Great...
On top of following the polls in 10 or 15 battleground states, we'd be following the polls in about 100 battleground CDs:
"Currently Bush has pulled ahead in WI-1, but he's fallen behind now in FL-2, as well as in CA-22. So currently, we have 120 CDs Strong Bush, 54 more Weak Bush, 76 tossup, 46 Weak Kerry, and 139 Strong Kerry. There are 6 Strong Kerry states + DC, 7 Weak Kerry states, 15 Tossup states, 7 Weak Bush States, and 15 Strong Bush states. So in toto, the current the polls are showing:
Strong Bush: 150
Weak Bush: 68
Tossup: 106
Weak Kerry: 60
Strong Kerry: 154"
And could you imagine the election night coverage??? As each CD comes in and fills a gigantic map that you need an HDTV to make sense of? The two-week wait while those 20 or 30 too-close-to-call CDs have manual recounts?
Great for us political junkies.
Bad for democracy.
