Mike at least Gore never signed a lie about a DUI conviction and has the capability to intelligently discuss issues with statesman around the world. George, can only deal with charging up the electric chair, er lethal injection, he does that well and fails at all else!!!!!!!!

Cummings: "Re: It has become obvious that Gore supporters are really in a panic mode tonight": Actually, I am very relaxed, at ease, and growing more confident of Tuesday's favorable outcome. According to Reuters, if the election were held today, Gore would capture about 300 electoral votes. Sweet dreams. Bush Lead Down to a Point in Reuters/MSNBC Poll By Alan Elsner, Political Correspondent WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Republican George W. Bush's lead over Democrat Al Gore fell to a single percentage point in Sunday's Reuters/MSNBC national tracking poll, and six key battleground states remained too close to call. The national survey of around 1,200 voters likely to take part in Tuesday's election, conducted Friday through Sunday by pollster John Zogby, found the Texas governor with 47 percent and the vice president with 46 percent. With a statistical margin of error of plus or minus three percentage points, the race is too close to call with the election two days away. Green Party nominee Ralph Nader polled 5 percent; Reform Party candidate Pat Buchanan stayed at 1 percent and Libertarian Party candidate Harry Browne also polled 1 percent. ``Nader continues to be the difference in this popular vote horse race. Twenty-eight percent of Nader voters, however, still say that they are very or somewhat likely to change their minds,'' said Zogby. ``On the other hand, only 10 percent of Gore supporters and 7 percent of Bush supporters still say they can change,'' he said. With the national poll this close, attention swings to a few battleground states where the election will be decided. Separate Reuters/MSNBC tracking polls of around 600 likely voters in nine key states showed an equally muddled picture. Gore seemed securely ahead in Michigan and Illinois. Bush appeared to have Ohio sewn up. But Florida, Missouri, Washington, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania and Tennessee all remained within the margin of error of plus or minus four points. In total, 153 votes in the Electoral College are up for grabs in those nine states. At the moment according to these polls, Gore would win 99 and Bush would take 54 of those votes. In Florida, possibly the single most crucial state, Gore increased his slim lead to three points from one. He also added a point in Washington. But Bush bounded four points ahead in Tennessee and added a point in Wisconsin. There was no discernible pattern in these poll movements that would give evidence of a national wave for either candidate. These are the complete state-by-state results for Sunday, including the net change over the past 24 hours: In the equally tight race for the House of Representatives, voters in the national poll preferred the Democrats by two points. The Democrats need a net gain of seven seats to regain control from the Republicans. Several tight Senate races also showed movement in the past 24 hours. -- In New York, Democratic first lady Hillary Rodham Clinton held a three-point lead over Republican Rick Lazio, 48 percent to 45 percent. -- In Missouri, the late Gov. Mel Carnahan, whose wife says she would serve in his place if he won, held a slight lead over Republican Sen. John Ashcroft 47-45 percent. Carnahan was killed in a plane crash on Oct. 16 but his name remains on the ballot. -- In Florida, Democrat Bill Nelson's lead over Republican Bill McCollum has suddenly shrunk to a single point, 44-43 percent. Nelson had held a seemingly secure lead but it has melted away in the past two days. -- In Washington state, Democrat Maria Cantwell has sprung into a seven-point lead over Republican Sen. Slade Gorton,50-43 percent. Gorton had previously led the race. -- In Michigan, Democrat Debbie Stabenow was a little ahead of Republican Sen. Spencer Abraham, 47-45 percent.
