Remember the infamous ‘Heidi Bowl’ of 1968?

“As a pollster right now I couldn’t poll from Virginia up to New Hampshire, it would be a total blackout,” he said. “All of New England is off the board, so you’re going into this last weekend basically not knowing,” he said.

As they say, polls don’t win elections and blogging is not campaigning. Time to get active and get out the vote.
