There is still plenty of time left for both to gain or lose points. Charlie, I would strongly advise against declaring victory until the votes are counted.

I just think it's too early to make any predictions. At this point anything can happen.

not to get off topic here but Kerry/Edwards are 4-6 points ahead in the polls right now in what should be their highest rating period. My dear political astute friends I'm you are aware of this somewhat unsettling stat which bodes very poorly for the Libs ........ I actually feel sorry for Kerry/Edwards. GW has yet to take the gloves off and campaign.... my friends this election will be blowout, Bush by 12 percent at least and wins Florida in a landslide. You heard it here first.
Hannity alert, we've been Hannitized!!!

Well, back to fear and perspective...I find that I don't really worry too much about the threat of terrorism. I stay aware, but that's about it. The optimistic or fatalistic approach I suppose - whichever you choose. Maybe I should worry, since my condo overlooks the Pentagon and I was very much affected (literally and figuratively) by 9/11. But the terror warnings and color-coded alerts are pretty much lost on me. I don't pay much attention to them, and I don't think too many other people do either. How do y'all feel about the alerts?

How many people here ran out and bought duct tape and plastic sheeting not so many months ago. Boy you were in trouble if you need a drop cloth.
The easiest way to dominate a culture is through fear, but I refuse to be afraid of the terrorists or the people that tell me I should be afraid.
