As the race progresses, Dilby predicts that Kerry will make a strong comeback in California and other key states that may tip the race.

Dilby sounds somewhat like a doorknob. No one has put CA into Bush's column to this point, so a rally there can not help Jean Fraude.

Dilby predicts that Kerry will make a strong comeback in California....

I would have to disagree. California will be in play for most of the rest of the campaign season, virutally a see-saw battle, and it will come through for Bush on Election Night.

[Notwithstanding]

Why would "dilby" bother to predict "a strong comeback in California" when that state is irrelevant and known to be a John Faux Kerry lock?

And about the "other key states that may tip the race": on what basis other than your leftward liberal pining hope would you predict that? There is no objective rationale for that prediction, especially when the GOP Convention bounce has not even occurred!

Dilby is a fool.

"Many ask why are Dilby's stats rounded out four decimal places and the answer is that many polls do not give you the full decimal, they often round. Dilby is providing Americans with the most accurate Presidential analysis information available."

No, Dilby gives a false impression of accuracy by going way past the number of decimal places that can be accurately measured where the margin of error is +/-4%.

Not saying the poll is off, just that measuring something with a yardstick and treating the data like it came from an electron microscope doesn't make it any more accurate.

If it's September almost and Kerry has to be coming back in Cali then he is a dead man already and just looking around trying to find a place to die

END OF KERRY. END OF STORY!!

Dilby.com complies data from various known and unknown polls across the country (including Hawaii and Alaska ), in addition to gathering Internet data from various web-pollers.

And web-polls are now presumed to be accurate and scientifically valid?

Wow, I got massacred for displaying 2 digits after the decimal on my (obviously superior - ;) ) analysis on Federal Review. Good luck.
