My absentee ballot has already been forwarded to the appropriate precinct in Connecticut for shredding (or whatever it is they do with the ballots that consistently lands the state in the "D" column.)

How much of the NJ anti-terrorism speech was carried by the MSM in Florida and Ohio? I bet very little was seen by ABCNBCCBS viewers as un-edited footage.

By a margin of 52 percent to 34 percent, self-identified independent voters today are backing Bush. This is up from an 11-point advantage the president had among this group two weeks ago.

And throw Nader in and it's 51-33-4. I'm liking this.

How can that be since Fox claimed that after each debate Bush won in their polls?

Rasmussen is reporting the same breaking direction among undecideds. This confirms the trend.

Think a broader voting base for W. can overcome voter fraud and illegal registrations? I'm reminded of a quote from Fried Green Tomatoes about the importance of not underestimating the power of those who scheme.

It's a close race because bush has improved a lot in NJ, NY, and CA, all states he will likely lose anyway, just by not as much. In the swing states there is still a 20% chance Kerry wins the Electoral college.

No, one must never "misunderestimate" the conniving of the left. That said, I think the GOP is going to fight a better ground war this time around. Unlike 2000, expect to see more vigorous poll watchers, GOP lawyers, and maybe even some lockups!

Only one thing worries me, and that is the focus in the polls on "likely voters". Often, this is defined as people who voted in the last election, and if I recall, the decline in turnout didn't stop in 2000. If there ever was an uptick in participation, the "likely voter" polls would miss a key segment of the actual voting population.

Couple that with an upturn in registrations in many places (Oregon and Washington have seen the numbers of registered voters rise sharply) and perhaps you have a situation that favors Kerry.

Bush by 7 to 10% on election day. It will be a 42 state sweep.

I have to be away for a conference on Nov 2 so I think it's better to use the absentee ballot and hope it gets counted than not to vote at all. If I didn't have to go to this conference, I wouldn't.

Glad that I'm not the only one questioning the information we're seeing...something is strange with the totals...one or the other is wrong. I strongly believe it is the national numbers. It is hard to see how people can break to sKerry in large numbers. You may not agree with W, but he's going to defend this country.

How exactly does W lose 1% from a 3-way race to a 2-way? Can you see a likely voter saying: "Wait a minute, if Nader is not an option, then ... I don't know if I can see myself voting for Bush anymore..."

It just doesn't compute!
