Gallup: Republicans Appear Poised to Win Big on Tuesday.
FiveThirtyEight: 5 Reasons Republicans Could Do Even Better Than Expected.
MSNBC: Poll suggests Dems will face 'hurricane winds'.
Many of the people voting Republican will be voting not affirmatively for the GOP's vision, but as a repudiation of Obama's (socialist, anti-American, secret Muslim) agenda. Many of the people voting Democrat will be voting not affirmatively for the Democrats' recent record, but as a defensive measure to try to keep the GOP out of power.
This is what we've come to: A nation voting against what we perceive to be the worse of two terrible options.
Or maybe that's what we've always been.
But it feels terrible and futile to me in a way it hasn't quite before.
