How long till Osama just "happens" to be captured?

If they were gonna do that, why would they wait til the last minute? I'd think if they were gonna pull a stunt like that they would have done it by now to catch the absentee voters

Tomorrow I hope. Or the next day or week or year. As long as that SOB burns I don't care when he is caught.

I really don't give a damn when they catch the . I think if there were anything going on to influence the election they would have done it by now. People are already voting absentee. I wonder if they'll ever catch the guy. I hope so.

We shall see and I should hope that there is repect from each sides whatever the outcome.

Howard Fineman said that at this point it's possible that Bush could win the popular vote and Kerry could win the Electoral College........................

 

[A_Wanderer]

I assume that in the event that that occurs all those blood sucking lawyers would rush - rush - to the aid of the GOP?

Both sides have tons of lawyers ready for action

 

[A_Wanderer]

It is going to be messy unless whoever wins gets a really good margin - Goooooo Nader!

 

[MrsSpringsteen]

I'm terrified

 

[sharky]

didn't Bush's DWI show up three days before the 2000 election? I would put nothing past either party.

I agree. If it's Bush, OK, it's the will of the people, even though that's not who I'm voting for. Am I nervous? Of course. I'm not milquetoast. I'll be so relieved when this is over. Eight months is way too long for a tense political campaign.

The projected final map predicts a victory of 311-227 for Kerry, based on those who have already decided sticking with their decisions, Nader getting 1% of the vote, all other minor candidates getting a further 1%, and undecideds breaking for the challenger (Kerry in this case) 2 to 1.



The election is now Kerry's to lose over the next few days.

 

[verte76]

OK, this poll shows Kerry leading in Florida, Pennsylvania, and Ohio, the biggest prizes among the swing states. Let's hope this is what it looks like on Election Night.

Maybe on Saturday, when Bush is heading home to Crawford - only 9 days away from the election, how bizarre, how bizarre, how bizarre. That way, it'll be a "surprise." Or maybe he'll land in the middle of Baghdad in a bomber jacket and give another mission accomplished speech.

The Kerry camp are no slouches either. Bubba's back, back again. Stay tuned on Monday.

Everybody stop looking at the polls. They are garbage when a candidate can fluctuate 5-10% overnight. Voter turnout will determine the victor in 13 days.

 

[Boston01]

The electoral vote predictor showed just the opposite three days ago ... their method is far from perfect.

If you were to really analyze the most recent state-by-state polls, there's still not a clear winner yet. Florida and Ohio are still tied.

Here's what I've observed: Pennsylvania, Minnesota, and Michigan are blue states now. Bush is wasting his time in New Jersey. Florida and Ohio are still tied. Missouri is slightly red--Kerry was right for pulling his ads there. I'd give Nevada and New Mexico to Bush. The South is all Bush. Kerry is wasting his breath in Colorado.

If Kerry wins either Ohio or Florida, he wins the election.
