Fact:

George W. Bush on June 14, 2006:

I feel confident we will hold the House and the Senate.

George W. Bush on February 25, 2008:

I'm confident we'll hold the White House in 2008.

You have to like those odds.

A few weeks ago, during some state's primary voting (I forget whose), pundits were very surprised that the results turned out so very different from all poll opinions previously. Newscasters were asking all kinds of questions about how the polling could have been so wrong... except, "Is it possible that the polls were right and the vote count was wrong?"

I don't know if this state was using electronic or hand counts. Still, electronic fraud was my first thought. Sad. I'd trust pollsters over our voting system.
