Lets not forget about the election predictions of Bush vs Gore. I went to bed believeing Gore had the victory bcause that's waht the media projected, recounts proved Bush had it. Just this past fall, it appeared early on to be a close race...wake up and find it was closer to a landslide for Obama. Projections only go so far...I prefer the hard data myself. Cornelius, good points.
