Altered Reality

So far we've spent all our time looking at so called "legit" polls from the likes of Zogby, Gallup, Harris, and the like, and I'm fed up with it. I mean, how much can these polls really tell us? The undecideds are still undecided, and the swing voters could still lean either way.

Luckily for us, there are a couple of far more accurate ways to measure the outcome of this election!

First, the bookies. It seems that recent indicators from online bookies show Bush with a lead in the election. Thats right, you can gamble on the election. Now, the article raises some points about the political background of the people who would be likely to actually gamble on a US Presidential election (or senate!) but I'm going to hold off from my rapier commentary. What I'm not going to hold off on, however, is saying that I bet this new fad will be a smashing success!!!

Well, once you've finished placing your wagers, you undecideds, you should go ask your children what they think, because they know better than they do. According to a Nickelodean poll, kids in the country think Kerry is going to win the election. And this isn't child's play (haha, rapier!!!) either, as the poll has predicted the last four elections!!!

So its a good idea to remember that while some pollsters are trying to figure out which way people are actually going to vote in the elections, others are doing far more entertaining things that may actually tell us more about who is going to win. Although, since I give you two conflicting reports, this entire article should probably cancel itself out.

Speaking of being canceled and taking bets, anyone want to put a few bucks on The Benefactor?
