Kerry is creeping ahead again

[prog]

according to electoral-vote.com. It may be more correct to say that Bush's bounce has faded; there are too many toss-ups, but he doesn't seem to be obviously ahead any more, not even like he was just a couple of days ago (according to that same site). I have only started to hit that page daily; is this actually the end of a trend, directly corresponding to Kerry's long-overdue focus on Iraq?

My money's on another Orange Alert next Sunday.

If the 16 electoral votes (Maryland and Arkansas) that are "exactly tied" all go to Bush, then it'll be 269-269!

my money's on the Bush Administration suddenly producing a "newly captured" Osama Bin Ladin in the next few weeks.

The biggest problem I have with this site is that they mix up all different polling sources. It would be nice to see the breakdown based on polling source but I suspect no one polling source covers the entire nation in a timely manner.

Interesting map though. Kerry's stronghold is topographically quite small. All he has is the west coast, New England states, the upper mid-west, and maybe Florida (Hawaii too for some reason). Bush has the huge block of land smack-dab in the center and Alaska (probably because of the oil industry there).
