This election is so unusual that I'm sure many of the pollsters
will have
egg on their faces. Many new first-time voters are being left out
of the
numbers. And, many people will not really say how they will vote.
I think
it will be late into Tuesday night before we know.

Before you get your hopes up, remember that picture of Truman in '48
holding
up a Chicago paper w/ the headline "Dewey Defeats Truman".
Unfortunately,
you can't always trust the polls. I'm not being cynical here, just
realistic.
