Dave you need to take a deep breath and relax.
I wonder, if the POA poll showed a dead heat, how much more active people would have got, if they didn't think Bush was going to crush Gore.
No need to be Chicken Little, but while George Bush has the power of likeability, the incumbancy, the war chest, talk radio, there are some things Kerry has going in his favor. The liberal media, the 527's like Move-on, George Soros, etc.
My gut feeling is that this is going to be 2000 all over again. Neither candidate will get 300 electoral college votes. This race will be based on which base is more motivated, does the get out the vote, does the phone banks. Sobering news, put in perspective, can only make activists work that much harder.
