I remember in one of these things before the last election, they had Bush winning like 394 or something like that in electorial votes and as many as 400 plus. Didn't happen did it? I don't trust any of this stuff. Polls change by the minute, event, if you are having a bad day, whatever. In the end, I think this election, like all of them, will come down to $$$$$$$. People are going to, for the most part, vote where it will benefit their pocketbooks the most. Gas prices, oil prices, losses in the market, etc., will cause stupid people to do stupid things, thus end up costing Bush the election. Iraq, the war on terror, etc., will also play into it. But, $2.00 plus on gas prices will cause some to bolt. I saw an interview with some people, on the news cast the other day, that asked about gas prices. About 95% of the ones said, it started with Bush and big oil. Get Bush out, prices come down. You know and I know that is crap, but uninformed people vote that way. Just like the poll last week where only 48% of the people had HEARD of the UN oil for food program scandle. 48%!!!!

We must keep one thing in mind. We have a different electoral college than we did in 2000. After the 2000 census, the electoral votes increased in the states that went for Bush in 2000 and decreased in the states that went for the Dem-o-rats (Gore). So, the 2000 census gave us about 10 more electoral votes than we had in 2000 if my memory serves me correctly.
