EDM has the good news:

On the eve of the 2nd presidential debate, Senator John Kerry is ahead or in statistical tie with President Bush in all 16 "battleground states," according to a new poll by Zogby Interactive, conducted 9/30 to 10/5 for the Wall St. Journal.

Kerry LV leads (%): AR 0.2; FL 0.4; IA 6.6; MI 9.7; MN 8.3; NV 1.0; NH 6.6; NM 11.4; OH 0.3; OR 10.1; PA 5.4; WA 9.9; and WI 2.5.

Bush LV leads (%): MO 2.2, TN 0.9 and WV 6.1.

According to the analysis of the Zogby Poll published in the Wall St. Journal, "Mr. Kerry holds leads outside the margin of error in 6 states...None of Mr. Bush's leads are outside the margin."

Newscycles until November 2 and turnout, turnout, turnout. Even Salto's Own Mom, who is not particularly politically active, has volunteered to drive voters to the polls in crucial swing state Wisconsin. Maybe you have relatives living somewhere where they could make a difference?

...Andy Sullivan thinks that a Kerry landslide is the most likely outcome at this point, based on post-debate polling numbers showing undecideds breaking 2-1 for Kerry.
