1. I just read this on Yahoo's front page...

It looks like all of the recent polls are making the same point.

3. yep...that and a volatile electorate

4. the gallup editor basically just admited that his poll is crap

If Kerry just ties with independents and gets 85% of the dem vote, he wins the popular vote period.
