Gergie, buddy, I'm relieved to see ya' survived the "Great Boston Massacre", with nothing more than a super hangover!. (Just teasin' with ya'; nuthin nasty here.)

I prefer the NY Times Interactive Election Guide Electoral Map; it's up-to-date, and no major bias.(Although, once again, registration is required.)

The best polling site has got to be Real Clear Politics.

The race is tightening up fast. Bush's overall lead is dropping, and if I had to take a educated guess now; I'd bet he's toast. I'm steeling myself for a Kerry victory. (I've said it before; if Bush pulls it out, it will be a miracle. An incumbant should not be in this tight a race. It bodes ill for Mr. Bush.)

Zogby, the only pollster to accurately predict the 2000 race, has it tied, but there are numerous wrinkles in the mix. Whew! Still a horse race, but tighter than a nun's.....habit! The #'s change every day!

You are correct, sir. No one's mind is to be changed at this stage in the game; much better to keep it civil and center upon the logisitics of fight. It's bloody marvelous sport, to me. Jolly, jolly good show, cobbers and cobbettes! Better than Access Hollywood!

On election night, early returns may show the trends. If Bush pulls a state or two out of the Northeast,( i.e. NH, or long-shot: Maine) his odds increase. If it goes as predicted, Mr. Bush gets early retirement.


PS. Soon after the election, Mr. Mitchie-poo (perhaps I should start refering to him as Mr. Sylvia-poo! ), shall, in his infinite wisdom, shut this thread down, making Mike, et al, deliriously happy.

Now, if you Lib's want a place to go a bash Republicans, Neo-cons, and othersof this ilk, might I respectfully remind and suggest:

You'll love this place! Lib's out-number conservatives 10-1; it makes CTF seem domestically tranquil in comparison; and they cuss like Marines! A veritable Liberal Nirvana, as I live and breathe! So, if you've got to get politics out of your system, this may be the place to go.
