although in national polls the race appears to be tight, the polling in individual states that are still in play looks most encouraging for the president. most of these states, with the exception of florida and ohio were won by the inventor of the internet in 2000. states that bill clinton won easily such as minnesota, wisconcin, hawaii, pennsylvania, new jersey, and new hampshire have turned into battleground states for the 2004 election. quite simply, president bush is making inroads on democratic turf. my prediction for the electoral college is as follows: bush 291, kerry 247.
