My fellow blogger Bob Cesca asked the question this morning about whether the Republicans who have been all the rage for the past year, peaked too early.  Is it possible that all the hyped up outrage at the Beck Tea Party rallies is not in fact going to translate into an overwhelmning number of electoral victories for the GOP come November?  I’m not sure I know the answer to that but if Democrats are supposed to be apathetic and fed up with President Obama, this was not evident at his rally yesterday at the University of Wisconsin.  26,000 people showed up to hear the president speak and they were (to steal a line from the 2008 campaign) fired up and ready to go!

It turns out that the so-called enthusiasm gap among Democratic voters might be shrinking just in time for the November elections:  (h/t Bob Cesca)

Among likely voters — identified by their past voting history and their high level of interest in the November midterms — 46 percent prefer a Republican-controlled Congress, versus 43 percent who want a Democratic-led one.

That’s a decline (though within the margin of error) from the 49-to-40 percent lead Republicans held in late August.

Bottom line: Everyone needs to vote and tell their friends and neighbors to vote.  Carpool to the polls to make sure that people have a ride.  The only polls that matter are the ones taken on election day.  It’s the votes that matter not the gallup tracking poll.

“[P]rogress is going to come, but you’ve got to stick with me. You cannot lose heart.” President Obama
