Final Poll Round Up: Ahead in 7, Tied in 2, Behind in 2

But President is above crucial 50% mark in only a single poll

I don't know how much that last tid-bit matters. You don't really need to be above 50%; you need to be above around 49%.

The Washington Times digests the final polls.

I'm going to say it right now: I'm worried. Very worried. I think that Bush is actually a little behind at the moment, and I think he's going to have to have an awfully good day to win this thing.

Not to be a defeatist-- hey, it's Voting Day. Not much left to do (except vote, of course-- have you voted?) But I've got to be honest-- I've been quietly predicting a Bush loss for a week.

(Well, as those who routinely call me a big fat defeatist wussy might argue, I've been predicting that via subtext for a month.)

Bush needs almost all his potential voters to actually pull the lever for him. If the Patriotic Majority does so, he will win. If a lot of his voters decide, as they did in 2000, that maybe voting isn't so important, he'll almost certainly lose.

I know how you feel Ace. I haven't slept in a month myself. But I still feel Bush will win, no matter how thin the margin. It all comes down to Ohio. Whomever wins Ohio, wins the game!

I voted bright and early. The trouble being, I'm in California. The relevance of casting my ballot for Bush is in some doubt, here.

Still, I voted. And soon this will be over and I can breathe again.

I think the guys that were under 50 who lost were at like 39 and 40 it was substantially down. 50 is some stupid ass benchmark.
I think the most stupid of all the questions is the Right direction Wrong Direction question. I can think things are going in the wrong direction and still vote Bush. If I think they are going wrong because of gay marriage and embryonic stem cell research and the price of tea in China that is not necessarily an indicator of voting out and incumbent.

Update on Scott Adams:
Scott Adams had approval for this cancer drug but they hadn't scheduled him to get it. He was taking a turn for the worse. Trump had told him to call if he needed anything, so he did. Talked to Don Jr (who is in Africa) , then RFK Jr, then Dr Oz. Someone talked to Kaiser and he was scheduled. Shouldn't have needed it but he did and he says it saved his life.

Schmoll: 53% of New Jersey likely voters say their neighbors are voting for Ciattarelli, while 47% say the cheater/grifter Mikie Sherrill
The "who do you think your neighbors are voting for" question is designed to avoid the Shy Tory problem, wherein conservative people lie to schmollsters because they don't want to go on record with a likely left-winger telling them who they're really voting for. So instead the question is who do you think your neighbors are voting for, so people can talk about who they themselves support without actually having to admit it to a left-wing rando stranger recording their answers on the phone.

Interesting football history: How the forward pass was created in response to the nineteen -- 19! -- people killed playing football in 1905 alone
The original rules of football did not allow forward passes. The ball was primarily advanced by running, with blockers forming lines with interlocked arms and just smashing into the similarly-interlocked defensive lines. It was basically Greek hoplite spear formations but with a semi-spherical ball. As calls to ban the sport entirely grew, some looked for ways to de-emphasize mass charges as the primary means of advancing the ball, and some specifically championed allowing a passer to throw the ball forward.
