Pull that lever, push that chad

Many doubt a sudden "rush" to Kerry in the last few days of the election. This makes some sense, especially since most polls, with a little pushing, don't show too many undecideds. But even if the polls are immovable, there's still that "moment of truth" when you've closed the curtain and it's just you and your conscience. That's when you stop pretending.

Four years ago, probably due to that "moment," there was an amazing rush to Gore. Five million voters were undecided and four million went to the Veep. Why? Well, he was tested, whereas this new guy only had his breath tested. (Does that make the "moment" a "moment of clarity.")

Which reminds me (this should be a separate post, but there are no rules here), it was four years ago when George W. Bush folded up his tent and decided to coast to victory. Even now I'm dumbfounded. Exactly what did he have to do that was more important?! I know he likes vacations, but couldn't he wait a few more days? He almost got a big vacation.

One more thing. I've already got expert analysis as to why Bush or Kerry won. Now all I need to do is await the results.
