There's two weeks to go an anything can happen in the campaign for the Presidency. If you follow the polls, the race is either a dead heat or Bush has a marginal lead. But that's in the national poll, or the "popular vote", which as we know, doesn't mean squat. Bush is making up ground in large states like New York and California and new Democrat registrants are undercounted which skews the national polls towards him, but he is behind in the Electoral College, if you believe the results on electoral-vote.com, the only thing that matters.

What I don't want is a situation like 2000 where Kerry wins the Electoral College and Bush wins the Popular Vote. Hopefully it won't happen like that, but you never know. Then we'll really see the true colors of the conservatives. If they let it go, they'll seem honorable. If they contest the election on that basis, we'll know what they are truly made of.

However, what's even more scary is the chance for a contested election in any of the close battleground states, Florida or otherwise, that will throw the result to one party or the other. Then we will have a recipe for chaos.
