Tighter, ever tighter.
Michael Goldman, who I don't think has ever missed a sunrise, sends
along the
last New Hampshire tracking poll
from the American Research Group. It's now Kerry, 35 percent, Dean,
25 percent - an eight-point drop for Kerry since yesterday. Combined
with yesterday's
Zogby poll, showing a
three-point spread, and it's pretty clear that predictions are
futile.
Although Mickey
Kaus says that the latest
Zogby numbers - not up on the Web as I write this - show Kerry
holding a larger lead than he did yesterday. Read down and you'll see
that Zogby changed his methodology to come up with Kerry's narrow
three-point lead. Is the Z-man now getting cold feet?
Caught a Dean town meeting from
Phillips Exeter Academy on C-SPAN
last night. He came across as relaxed and much more articulate in
explaining his program than he had during the past month or so. If he
loses, it may turn out that his decision to embrace the party
establishment in the form of Al Gore, Bill Bradley, Tom Harkin, and
the like was his undoing. The Dean on display last night could have
won. Perhaps he still will, although it certainly seems like Kerry's
to lose.
Have barely seen the morning
papers, and now it's off to New Hampshire, for a Kerry meet-and-greet
at a polling station, and perhaps for Lieberman and Clark events as
well. Pat
Whitley of WRKO Radio (AM
680) is broadcasting from the Manchester Union Leader today,
and I'm supposed to pop up there sometime between 10 and 11
a.m.
