...using a statistical method involving sunspot numbers, Chinese tea futures and minute variations in the dielectric constant.


Erm, no.


I really must take issue with all these bizarre claims being made that some sort of correlation exists between historic election results and stuff that has nothing to do with them whatsoever.

Can't people wait? Why jump the gun?

If we could wait, would we have been treading so close to the deat line lo these many months? :D

The PRP must be removed from power.

Aye - only twelve days to go, folks! It's not much longer....

except for the counting! ;)

Incidentally, I have the race virtually tied at the moment, so it really could go either way.

here are the current numbers....

Thursday October 21, 2004--The latest Rasmussen Reports Presidential Tracking Poll shows President George W. Bush with 49% of the vote and Senator John Kerry with 46%. The Tracking Poll is updated daily by noon Eastern.

When "leaners" are included, the President leads 50% to 48%. Leaners are those who initially do not express a preference for Bush or Kerry. We ask them a follow-up question to determine which way they are leaning at the moment.

Thirty-eight percent (38%) of voters say National Security issues are most important in Election 2004 while 25% name Economic issues most important

The Rasmussen Reports Electoral College projections show Bush with 222 Electoral Votes and Kerry with 190. Ten Toss-Up states with 126 Electoral Votes will determine who occupies the White House over the next four years. Collectively, in the 16-Battleground States that both campaigns have contested this cycle, the candidates are tied at 48%. That's exactly where Bush and Gore ended up four years ago.

Fifty-eight percent (58%) of Likely Voters are somewhat or very worried that another Florida-style mess will mar the end of Election 2004.

Fifty-two percent (52%) have a favorable opinion of the President while 50% say the same about Senator Kerry. The President's overall Job Approval rating is at 53%.

Forty-two percent (42%) give the President good or excellent ratings for handling the economy while 44% give him good or excellent marks for handling the situation in Iraq.

Forty-five percent (45%) of voters expect their taxes to go up if Senator Kerry is elected. Most expect their taxes to stay the same if the President is re-elected. On Social Security, voters are evenly divided as to which is riskier--letting workers invest on their own or relying on the federal government for promised benefits.

we just want to be able to sleep at night

if a stupid belief in the predictive powers of nickelodeon helps us do that, is it SO bad?
