    The greater the turnout, the better the chances for the Democrats. I can ignore Chuck and can focus on Keith and Rachel.

    Fox News will host a "Tea Party Zone" TONIGHT, Election Night

    On November 2, the day of the midterm elections, Fox News' Fox Nation website will open its "Tea Party Zone" with "live video" and "live chat." In April, News Corp. head Rupert Murdoch that said that Fox News shouldn't be "supporting the Tea Party or any other party."

      Maybe Chuck Todd decided to not be a pundit and start being a reporter. There is something to be said for credibility. Gallup in their finally forecast is saying a Republican House seat pickup of 55 minimum to 85 maximum. Now if everyone forecasts the same thing and Todd predicts exactly the opposite, what happens to your credibility.

      Considering most news sources have Republicans making significant gains and likely picking up the house, do you think most other news sources have a conservative bias? Or is this some joke I'm missing? It sounds like you're desperate for news sources to tell you what you want to hear, as opposed to objective estimates.

      Also, considering fear and anger seem to be such better motivators than anything else, wouldn't the threat of conservative wins prompt more liberals to head to the polls?

      I just voted and can tell you this, it was BUSY, the parking lot a steady stream of cars. The ladies I always see and talk to briefly said it was like a presidential election, it has been a steady stream of voters, and a waiting line; they said it was really busy early and it has been constant. What I saw was during working hours so I can imagine the lines will be much long later.

      Jody, you guys have a governors' race too. Could that be the reason your turn out is so high?

      I ask because, in New Jersey, we vote for governor in off years, so I have no idea how that effects turn out.

        #2.1 - Tue Nov 2, 2010 2:57 PM EDT

        No Joe. Yes, we elect a Governor today, or I should say re-elect the current one or a previous one. That has some impact but doesn't explain it completely because I've seen other years where turn out is so so. There are a lot of reasons the turn out is high here, parts of central Iowa and eastern Iowa, where I live is more democratic. Outside groups have been targeting Iowa Supreme Court judges here which even a former republican Governor said is wrong; they're spending a lot on ads. Every ten years we are asked if we want to hold a Constitutional convention which is on the ballot plus a number of local offices. There's also a clean water initiative on the ballot.

          How ARROGANT can a media outlet be ???? America REFUSES the endless propaganda from the LIBERAL media !!!

          The Liberal media doesn't want Americans to independently see for themselves what is happening.... the Liberal media is actually expecting America to believe ONLY what THEY want to report.... by suggesting that Americans should NOT believe their LYING eyes and ears !

          I always laugh when the right calls it the liberal media. Hardly liberal just because they report facts. You've been listening to Sarah and FOX too much--its a liberal media bias that cost the repubs the election in 2006 and 2008, never occurs to the right wing spinners that maybe, just maybe voters decided they didn't like what the GOP did.

                    David Gregory should be happy tonight. He worked hard using Meet The Press to give Republicans a forum. Did he give Michael Steel enough uninterupted airtime? Tim would not recognize the show. Move it to Fox.

                      Gregory was not a good choice to succeed Russert. He's a huge disappointment; so much so that I don't watch the show anymore.

                                This may be the one day I actually watch MSNBC just to see the spin. But if Chris Matthews is not going to cry, then I won't stay tuned in for very long. We need more apocalyptic doom and gloom from these fake journalists, or you are just not going increase your ratings.

                                Really. This is a good chance for MSNBC to pick up some viewers and increase ratings. But we need more hand wringing, teeth gnashing, and hair pulling or you just will not keep these new viewers. Please call us astroturf, angry and stupid some more; that works really well.

                                I don't think Tea partiers are stupid; just gullible. Their movement started as a Libertarian movement but it was quickly taken over by corporate interests who have found a useful group of tools who will advocate policy that will benefit corporations and the wealthiest Americans at their own expense. Google what Ron Paul himself thinks about the direction the Tea Party is going.

                                    Not sure why Ed Rachel, Chris, and Keith would slit their wrists over Republican gains. The wilder the conservatives get the more material they have.

                                    MSNBC is polemic and it does put its spin on stories. For the most part they stick with facts though and put their interpretation on them. Fox News on the other hand has no problem with fiction to advance their cause. They seem to believe if you repeat a lie enough times it becomes the truth.

                                            That is no surprise, as both FOX and MSNBC do not report news so much as they spew out editorials in support of their own agendas. Gone are the days of real journalists. We are left with spokesholes for a corporate political view.

                                              Democratic candidates steam rolled legislation down our throats by using reconciliation to pass health care. Much of the legislation included hundreds of pages of pork, to top it off. They were told at that time that the voters seek retribution in November due to their senators and reps having deaf ears...so they should not be surprised now. They were told this would happen and they chose to follow party leaders instead of their constituents. This is called "just desserts".

                                                  is Tom Brokaw going to cry because his dream has been destroyed? Or will he call every Republican victory "the outcome in a particularly dishonest and vile personal campaign" .... NBC has forgotten logic, but it looks like voters aren't being swayed by Democrats lies, mostly.
