Excellent post, thank you. Hope all soul, as other words have so much relevance today, these words of president Lincolns also hold sway on Nov. 2 ..

You never dealt fairly by us in relation to this affair. When it occurred, some important State elections were near at hand, and you were in evident glee with the belief that, by charging the blame upon us, you could get an advantage of us in those elections. The elections came, and your expectations were not quite fulfilled. Every [Democrat] Republican man knew that, as to himself at least, your charge was a slander, and he was not much inclined by it to cast his vote in your favor ... In your political contests among yourselves, each faction charges the other with sympathy with Black Republicanism; and then, to give point to the charge, defines Black Republicanism to simply be insurrection, blood and thunder among the slaves.

In light of "Sept. 13-19, 46% Democratic, 45% Republican split in registered voters' preferences
.. it's [ONLY] the ENTHUSIASM gap", imo there is no valid or sensible reason why it should not.

On a quick glance the charts in here indicate a slight improvement toward the Democrats ..

In October, Gallup is reporting three estimates of voter preferences for the midterm congressional elections, adding two turnout scenarios among likely voters to the registered voter preferences it has been publishing since March. Explore these measures alongside other key indicators relevant to the 2010 vote.

ps: your post was ACE! BEAUTY! STREWTH, and I sure relate to your "I didn't start out wanting to post the whole thing .. I got carried away."

.. chuckle .. hope the USA day has been a beautiful as ours is, overseeing blue sky coverlet .. gentle breeze .. 12:20pm.
