with an average 305 EV and 51.17% of the popular vote.

And that's based on the LATEST state polling data.

Please, no more gloom and doom around here.

He's a winner. Can you feel it?

GOOD will triumph over EVIL.

1. Wouldn't it be a blast if Kerry lost the popular vote,
but won the electoral vote, like Bush did in 2000? Can you hear the Republicans screaming bloody murder! Actually I think Kerry will win both. Anyway, thanks for your statistical analysis, TruthIsAll.

2. Thanks for the breath of fresh air...
I'm tired of the bellyaching over the stupid polls. Everyone should just keep fighting like we're behind, regardless of what the polls du jour say.
