| Official .Org Presidential Poll Well they say it's a tight race between the two, so let's see if the .Org can shed some light on who will be the clear winner.
If you had to vote now, whom would you vote for...?
Kerry vs. Bush

It definately impacts your life.
I won't vote here either because I think they're both terrible choices, with Kerry being the much worse of the 2. If it mattered in my state I might vote Bush. Since it won't, it will be easy to vote 3rd party. Maybe Nader just to piss off the Kerry lovers. I had a limo driver tell me he was going to write in Chris Rock. That sounded good to me.

| Re: Official .Org Presidential Poll LTL, it's closer than you may think. The latest poll results from Cali are within the margin of error. Kerry is only up on Bush by a couple points there. |

Also I work with the military and there is a HUGE difference between presidents when it comes to military effectiveness.

So far I'm thinking Badnarik.

| Re: Official .Org Presidential Poll I don't recall which one it was, but it only had kerry ~5 points up. I think it was from Monday or Tuesday.
It was from one of those electoral vote predictor pages. I'll look, but we all know that polls don't necessarily mean much. |

| Re: Official .Org Presidential Poll Yep.
The cell phone phenomena adds an interesting twist too. (Since the vast majority of these polls are done by land line phone, and for good reason)
