Original Feed This is a rush transcript from "Hannity & Colmes," November 3, 2008. This copy may not be in its final form and may be updated. SEAN HANNITY, CO-HOST: The Diageo/Hotline polled voters about the congressional election and found that, as of today, 44 percent plan on voting Democratic. Thirty-nine percent will cast their vote for a Republican. The poll indicating Democrats may be losing some support, as their lead is now only 5 percent as opposed to 8 a week ago. Joining us now is the host of the red hot "Huckabee." By the way, you had Lorne Michaels. You had Bill Maher — who by the way, hates me; I don't know what it is — on your program. It was a great show this weekend. Mike Huckabee, FOX News contributor, host of "Huckabee" right here on the FOX News Channel. What do you make of the brand issue, and that is that the Republican brand isn't as well? But it was like 20 points before, and now it's down to five. Is that — is that a sign something's going on? Maybe people not liking Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid?
