i truly want to thank Drew and ATinNM for being maniacs enough to bring me to a much greater understanding of how to dissect polls, and their importance. I've learned much from their banter and stats, and hope i can enjoy their insight tonight (assuming ET/Booman stays online.)
Thanks, guys. Forgive me for being from the Massa family who celebrates falsely too early, but it is a foregone conclusion, and you guys have given great insights these past months.
What i don't understand is this electoral college thing. Why can't the winner win in a democratie? Why should alaska get any votes? Shouldn't Exxon and Chevron be in the college?

Frank's diaries have been a great source of information as have the comments, criticisms, and analysis of the entire community.

BBC are saying virginia is an issue with serious voting problems. keep to the Fen Causeway
Reports are the Obama people are responding like lightning. One guy (Kos diary) reported a problem and the Vote Protection Squad called back within 4 seconds.
Very different from the Kerry campaign.
But the Electoral College system would work much better with proportional distribution of electors by state. The winner take all system is not in the Constitution, it just emerged in the early fight for influence. I've been accused of being a Marxist, yet while Harpo's my favourite, it's Groucho I'm always quoting. Odd, that.
