Gergie, this is just too...weird! I'm predicting a Kerry win; you're predicting a Bush "something"!
It's downright scary. But, at least it's objective, and honest. I like that!

The battle is on as to who's my favorite "Progessive", either you or Den. Did you check out that Real Clear site? Greatest polling site since sliced bread!

I like your point about winners losing in the long run. A Bush "win" sets Hillary up for '08. A Kerry "win" sets up McCain, perhaps, or Jeb, long-shot, for '08. The possibilities are endless, and interesting.

EDIT: If there are too many "shenanigans" again, in this election, maybe we'll get some REAL voting reforms in place by '08. That'd be a nice change!
