Hi Gloop,

Been following this discussion a little and while I have no desire to join it, I think many of the points made (by you and others) have been well taken.

With regard to the gender gap, I read somewhere an interesting post-mortem on the 96 election. If you divided the electorate into quadrants (married men, married women, unmarried men, unmarried women -- presumably Melissa Etheridge and Ellen DeGeneres fell into category 4), Clinton in 96 beat Dole in only ONE of the four quadrants.

You only need one guess as to which one it is.

I think there is a very good chance that the same will be true this time -- Bush will win three of those four quadrants, and lose the election.

I just can't watch this stuff anymore.... I'd rather watch my money evaporating on CNBC than watch windbags lie to me. I ceded my vote to a friend this year. Asked the person who I should vote for and why. They told me. And that's the way I'm gonna vote.
