RELAX, AND FIGHT – AT 8:06 A.M. ET:  So, we're three weeks away from the election.  What does that mean?  It means nothing.

Three weeks are four lifetimes in politics.  The idea at this point is never to relax, never to assume anything, for anything can happen.  Many of the most important races in the country are very close.  The Democrats are fighting desperately, and making wild charges about sinister "foreign money" entering the campaign.  You know those foreigners.  Gotta watch 'em. 

At this stage the GOP, if present trends continue, stands a good chance to capture the House, and has at least a shot at the Senate.  But beware the October surprise.  In particular, beware the surprise from a president schooled in the ways of Chicago politics.  This race can get very ugly.

So relax, and fight.  We're not winding down anything.
