The country is about evenly divided between Dems and Reps (which is pretty amazing in and of itself) so a handful of voters in a couple of states (Florida and PA come to mind) could make all the difference this year. Unless one of the candidates implodes, this could be another 2000....a very close thing.

I'm not so sure it will be close. The popular vote will not be close imho, it will be a moratorium against Bush, we are seeing the kind of turnout we get from the primaries already. The "split vote" logic comes from a few states which were close in 2000 like FLA, OH, NV, MI, PA which will NOT be close in 04 imho. Unfortunately for Bush, the worst economic states are the close ones. He can't win there, even in the unlikely event TN and the Carolinas agree with his war policy.

Re: "The very bad thing is that now there are questions across the country about voting whether it's paper or anything more new fangled."

Somehow, I don't see that as a bad thing. Democrats are well known to have been producing voters from graveyards. Cheating has been going on for a long time, in all likelihood. It is good that questions are asked and efforts to follow the procedures which can resolve the issues, are made.
