there aren't 500k execs for every 500k 'hippies' though. the rich guy (200k+ a year) is vastly outnumbered by the lower classes.

i get the feeling this race is much closer than the polls suggest, even with an "11 point lead". by the time november rolls around kerry will have regained enough ground to make it unlikely for bush to win barring terror attacks, another new pre-emptive strike, or other suprises.



I didn't see the poll, but what was the margin of error? 3-5% is not out of line which means it is still close. And the example of 500,000 hippies vs execs isn't the best example. How about 500,000 hippies vs 125,000,000 conservative christians?
