Now I'm Superstitious!

[Art Eatman]

Been nervous about this election, never having believed people would re-elect Clinton in 1996...Once again, in 2000, "It's the guns, stupid!" (Not to mention Big Nanny Gummint, the economy, you-name-it.)

So: Watched Monday Night Football. Just before the game started, they announced that in EVERY presidential election year where the Redskins played a home game just before the election, if the Skins won, the incumbent won. If the Skins lost, the challenger won.

Titans 27, Redskins 21.

Let us hope, pray and walk widdershins.

I'm willing to hang my hat on anything right now. I tell you, Bush is doing a GREAT job looking cool and confident. Hope he is right cause the Zogby state tracking polls really worry me......

But the Titans won. When I heard the track record, I rooted HARD for the titans even though Skin's have got 2 Bama players on their squad !

Madison, check out www.portraitofamerica.com . My understanding is that their research has historically been more accurate than Zogby. POA has GWB ahead by 6-7% in the popular vote, which translates into a very solid victory in electoral votes.

I find it interesting that no media outlet except FoxNews have been willing to broadcast POA's data. Hmmmmmmm.

Glock-A-Ron,

Media doesn't report much on PoA numbers because they use a new method of collecting poll data. They use a computer to make the call and the person answering push the key pad to answer the question.

I like PoA's numbers, but have to be worried that a 12 year old is answering the phone. Having said that, they have been considered, this past primary season, the most accurate followed by Gallup AND ZOGBY. So I do worry. Course we will see. Primary Polling is easier. You don't have to weight the poll because you got too many GOP one night or too many Dems another night.

I do have a problem with Zogby showing Gore getting 51% in FL.

On the inside poll numbers, I like the fact Bush is getting 51% of the married women vote - that usually means the hubby is also voting Bush.

Could be a blow out for Bush just as easily as a slight win for Gore. I DO NOT think Gore will win big, but I think Bush has a chance.
