Don't get too cocky now! We need to make sure we stay on our game and get the vote out. If you are into volunteering, I know that moveon.org has calling parties where callers from non-swing states call moveon members in swing states to recruit them to volunteer at registration booths in colleges in democratic areas. Maybe that would be a good idea for you.

I seem to remember the same declaration a while back. If the election was this coming Tuesday, I'd be worried. A lot can happen in 4-5 weeks.

This will allow us to see if his "method" is consistently able to properly project or if he is way off base.
Don't forget we got ourselves into a lot of trouble over the past elections by putting too much faith in the projection models and too little into the peoples actual votes. |

Even then you can't be sure. the Gore/Bush projections were way off in silly ville all the way up to the election and including during the reporting of the districts. When it is over, then it is over. Until then, I ain't making any bets. |

I'm not going to celebrate until the polls officially close & we have an actual winner. These polls constantly go up & down until right before the election, they're not an accurate decider.
