I must say, I'm getting way too emotionally involved in the election right now.... One way to get really tense is to follow the vacillating poll reports. Electoral Vote (via Piraeus) is good, as is Slate's detailed scorecard. Both are updated daily. It looks as if the election will come down to 6 states--Florida, Ohio, Wisconsin, Iowa, New Mexico, and New Hampshire. Yet we're still fighting hard here in Colorado and the latest Zogby has Kerry ahead. Still, the state is probably out of reach unless Kerry has a good day. Apparently there is statistical reason to believe the new voter and minority turnout may yet make a big difference.
