Man, it's nerve racking! electoral-vote.com is showing Kerry ahead by a single electoral vote. Meta-Analysis of State Polls – election.princeon.edu with somewhat more sophisticated statistical methods is predicting Kerry 311/Bush 227. The Iowa electronic market which had shown Bush ahead for the last few months is now closing towards dead even.
As a disenfranchised expatriate living in the U.S. it is frustrating not being able to vote. Though I did help the literacy student I am tutoring to register to vote, and I am going with her to the polls this afternoon to help guide her through the process. And as an extra bonus she is mostly going to vote the way I would (I was as objective in my tutoring, honest!)
