I agree with most of what you're saying here -- the election will be a na=
il-biter -- but I think we need to distinguish between prediction and ana=
lysis. Nostradamus does the former; John Zogby does the latter. =20
To illustrate:
Next November, a tornado will sweep across the countryside, pick up a hou=
se, and drop it on your sister. This will annoy you mightily, and you an=
d some flying monkeys will spend the next several days trying to track do=
wn the former occupant of the house with an eye toward snatching her red =
shoes and drowning her dog. You'll fail, done in by a bucket of cold wat=
er. George Bush will be sent back to Texas, and the people will close th=
eir eyes and whisper happily, "There's no place like home." This is a pr=
ediction.
The world has gone from black and white to Technicolor. Glenda the Good =
Witch has flown down from the North. There are a lot of little people ou=
t in the yard singing "Ding, Dong, The Witch is Dead." I conclude from t=
his evidence that it's the second Wednesday in November, that George Bush=
has been sent back to Texas, and that we're not in Guantanamo anymore. =
This is an analysis. =20
Who says 'The Wizard of Oz' is not a political fable? L. Frank Baum, tha=
t's who!
