And so it arrives.  Election Eve.  At On Point it’s our last time to talk politics before the vote.  On Election Day, tomorrow, we’ll steer clear while Americans make their final decisions and go to the polls.  It has been a long, long campaign.  On Election Eve, both sides say they’ve got victory coming.

They’re talking swing state counts and “organic enthusiasm.”  This could be messy.  But who knows?

This hour, On Point:  the final polls before we go to the polls.  Pollsters and top political strategists on reading the election map in front of us right now, on Election Eve.
