I'm just speculating here, but there are signs of a Democratic tide that hasn't gotten much coverage in the news.
Democratic Senate candidates are polling surprisingly well. Months ago, the conventional wisdom was that Republicans might pick up to five seats in the Senate. It now appears that Democrats will at least hold their current number of seats, and might even add a few to their number. A year ago, I would have laughed in your face if you had told me the Democrats might take control of the Senate. Today, it's a possibility.
Add that to swing state reports that Democratic registration of new voters is far exceeding Republican efforts, and I have to wonder if we're glimpsing parts of a larger pattern. As we move into the final month before election day, voters are gravitating to Democratic candidates.
