#1 RealClear Politics has another page today that shows the Electorial Votes: Bush 264 - Kerry 237
(270 Electoral Votes Needed to Win). That leaves 37 EV tied or unaccounted for. http://www.realclearpolitics.com/Presidential_04/RCP_EC.html
So, don't sell that bear skin just yet, rjb; however, your optimism is appreciated.

#2 best poll? Watch where they show up to energize voters. Kerry's still trying to get the base in blue states (WI) and Bush is hitting blue states as well(Ore., Wi, PA, NJ)

#3 Hugh Hewitt had an interesting angle on this that the polling companies do not have the correct model for what is really happening out there.

Two things should swing this W's way.
1) Strong Catholic vote for Bush.
2) Apathetic Union/Black vote for Kerry.

#4 I have always thought it was Bushs' to lose. The fact that he is showing up in the NJ socialist sh*thole next week tells me this place is in play, despite all of the stolen Bush lawn signs and scratched cars with Bush stickers on them.

#6 I think a backlash against last-minute moonbat antics will guarantee Bush's win. It's one thing to see a constant barrage of plainly one-sided media claims about Repub cheating, quite another to see the real attempts at intimidation and interference around polling places on election day. A lot of voters will run the gauntlet and decide to defy the moonbat authoritarians and manipulators where they still can, in the privacy of the voting booth.

#7 The Kerry Spot has a new post warning about these latest poll. Example; Newsweek oversampled Republicans.
