This is a poll a few days before the 2000 election!

Lets just ignore polls and just get the Bush votes out.

Why are any polls seen as news worthy??

And this election is a lot harder to predict than the last one, IMO.

4 days out in 2000 we all thought it was in the bag--350 EV's etc. This is not in the bag by a long, long, long shot. In fact, I'm worried as hell.

Each of us needs to do a little more than just going out to vote. This is crunch time.
