UPDATE

I’m bumping this from yesterday since I will be at work most of the night. Go Vote!

END UPDATE

Mike from Mike’s America has lunch with TKO’s own Jim Geraghty where he discussed tomorrow’s election:

Here’s a recap of the discussion:

* First, many of the pundits who were writing last week that it is all over but the shouting for the GOP are working with old news. The latest polls show a trend favoring the GOP in what’s called a generic ballot (asking if the respondent will be voting for the GOP or DEM candidate) have shifted from DEMS with double digit advantage to half what they were a week ago. Each of the major polling organizations which reported this number over the past few days show the same trend.

* Second, John Kerry really stepped in the “macaca” with his “botched joke” about our troops last week and it caused many people who were upset about the conduct of the GOP to remember that things could be worse. MUCH worse.

* Third, The guilty and death by hanging verdict in Saddam Hussein’s trial reminds people why we went into Iraq and the verdict is clear progress. The fact that a major wave of violence did NOT break out after the verdict is also good news.

* Fourth, The much ballyhooed “netroots” campaign of online Democrat kooks like the Daily Kos Kommies have failed to assure a solid base of support for candidates like Ned Lamont in Connecticut where Joe Lieberman maintains a double digit lead and in Montana, where their handpicked favorite Jon Tester is slowly bleeding support.

When it comes to the House, Geraghty’s best guess on the outcome for control of the House of Representatives has us losing between 10 and 20 seats.

This is it folks. The moment of truth has arrived. Will the majority of Americans choose higher taxes? A cut and run policy? A party with no values? A party that will stifle this growing economy? A party that doesn’t really believe we are at war with terrorism? A party that voted against the Patriot Act that has protected us for years.

Or will they choose a party that will make sure the job is finished in Iraq and that our soldiers will not have died in vain. A party that has created a strong growing economy with millions of jobs created. A party that will make sure that marriage between a man and women is kept sacred. A party that will ensure we remain a strong and safe country….

Let’s hope the people choose wisely.
