The bumper stickers were about $2.50, IIRC.  This, however, is an example of applied intelligence.

I was trying to make a subtle jab saying that anyone can buy these stickers Smiley



I think they require a membership number and the license plate frames fade.  They also don't serve as an example of implied intelligence.

So far, my close prediction of PA seems to be coming true.

Guess we won't get a test of whether "Traditional" or "Expanded" is a superior model, then.

Still picking up more voters in "Traditional", too (barely).

Also worth noting: Gallup is forecasting turnout at 64% of VAP, the highest since 1908 (!).

Well, one can hope. What would that be, 145 million or so?

I'm not sure (fixed the post, by the way, would be highest since 1908, not 1956). I'm also not sure if it's VAP or a colloquial usage of the term "voting-age population" to refer to VEP (voting-eligible population, i.e. only legal residents and non-felons plus citizens abroad), which is generally more precise in the modern era. But VEP and VAP converge once you get back to the 1980s or so, so it would still be the highest turnout in terms of VAP/VEP since 1908.

Hey JJ, didn't mean to be quite so abusive last night, had had a few too many drinks. Still think you post a lot of hackish rubbish, but there was no need to be so rude. sorry 'bout that.

I'm not getting into the fight but there is no way to tell a person's intelligence based on things like predictions or internet posts.

From Gallup:

"While only 4% of voters remain undecided in Gallup's unallocated likely voter model, the final poll estimates that a slightly larger 10% of likely voters still have the potential to either change their mind or make up their mind. Even if McCain converts the vast majority of swing voters, victory for him would be highly unlikely since 51% of likely voters say they are certain to vote for Obama compared with 39% who say they are sure they will vote for McCain."

Gallup must be certain of what they're doing here. They're basically putting their entire reputation on the line here. If the election is close, they are gonna look like fools.

Here's hoping that they're spot on!
