Hugh Hewitt's been out on the hustings and says there's zero evidence the Republican "base" is staying home. And he has data from Ken Mehlman to back that up.
Ditto Grover Norquist in this morning's WaTi, with whom I could not agree more.
There are always in every election cycle self-appointed conservative leaders who announce, 'You haven't done enough for me, so my troops are staying home,' " Mr. Norquist said.
"The National Rifle Association, Americans for Tax Reform, the [National] Right to Life Committee -- the groups that actually put lead on the target and who do stuff all the time, they're not unhappy," Mr. Norquist said.
Julie Ponzi has a nice post on Republican attitude.
