It comes down to turnout. The party with the best turnout wins. .
Sorry, this is not at your expense but I get a chuckle every time I hear one of the talking heads say this. It reminds me of a football coach (I wish I could remember who) that was being interviewed before a big game. When asked who was going to win the game, the coach looked fairly pensive then said, "well, the way I see it, the team that puts the most points on the board is going to take this game."
This is a line that every talking head political analyst on cable says at least once, though generally more, in every election. The thing is that it is probably the most accurate thing they can say because it is true by definition but it really doesn't say anything.
