And now, less than three hours after moving Florida into Bush's column, the Slate electoral cartographers have moved it back to Kerry and also shifted Wisconsin to Bush, so they have the election tied at 269-269…possibly the most chilling outcome possible.
None of this is because potential voters are changing their minds. It's because different polls are being announced in different orders, and the prognosticators are treating teensy fluctuations like they mean something.
This is real silly. The Slate folks even say, "…if you don't like that projection, just wait an hour." Part of me would like to chug-a-lug about six bottles of Nyquil and wake up when all this is over. I'm just afraid six bottles would only get me about three days into the recounts.
