Interesting article on MSN on US economy - more interesting however is the vote button - when I voted it said Kerry 57%, Bush
41%

Just a little something to keep the Neocons pushing buttons all weekend to even upt he score.

That is just silly if it allows you or me to vote. We totally skew the results as we can't vote in the actual election.

But, I pushed Kerry for the same reason you did....even though I want to see Bush win.

sheesh Curval I was hoping to get the neocons hopped up and indignant so they spent all weekend trying to get Bush's numbers higher than 41%.

It's not scientific because it's non-random and can include multiple voting and/or people who aren't even eligible to vote. Enjoy it if it floats your boat, but understand that it means nothing.

I think that JibJab should play on the computer vote screen before you are allowed to enter your choice.

Extremely interesting as most internet polls tend to lean conservative. Of course, until the debates, it hard to say how close this will be, but I think its shaping up to be a squeaker.
