In a two person contest, without Nader, Kerry leads Bush 49% to 48% in WA Post poll. Nader is on the ballot in very few states so this is a good representation of the race at this time.

Ah, finally the screwball analyst who can explain away bad poll numbers.... Whew, for a minute there I thought Kerry had lost based on this POLL! What is it with people fiollowing polls? They don't mean crap. It is an engineered business that has been thrust into the light and somehow it has won credibility. Polls. Waste of time.
