(Tucker Carlson). As a rule, I don't put that much stock in the words of a grown man who still wears a bow tie.

There's only a bow-tie's worth of difference between Tucker Carlson and Margaret Carlson. And Margaret is prettier.

It's nice to see Lawrence O'Donnell's vote, must be hard to fill out one's choice in a straight jacket.

You know, I have been following RCP for over a year. I am highly disappointed that they refuse to give Florida to Bush. They base it on the fact that no one has hit the magic 50% in averages, I guess.
They've been stuck on that damn 232 for Bush forever.
Get a life, Realclearpolitics!

Tcuker Carlson is the DEFINITION of a girlyman. Proves any party can have them. (I'm not saying that because he's predicting Kerry but because he's boring and has zero political insight.)

does anyone know what has happened to John McLaughlin? I gave up on him years ago, but what is his problem?

Tucker is just pi$$ed that he was outed by Jon Stewart for being a girly-man.

Zogby and the NYT are ruining the curve, otherwise Fla would be red.

Same here in Minnesota; Zogby and the Red Star and Sickle are ruining the curve.

I don't much follow what the "pundits" say. Most of them simply stoke their own tremendous egos and are more often wrong then right.

I'm with Bill Kristol! Bush will win much bigger than expected! Take this from someone who predicted the huge 2002 GOP tsunami, when most were whimpering.

RCP can't average polls anyway. Each poll has different methodology, sample sizes, etc. So an average is worthless. May as well be averaging pro and college football scores.
