Random Thoughts about Tomorrow.

I am not a political person. I always vote in the National elections. I usually vote in state elections. I sometimes but not always vote in local elections. I really believe that tomorrows election may be the most important election I have witnessed in my lifetime.

A few weeks ago I read a news story about the accuracy of polls. The person being interviewed said the one group that they can't poll are those who have given up traditional phone service for cell only service. And that most of that group is young and "they don't vote anyway" so the pollsters are not really worried about their polls being inaccurate due to that demographic not being polled.

As of today Bush leads Kerry by ONE PERCENT.

Today I saw this in a Reuters news feed:

Kerry was favored by young voters -- those between the ages of 18 and 29 --
by 64 percent to 35 percent, but the size of the turnout in that voting bloc
is one of the biggest unknowns of Tuesday's election.

Zogby said he was calculating young voters would account for 12 percent of
the total vote, but a larger share would be a boost for the Massachusetts
senator. "Each point it goes higher translates into two-thirds of a percent
for Kerry if these numbers hold up," Zogby said.

If you are reading this blog and you fall into that demographic and were not planning to vote tomorrow. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE reconsider. And pass the word.

The only thing scarier to me at this point than Bush being re-elected is the possibility of him being joined in the senate by Pete ("lets lower the drinking age to 18 so I can make more money") Coors.

Now go read what Theresa wrote today.
