All the hoopla over the swing states, has left those of us in the states that pollsters say are solid for candidate X, just a little out of the loop. Because it has been determined by polling that South Carolina is going to be won by Bush, neither candidate feels any real reason to spend any money here. We are not even going to get a brief airport runway rally while their plane refuels on its way to Ohio or Florida. If this sort of thing gets much worse, Asimov may have been spot on with a story he wrote in 1955 called Franchise. In the then future, polls and the giant computer Multivac will winnow out all the unnecessary people who they have determined to vote one way or the other and pick just one individual to choose the next president.
