Welcome to European Tribune. It's gone a bit quiet around here these days, but it's still going.

the race almost never gets this far, and most of the campaigns haven't bothered to realy campaign at al in the feb 5th states until quite recently, assumin that they'd sweep the early primaries and get the momentum. buit they split the early ones, and now the sleeping giants of california illinois and new york are rubbing their eyes and trying to figure out what is happening.

i have not gotten a single phone call, a single mailer, or a single canvasser, and i live in the biggest state in the nation. the election doesn't seem to even be happening, by and large.

my guess is that in addition to the 25% undecided in caliofrnia we also have a significant % who might say they favor one candidate or the other, but might swing in the last day or the voting booth.

it could be crazy. polling is a fool's errand.

Which is why the media framing of the issues is so vital and why Edwards had so little chance...
