OK -- My name is Aussiegirl -- and I'm a Jello-belly -- that's right -- I admit that I'm scared to death. Yup -- I won't fool anybody, my fellow bloggers know me too well. So -- I'm here to give courage to all you other Jello-bellies out there. The faint of heart. The doubters and chewers of fingernails to the very nub. The stomach churners out there popping Pepto-Bismol and Tums like a coed pulling an all-nighter before mid-terms. Yup -- we are scared because we know what the stakes are and the costs of losing.

And -- we are going to get up tomorrow and vote -- and -- we are going to watch George Bush win a victory. And we are are going to quell these pre-voting day jitters and face the music like the Americans we are.

We are going to think of George Bush and Laura -- and their bravery and courage. If they can do it we can. We are going to remember our young men and women in arms in dangerous places doing the hard work of keeping us safe. If they can do it we can. We are going to think of all the families of those GI's and we are going to be strong along with them. We are going to remember all the families of all the people who died on 9/11 and all those who have died in the defense of our freedom -- and we are going to be strong.

Snap out of it, Aussiegirl, and all you other weak in the knees Republicans. Did you think fighting for freedom and democracy would be easy? Did you think it was easy for our parents to fight WWII? Don't give in -- the dems and the media are trying to demoralize you. Don't let them do it. OK -- I'm mad now!!! And I'm not demoralized.

Let's take a look at these polls. We had predicted as much. The polls would predictably "tighten" as election day drew near making it an exciting race for the media to report.

Not only that, the skewed polls accomplish a myriad of objectives for them.

1) The media hope the close polling energizes the dem base, which we know is weak, and gives them hope that victory is within their reach.

2) They hope to demoralize the Bush vote.

3) They pre-emptively set the stage for declaring the outcome "unfair" and fraudulent if the margin of victory is wide for George Bush.

4) It makes the race more exciting, so people tune in to the coverage.

It's the last gasp of the MSM. Having tried and failed to pull an October surprise with the Al-Qaqaa explosives story, they had one more card up their sleeves. I find it exceedingly hard to believe that for some inexplicable reason, AFTER the Bin Laden tape is revealed, that Americans are suddenly racing to support John Kerry over George Bush. Nothing has really changed over the last few days. Bush has been drawing record crowds. The dems are not crazy over Kerry -- most of them can't stand him. Are they going to stand in line on a cold and wet day because they hate George Bush so much? I doubt there is so much hate in this country, and if there is then we are in even bigger trouble than we know.

A lot of Kerry's "support" comes from those first-time and other unmotivated voters who were cajoled into registering for the first time. I count on them to look at the weather first thing tomorrow and roll over and go back to sleep. Kerry has never gotten even close to polling 50%. Bush's ratings have been consistently over 50% or close to it. Bush polls consistently higher in the 60% range as to who is a better leader, more decisive and who the voter trusts to wage the war on terror. The economy is good and growing. And there is a very large "stealth" vote for George Bush. There are many democrats and other people who are afraid to admit that they are going to go into the booth tomorrow and pull the lever for George Bush.

The Mayor of Youngstown, Ohio was on a Hannity's radio show, and he is not only supporting George Bush he says his open support has generated floods of emails and phone calls from other democrats who support him as well. So -- is there a groundswell of Republicans who are moved to suddenly vote for Kerry? No.

Personally, it's probably a good thing that the election appears to be this tight and close. Last time in 2000 we were a bit overconfident, and radio hosts such as Rush Limbaugh were confidently talking about a victory of landslide proportions. And even the Bush people got so cocky they took the last weekend off from campaigning. And look at the mess we had. No -- we need every single voter to vote like there's no tomorrow -- because there isn't.

Now -- swallow that lump in your throat, hang on to your sweetie or your kids, take your Tums and your Pepto -- and do what needs doing. Then we'll all gather by the fire over at Ms. Lucianne's and we'll hold each other's hands until all the counting is over and the last lawsuit has been filed.

On to victory!!

The real fun may come after the votes are in, as Kerry has vowed to declare victory regardless of the outcome and start naming a cabinet. He hopes to declare himself the winner, refuse to concede, and proceed in court and in behavior as if he is the winner. We are entering uncharted territory here, and the days of the chivalry of Richard Nixon seem dim indeed.

Let's hope tomorrow's victory is beyond the margin of litigation -- which is now the new standard for winning an election if you are a Republican.
