The Night Before A Big Night?

November 6, 2006 | 4:24 PM

After polls that have many Congressional races too close too call, everyone is watching to see how the get out the vote effort goes Tuesday. It's an area that some argue led the Republican victories in 2004. Since then the Democrats have spent $8 million to catch up by buying data and other technology to target its voters.

The co-founder of Voter Action Network, a company that works with Democratic groups in 32 states, says he feels good about the ground operations Democrats have Tuesday.

"I think they're going to be in for a big surprise tomorrow," Mark Sullivan said.

Josh Holmes, a spokesman for the Republican National Committee says he believes Democrats have improved their operations, but he's "comfortable with where we are" heading into Election Day.

"I'm sure they have a formidable effort. It's one we're not discounting here," Holmes said.
