Subject: RE: BS: Who will win presidency on Tuesday?
Well, still not many real predictions, LEJ, Doug, Ebbie and DB (DB 'a c**t hair' - what the hell is that, or do I even want to know). So, I looked in at the top three polls this morning:

** Zogby (MSNBC/Reuters is a popular opinion poll) says Bush 46 and Gore 44
** Battleground Poll (a poll aimed at most likely voters) says Bush 46 and Gore 37
** Portrait of America (a poll aimed at "best cross section" of voters) says Bush 48 and Gore 41

While each of these polls has earned respect for measuring popular opinion, Battleground Poll has the best track record for accurate predictions. It looks like the polls are thinking like us; it's hard to call - but it may be that Ebbie is right.
