That's because there's nothing regarding McCain in the headlines since he's not running against anyone.

What about Real Clear Politics? I am begining to think that they are a Republican Hack site- and they claim to be "Independent".

After their (hilarious) 2000 prediction, I'm pretty sure it's clear where their allegiances lie.

I think they may have predicted California for Bush.  It was before the DUI incident, but still, c'mon.

Haha, thanks.  California wasn't even near the best part about that.

"The truth is that George W. Bush has a better chance of carrying New Jersey and Vermont than Al Gore does of becoming the next President of the United States."  Hehehe.

My candidate is realer, honester, smarter, faster, thinner, younger, happier, taller, sexier, sager, nicer and more presidential than your candidate...

...what a coincidence that my candidate happens to agree with me, too.

NO. I'll grant you younger and thinner and happier, but Mike Gravel's little finger is realer, honester, smarter, faster, taller, sexier, sager, nicer and more presidential than all the Barack McClintons of the world combined!

Pretty much anyone who went by Rasmussen thought that.  Rasmussen had Gore up in twelve states total.

i remember my 2000 prediction.  i was off too.  i was hoping for a bush victory, but i was nervous as heck.

i thought pa and mi were gone (i was right)

i thought bush would win nm (wrong)

i thought bush would win florida (wrong)

and i was really worried about wv.  i thought gore would get by there (wrong)
