A state to watch: On November 2, we will be watching the state of Virginia to get a sense of how each candidate is doing. Although Bush is ahead there, the
poll numbers have been fairly close for a red state. Obviously, if it goes for Kerry, it's all over for Bush. But a close result - say withing two percentage points - will probably indicate a Kerry win nationwide. (Bush is 3% ahead as of today, according to
electoral-vote.com) Also, Virginia numbers should be released early, what with it being on the east coast, so it's an early signal of the trends.
Here's our plan for election night: If the Virginia numbers look good for Kerry, we immediately order a huge everything-on-it pizza, pig out, and sleep easy that night.

I voted by absentee paper ballot for Kerry Edwards Socas last week. I live in one of the most conservative sections of the state. I am shocked at the number of Kerry Edwards Socas yard signs or the number of Wolfe (our Repub congressman) with no accompanying Bush/Cheney yard signs. Not exactly a scientific sampling, but it probably equals Gallup's polling science. It certainly is interesting!
