| | Polling Open Thread II. Tracking polls are here: Bush Kerry Zogby 48 48 Sunday TIPP 45 44 Saturday Rasmussen 47.9 47.1 Saturday WaPo 49 48 Saturday The tracking polls will be updated throughout the day. Did I ever mention Bush is stuck at 48? Don't miss mattb25's thorough state-by-state poll analysis below, also quoted by Kevin Drum and who knows where else. Don't miss this NY Times article on the guy Bush has been ignoring: In dozens of interviews on Friday and Saturday in five hotly contested states, such steely sentiments were echoed again and again. Supporters of Mr. Bush said the bin Laden tape had strengthened their resolve to vote Republican by reminding them of the grave threats still faced by the country, while Mr. Kerry's supporters said the tape was yet another reminder that the Bush administration had failed to catch Mr. bin Laden. Even the undecided said the tape would not influence their decision. Indeed, with passions raised to such a pitch by this election, and with many people already committed to their choices, Mr. bin Laden and his blustering postures may have achieved a strange and remarkable feat: making himself irrelevant, despite the analysis of some political operatives that his tape could affect the election, to Mr. Bush's benefit in particular. And as to OBL's irrelevence to the election, don't you believe it. People are pissed he's still out there, even if it seems unseemly to talk about it. Mr. Bush is likely to be informed of that on Tuesday in a big way. | |

| | Terri Mentioned in the Washington Post. Here is the relevant excerpt from the article:
While Glavin is a veteran campaigner, volunteering over the years for various Democratic hopefuls, many of the expat volunteers said they had never worked for a political campaign. Others, such as Terri McMillan, had not even voted before. McMillan, who has lived in Japan for eight years, is a member of the Tokyo-based Sunshine and Alligators group, a band of 11 volunteers working to get the vote out and ensure voting rights are protected in Central Florida. | |
