses!

I don't know what prompted me to say that, but I'm in kind of a giddy mood right now!

PS--I would use environmentally-safe cleaners.

[Cameron27]

29. Hey,

I'll do the windows!

[Jane Austin]

30. I vote for TKO, the ORGANIC orange oil cleaner.

It's the only thing I'll use around my puppies.

[Kber]

37. I can sew the drapes. Organic cotton maybe?

[calimary]

46. I'll bring food!

But not until I allow myself to indulge in getting my hopes up.

[Clark2008]

12. He's the one that said not to count Ford out, yet - that the

ground game was MUCH different than the silly Mason-Dixon poll for Tennessee putting Porker 12 points over Ford.

[Nimrod2005]

13. Does that mean you trust him?

[Clark2008]

32. Keith Olbermann told me via email that Harwood was

an honest guy - unlike Harwood's collegues on the WSJ's editoral board, so, I'd say he had someone great vouch for him, yes.

Do I trust him? Ehhh... more than most, less than others.

[Fleshdancer]

40. I'm officially jealous of you

Keith emailed you??? x(

[Clark2008]

44. Yeah - actually several times.

I think he stopped emailing fans, though, when that nutty woman - KarmaBites - started cyber stalking him.

She ruined it for EVERYBODY, damnit.

:grr:

[Bernardo de La Paz]

14. WSJ is capitalist conservative. It's just a fear piece to motivate Republican voters.

WSJ is capitalist conservative Republican. It's just a fear piece to motivate Republican voters.

[Nimrod2005]

15. Or they are just sharing the information they have...Don't think it is to

trick people...This guy is not one of THEM evil people, not IMHO.

[carolinayellowdog]

16. Editorial vs. news

Hey, Your assessment of the WSJ applies to its editorial side, but the news operation has a good reputation for fairness. Not sure that Harwood is biased just because he works for them; seems fair in his media appearances.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

36. Perhaps I jumped the gun.

Thanks. Perhaps I jumped the gun. The WSJ news side does have some merit.

[civildisoBDence]

17. Niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice. Harwood is a straight shooter, and so is the WSJ.

They may have an agenda, but they also have WAY more integrity than FoxNews. The news comes first...

Newsprism

[spooky3]

35. WSJ news is very different from WSJ editorial page.

I agree with you re: news division, but not re: editorial writers.

[corkhead]

19. But No! It can't be. Our Great Leader is never wrong. Rapture me now!

[jenmito]

21. Mehlman on CNN preemptively saying exit polls skewed...

He said "Just ask "President" Gore, "Governor" someone who lost (I forget), and "President" Gore. Exit polls tend to be skewed in favor of Dems. Be prepared for a long night or differing results..." I remember the same slimey smile he had on his face in '04 when Kerry was winning according to all the exit polls and he said he just heard that the exit polls are wrong. He knew the fix was in. :eyes:

[Nimrod2005]

23. Fuck him, Gore won the numbers proved it over and over --- Exit

polls were NOT wrong for Gore!!!

[underpants]

25. Boy his jaw is gonna get real tired by the end of the night

[katty]

26. Ride the Blue Tsunami!

[ChiciB1]

28. Heard Of A HUGE Turn Out In MD!! Which Way Will That GO???

My hubby said they were saying it helps Steele?? I'm not watching this until later, but am hearing all kind of stuff from workers at my precinct!!!

Going back there for a while, came home to bring food for the family!

[democrank]

31. Hope you`re right

but I`m not celebrating just yet. Lived through too many Bush Team horror shows already.

[applegrove]

34. Here we go again..with overly optimistic early leaked polls. Making

Dems less motivated to vote..cause it is a done deal.

AAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

Don't trust anything the GOP says.

[file83]

51. Never underestimate your enemy. Good call.

:thumbsup:

[Tiggeroshii]

38. It looked bad for them, and they thought so too -on this day in 04.

I won't be content till I see the results.

[Yellowbird]

41. Pennsylvania: Screwed and Hacked

Nov. 7: An incorrect memory card was installed in dozens of voting machines across Central Pennsylvania. WGAL-TV's Susan Shapiro reports.

[kwolf68]

42. Would Central, PA hurt the Dems?

It's eastern and western PA where the Dems get most of their action...Central, PA is solid repuke...maybe the machines aren't fixed, maybe they are just shit.

[cobaindrain]

43. cross your fingers!

[Mr_Spock]

47. Like to hear positive news

Can't wait 'till the results start coming in to separate fact from fiction...

[Yellowbird]

48. Sounds like they need to:

Bring out their hacking machines to win this one.

AND DON'T THINK THEY WON'T.

[file83]

50. No shit - I can just see CNN/MSNBC announcing a Democrat Victory one minute...

...and the next minute they say, "Oh, well, apparently that was premature of us to say, some 'more votes' just came in and it looks like the Republicans have maintained their majority in both the House and Senate."

:puke: I would NOT be surprised one bit. :puke:

[populistdriven]

49. At my Repuke heavy FL district there was hardly anybody there at 6pm

Absolutely no line at all, 20 voting machines only 6 had voters in front of them.

In 2004 the line was around the block with the same number of machines!

:bounce:

Poll closes at 7 PM

My wife said it was the same this morning at 7:30

[Roland99]

52. Heard the same things in '04

I feel the Dems will be 2 seats shy in the Senate. :(

[Jeffersons Ghost]

53. K&R, i believe i've seen your name nearly every day at du. you are a reason we won

without your hard work every single day america would be fox-food right now... it was an honor posting beside such a fine patriot

[Nimrod2005]

54. We won we won we won!!! I worked the phones yesterday, my local

guy WON!!! Replaced a 26 year sitting puke.
