text:  Congressman, the national vote has gone to the Democratic Party, even when the Republicans win historically. The national polling that shows a dead heat is not good for the Democratic Party. I'm not even being a partisan on this. Listen, there's no doubt that we're in a close election, but the three industrial states and the swing states, we talked about this at the top of the program. It doesn't matter what the national vote is. It doesn't matter what the chattering class says. It comes down to a handful of votes in a handful of states.
