Maybe it was his little riff in French

Jim Garaghty is almost as giddy as Hugh Hewitt about the polls coming in today. Bush up by 3 in Florida.

I'm not going to relax until this thing is over with next January. Voting has already started, so the result is smeared over weeks. A single poll doesn't tell us as much as it used to about what the election results are. With all the speculations about fraud, new registrations, faulty voting systems and lawyers paratrooping into close states, I'm not sure that anybody can be sure about anything. We really aren't equipped to deal with voter fraud, especially after the Bush v. Gore opinion which should have smacked down the Florida Supreme Court and just handed it back to their Secretary of State. What if there really is voter fraud? As Clinton's campaign justified its illegal fundraising in 1996, once you've won it really can't be undone. So if Kerry wins, will we spend the next four years reading about how his stole the election? I wouldn't be surprised.
