Debate Tonight!
I'm rather annoyed that the UPS guy showed up 30 minutes later than normal and 10 minutes after Anita had to leave for Work. So now I have to drive about an hour and a half round trip, just to pick up my package! There's got to be a better way.
Anyway, more importantly is tonight's debate. This could be anybodys victory, however unless one canidate really smashes the other it will have little effect on the outcome. The national polls have been bouncing all around for weeks already, so it probably won't change much in either persons favor. In any case a majority of the people in those polls are from states that have already been "decided". Who cares if Kerry picks up 10,000 votes in California it means nothing in the end, same difference if Bush picked up more votes in Texas. The electoral college polls tend to show Bush with enough to win, but Kerry is close so a couple of states will ultimately decide the election--My guess is whoever wins Ohio--wins the Presidency. If that's true Bush has the edge, but it's not close to a sure thing.

I'll start the commenting--
One more annoying this, the guy at electoral-vote.com while still following the rules for his map, is just giving more and more liberal rant about Bush and Republicans! There are loonies in both parties--personally I think more in the democratic camp but that's just my gut feeling
