Off Day

I know that I've been keeping you guys on the edge of your seats the past few days, so I'm going to try and cool things off today and not give you anything important. The problem is, there are some important polls that were released Tuesday, and I have to show them to you, I mean, its my job, right? (Don't answer that)

So I'm going to try something interesting. I'm going to mix serious polling news in with the frivolous, superficial dreck you all have come to expect from reality television. Maybe it'll hold your interest, for once.

1. First of all, Bush is maintaining a slim lead in polls. As we've seen the past few days, this lead might not transfer over to the electoral college - could this be a repeat of the 2000 election?

2. Hey, the BBC is running an online poll on your favorite celebrity! Help out Lindsay Lohan guys, she only has 5 percent!

3. Bush has managed to almost double his popularity amoung blacks - an impressive acomplishment to say the least. I wonder exactly what is going on here - it would be interesting to find out where he was getting this boost from. I have a feeling evangelicals across race lines will probably be supporting the President.

4. And I thought you might just be interested to know that Forbes was running an online poll on which celebrity is most overrated! Sorry, all of them isn't an answer.

5. Finally, there is a really good election tracking page over at Washington Post.

So now comes the inevitable part where I have to explain myself and why I did whatever zany thing I did today. I could say, well, if you were to look at those celebrity polls, that the numbers of people voting are high, real high, that the numbers of people voting in those polls are higher than just the hits the Washington Post election tracker is probably getting. I could say that, but then I'd be trying to extract meaning from something that is devoid of it. And that would be silly!!!
