Great article in the New York Times today (and this one seems to be non-made-up) about the huge number of new voters that are getting registered this year.
NY Times: A Big Increase of Voters

Basically, pollsters (who are predicting a VERY VERY close presidential race, maybe even closer than 2000) don't call newly registered voters. But with record numbers of new people signing up, and since the margin of victory in some states is only a few thousand votes... these new people are a huge x-factor.
And, good news for all of you eriklove.com Democrats and weak-kneed liberals: looks like Kerry voters make up the bulk of new registrations. Make sure you get registered and vote, kids! This is huge!
Hope you've had a good weekend -- I've been a bit bogged down with the start of the school year here in lovely Santa Barbara. Fear not, the most important blog ever will continue to bring you extremely relevant information as soon as it becomes available. Don't touch that address bar.
