Just saw an ebullient Schumer on TV announcing Democratic pickups in Ohio and Pennslyvania to a cheering crowd. He said that they feel confident in Virginia, with many Democrtatic precincts in northern Virginia yet to be counted. But what struck me most was the contrast between the enthusiastic scene there and the rather quiet scene here at the NRSC. Libby Dole was down here about a half an hour ago saying she felt confident that they would retain the majority. When asked why things were so dead here compared with on the Democratic side, she played it down and said there would be plenty of time to celebrate down the road. Obviously, this is just anecdotal, but figured I’d pass it on and you can interpret it how you like.
