And in what election, EVER, has half of a leading candidate's support switched sides, 10 days away from an election?

When was the last California recall election?

[Congressman Billybob]

So what that it's a "recall" election? It is still an "election." And in any election, 18% of the total vote that is committed to one candidate does not shift to another candidate within 9 days of the election.

Actually, there is exactly one circumstance in which a shift like that CAN happen. It is possible for such a shift so late in the game -- if the leading candidate is killed. That's it. End of list. Unless you are rooting for Schwarenegger's death, you are wasting your time and energy.
