Presidential Relations

As if the tight polls aren't enough excitement, we're looking at the possibility of MA vs. TX in the World Series, with game seven (if necessary) being played two days before the election. Fortunately for Kerry, MA is in incredibly blue state. So even if everyone in the whole state is drunk off their ass and they neglect to vote, he'll probably still win.



In other news, Bush and Kerry are distant cousins. As interesting as that is, I'm more interested in the names right in the middle of the Bush lineage. Gallup? Hm. That might help explain the skewed numbers Gallup always releases.

Not that polls count for much, anyway. They're a pretty good indicator, within 10 points or so. In other words, in this election, they're completely useless.
