Has anyone heard the following?

If Bush wins the popular vote but loses the electoral vote, his campaign staff indicated that they would wage an aggressive grass roots lobbying effort to urge Gore electors, in those states that do not bind electors to the pop vote winner, to cast their electoral votes for Bush, based on his popular vote victory.

All the polls I have seen for IA lately show Bush ahead including the one that came out today.

However, I still think ME, AR, NM are too close to call based upon polls. On Monday night I plan to call all the races one way or the other.

You may be right on ME. I am close to putting NH in Bush's column. I wouldn't bet on NM going Gore.<g>

Basically I agree with most of your predictions except I give Bush ME and AR, give Gore IA and NM.

I just moved IA to toss-up today. Now I have all four as toss-up states!
