One poll story today, and then it's tracking poll cold turkey until next week. Seriously. We can quit at any time.

Reuters Poll: Bush Holds Two-Point Lead Over Kerry

The latest tracking detail from John Zogby finds a couple of interesting things. President Bush is polling measurably stronger in the "red states" than he did at this time in 2000. At the same time, John Kerry is polling measurably weaker in the "blue states" than Al Gore at this time four years ago.

Bush is polling better with women than he did four years ago. He's polling better with independents (according to Zogby.)

The Kerry strategy at this point seems to be two-fold: Win Ohio, and hire better lawyers in Florida.

After all this campaigning, debating, negative advertising and around-the-clock ad hominem attacks: it's come to this. Elmer Fudd and the stellar Florida electoral system.
