I’m going nuts here. Nuts. I have to go to choir practice, but I think I’ll lobby for leaving ASAP after a quick run-through of our stuff for this Sunday.
Electoral Vote shows a 1 point lead for Kerry, but then the Votemaster points out that no matter the numbers, the latest poll for a state wins, and the latest one for New Jersey shows a tie. but a couple of polls from yesterday show comfortable leads. Be sure to read the background info for interesting tech stuff, my husband David.
I think I’m going to need a large glass of wine, too.
As Clinton said earlier today, “It’s taht as uh tiiick.”
UPDATE: It’s after 7pm ET so I’m adding the Pirate Polls to the blockquote.
