I read a piece yesterday that suggested Kerry may have a problem getting the vote out. It's premise, which I very much agree with, is that the Democrats are unified in their dislike of Bush. They are not in love with Kerry but thought he could beat Bush. They said that combo was going to make it difficult for Kerry to swing the undecided's and Nader voters and would also make trouble for him in getting the vote out which he very much needs. This is the most polarized election I can remember. The left's hatred of Bush is just incredible. It's all consuming it seems. If Bush pulls out a win I can't imagine what these people are going to do for the next 4 years.

The Kerryites will deride it as Drudge spin, but if true, this demonstrates how polls should be taken with a grain of salt.
