I'm starting to view polls like I do sonograms

Sure, it is nice to know the sex of your baby before it is born, but where is the fun in that? I mean really.

I *kind of* wish that we were flying blind without all the daily polls and projections.

It would make election day that much more exciting and perhaps drive turnout and increase voter participation in the whole process leading up to the election. I know I know, it would be easier to steal it, but damn if that didn't make any freaking difference for theft in 2000 or 2004.

I just *kind of* miss the drama of it all on election night.

Anyone else *kind of* wish we just didn't know the sex of this baby till it is delivered on 11/4?

1. HA! That's one perspective I never considered. I like reading crosstabs.

I don't get to hang out with lots of different types of voters, so these crosstabs are really intriguing.

2. The sex of a baby doesn't really matter, though.

I think the suspense of this election would KILL me.
