The Final Sooth, And A Word From The Management.

John, our official political soothsayer extraordinaire, has made his final prediction on the results on 2 November, and they can best be summed up nicely in these one-word descriptors: "Wipeout". "Bloodbath". "Slaughter".

Here's the numbers:

Governorships: Pickup of 8 for the GOP, for 32 governorships.
Senate: Pickup of 7 for the GOP, giving the Republicans 48 seats.
House: Pickup of 76 (Yes, he said 76 -ed.) for the GOP, flipping the House to 255 Republicans.

Now, a word from your humble blogger:

John's numbers are all well and good, but they WILL NOT HAPPEN if you, dear readers, do not GET OUT AND VOTE! And get your friends out to vote. And get your family out to vote, and get casual acquaintances out to vote, and... well, you get the picture.

You have a cell phone with a contacts list - use it! Many of you have Facebook and Twitter accounts - use them as well. Contact everyone you know who wants to restore this country and Washington back to the values found in the Constitution, and repair the damage done by the values of Chicagoland politics. Let them know how important it is for them to vote - even in races where it the conservative candidate is a shoo-in - and that you value them enough to enough to remind them.

In this day and age of cell phones and the Internet, you don't have to fight the power - you can BE the power.
