Hi Tigerpaw; Re: "The media polls have a bias toward the appearance of a close race. This keeps more viewers tuned in. Kerry has been ahead for weeks, but the polls have used a skewed ratio of Republican/Democrat percentages to weight their poll. They didn't want the race to appear to be a blowout or people wouldn't watch their TV all day. ..." I heard the same thing, or variations, from a lot of liberal friends. Like I've said before, people believe pretty much what they want to believe. They can explain away huge amounts of evidence to the contrary. It was this same very human deficit that explains why Bush went into Iraq in the first place. -- Carl
