A Quick Blogger Round-Up
Conservative RedState blogger Martin A. Knight had some strong words today (in bold red typeface). "Call me unrealistic, but I'm operating under the assumption that we're not losing a single seat unless we let ourselves lose," he said. The blog also started an open thread on voter experiences.
On Huffington Post, Blake Fleetwood warned that "in every election since 1988 there have been errors inflating Democratic numbers, but the pollmeisters have vowed to compensate for this unexplained factor this year." Be wary of phony polls, he cautioned, "which will be no more than quick telephone surveys of a small sample." As the British say, exit polls are "all in fun anyway."
Over at Right Wing News, John Hawkins reported on a teleconference with Republican National Committee Chairman Ken Mehlman. There have been "some dirty tricks" aimed at GOP candidates like an egging of Minnesota representative Gil Gutknecht's headquarters and poll workers being charged with faking votes from dead people in Tennessee. He also warned against paying attention to exit polls.
Matt Stoller at MyDD offered some advice to Democratic candidates in tight races where there are electoral problems. "You need to be prepared for your opponent to steal votes using a mix of local operatives and national legal expertise," he said. Read his tips here.
Meanwhile, BlogPulse reports that blogging stats are through the roof.
