"it'll be kerry by a landslide"
at the burbank airport this morning i was in line at an auto rental counter. a man in front of me saw the kerry - edwards button on my coat. he said, "you've got a kerry - edwards button, good for you. it'll be kerry by a landslide." a woman in line turned towards him and asked, "can i hold you to it?" i said to them both that i expect the election will not be as close as the tight horserace the media is selling us as the big campaign story. a woman who had just walked up and was getting in line behind me said, "we have to get rid of that corrupt, evil man in the white house." i grinned at the spontaneous poll result: four random passengers and no votes for bush.
