The Balance of Power - Time to vote. Ignore the polling an vote.

I am hopeful for Democratic victories myself.

Republicans are poised to take the Senate tomorrow.
And Democrats are terrified.
I’ve got hundreds of messages here, woe woe woe, what are we gonna do, Jim? It’s the end of the world!
Folks, first of all, nothing’s won until the votes are counted.
And second, political polls don’t measure reality. That’s not their purpose. Polls, especially the ones pushed relentlessly by agenda driven organizations aren’t designed to reflect reality, instead they exist to shape reality by doing exactly what they are doing – i.e. creating a self-fulfilling prophecy through manipulation of your perception.
The bottom line here is this: if you think you’re defeated, if those polls make you think you’re defeated, you are.
If those polls and your sense of defeat coupled to voter intimidation and deliberate attempts at disenfranchisement keep you home tomorrow, then they’ve done exactly what they were designed to do, hand the Senate to Republicans.
If you already think you’re defeated, you are.
Republicans will certainly hold the House tomorrow.  And they very well may take the Senate.
