1. I certainly hope so. After his cheap Kennedy remarks I hope he tanks
He is an arrogant wise ass that deserves to lose.

2. The latest "Majority Watch Constituent Dynamics" poll is brutal.
http://www.majoritywatch.com/

Chris Shays 52
Diane Farrell 43

All the other polls I've seen show a close race, though.

3. I've heard that it is too close to call
I want Diane Farrell to win I can taste it! She is the best.

I have an argument with a good friend who is a constitutent of Shays and won't give up on him. I hope I am wearing her down! She really nice and liberal but she just has this loyalty to Chris. Stupid, really...

8. That poll's bound to be on the outer edge of the bell curve.

5. "I'm not going to take it personally that I'm out of a job."
I caught a media clip of him sometime in last 24-48 hours in which he was giving what essentially sounded like an early concession speech to the interviewer. "I'm not going to take it personally that I'm out of a job." But what grinded his butt (paraphrasing) was that he was just at the height of his career with 20+ years of valuable experience yada yada yada...

7. He should take it personally. It's about him, personally.

10. Betcha he gets a nice cushy job as a lobbyist
in D.C. if he is "out of a job."

These defeated office holders go on to greater riches if they they lose their seats. No way is he "out of a job"!

6. Too close to know, from all I hear
It's going to come down to who shows up on Tuesday.

9. Hey, JerseyGirl! Tomorrow's weather is going to be mild and no rain
Dems will be flocking to the polls. I only hope the pubs will be demoralized and go walking on the beach.

11. LOL. We can hope, can't we?
I'm nervous, to be honest. So much at stake!
