Too close to call, but never to late to pray. Dear Lord, please help us send the cowboy back to his ranch in Texas. Amen.
The polls are all over the place.
Some tracking polls showed Bush with a small lead, a few polls showed the candidates tied, and some showed Kerry with a small lead.
Free-market measures didn't make the picture any clearer. The Iowa Electronic Markets showed Bush in the lead, as they have for several weeks. But that lead has narrowed steadily in recent days (the IEM contracts failed to predict the outcome of the 2000 election, calling for a popular-vote landslide for Bush).
Although the IEM shows folks betting with their pocketbooks, today I going with the traders of crude-oil futures. They seem to be betting on a victory by Kerry, believing he'd stop filling up the nation's strategic petroleum reserve. Such trading helped oil sink below $50 a barrel, always good news, regardless of the cause.
