Tied in the top of the 9th, extra innings possible

Today, 10 days before the election, the latest polls show not only the popular vote tied, but the Electoral College vote tied too.

All those states with a white center are states where either candidate's lead is within the margin of error. That makes it even crazier:

strong kerry  	 Strong Kerry (88 votes)

weak kerry Weak Kerry (124)
barely kerry Barely Kerry (52)
tied Exactly tied (10)
barely bush Barely Bush (55)
weak bush Weak Bush (62)
strong bush Strong Bush (147)

The site's editor goes on to say that one of the most important, yet neglected, issues in this election is the very likely possibility that the next President will get to appoint more than one Supreme Court justice. That is the main reason I'm voting. Who cares about Kerry for four years or eight? I care about the makeup of the Supreme Court for the next 25 years.
