FT.com | Polls say Bush could face electoral college defeat

"The candidates in the 2004 presidential election return to Florida this weekend, amid a blur of polls suggesting that George W. Bush could suffer Al Gore's fate in 2000, winning the popular vote but losing the White House battle in the electoral college."

I would add a disclaimer to that statement: it isn't at all clear that Bush won the electoral college vote in 2000. He simply won the supreme court's vote.

We're hoping that it isn't the Supreme Court that casts the winning ballot again. With things are shaky as they are in Florida and Colorado, I think that we my once again be waiting until December to announce a winner.
