If Iraq had been the shoo-in that Bush hoped for, he would be a slam-dunk for re-election right now

I agree totally.

I think polls are very scientific. There is no doubt about it, no matter what they say about cell phones etc, Bush is ahead in scientific polling. Bush is ahead by about 2 per cent.

Having said that, I think exit polls are even more scientific. They are even more accurate as they reflect people coming out of the polls. The exit polls coming out of Florida were more accurate than the actual physical count.

Exit polls however do not count. Only the physical count counts. That is the way the game is played and those are the rules. That is why Bush is President. The reality however was that more people voted for Al Gore.

If the War had come out half way decently, there would be no contest. Bush would easily win. However, with the way the war is going, it is astonishing that Bush is in the lead. Just goes to show you the power of incumbency.
