huh. I haven't seen wild changes in the polling numbers, mostly because 
when I see things like 47 v 45, I see the margin of error there and see: 
tied. If the next week it's 45 v 47, it's still tied b/c of the margin of 
error. (Like Michael Pollak, I think the numbers for Nader will drop like a 
rock on Nov. 2 b/c people are more interested in making a statement, now, 
than in actually risking a Shrub election then)

I was jsut wondering if anyone else thought maybe it was some slick 
propaganda put out by the Dems as well as whether anyone had examined the 
methodology. The web site Guilherme pointed out to says that he's a Kerry 
supporter, but that he's bent over backward to be fair.
