Moving from a swing state (Florida) to a deep red state (Alabama) makes a huge difference. In Florida is was like a five ring circus for months with all the campaigning. Here, it's 2 days before election day and there has barely been a sign that one is coming up.

On Tuesday I'll go out and vote. It will be like putting a drop of blue in a red ocean.

We keep getting phone call after phone call, pollsters wanting to know how we intend to vote. I'm about to yank the phone.

That's the way it was for me in Florida in 2012.

It's probably because your governors race is so close.

Having some experience with calling voters for the ALG campaign a few times. Pretty much voters made their minds up long ago. Most would vote for Daffy Duck over the other guy. Does not matter party both are equal in this respect.

So turnout is the key. That will be the decider in close elections. Who can get them to the polls.

I've already made up my mind how I'm going to vote for the rest of my life.

This is true.

It's all up to the unmotivated poorly informed voters in close elections.

If they get up off their lazy asses and vote it goes one way. If they don't it goes another. Depressing isn't it?

Here we go, Romney comes to the aid of GOP with an irresponsible comment. He is "confidant' that Obama will grant amnesty to illegal immigrants. Of course, it is reported on Fox news and will certainly energize the Republicans to go to the polls.

Romney cautious about Senate predictions, but confident Obama will order amnesty

Lie, lie and lie. If everyone lied, polling would be a meaningless undertaking.

Push polling invites it.
