The Kerry landlide will happen when the networks declare Florida, Ohio and Pennsylvania for Kerry.
The nasty fights will be in Wisconsin and Minnesota. They can't decide the election but Republican lawyers are prepared to take the batteles to courts for several months in order to de-legitimize the new Democratic administration.

Something is stirring,
Shifting ground …
It's just begun.
Edges are blurring
All around,
And yesterday is done.

Feel the flow,
Hear what's happening:
WE'RE what's happening!
Long ago
All we had was that funny feeling,
Saying someday we'd send him reeling,
Now it looks like we can!
Someday just began...
very uplifting. tonight i saw death cab for cutie and pretty girls make waves as part of the vote for change tour, and i thought to myself... if everyone on this giant field of twentysomethings votes... we could really be a movement. it's one thing to look at pie charts and another to see people in the flesh. two more days, guys... let's send a force of positivity out into the universe and make it happen!
interesting note:
American President George W. Bush has topped an unlikely poll in Britain - as this year's top screen villain. Bush won the dubious accolade for his unauthorized appearance in Michael Moore's anti-Bush documentary Fahrenheit 9/11. The politician beat out the likes of Doc Ock, played by Alfred Molina, in Spider-Man 2; The Texas Chainsaw Massacre's Leatherface; Andy Serkis' Gollum from Lord Of The Rings trilogy; and Elle Driver, the assassin played by Daryl Hannah in Kill Bill. Almost 10,000 people voted in the poll, conducted by Total Film Magazine.

Because they're still using those antiquated 20th-century polling methods. This election is going to destroy the polling industry--unless new techniques like Zogby's cell-phone messaging can be inorprated into their models.
If there is indeed a Kerry landslide, it may indeed turn out to have been a Kerry lead all along and not a sudden development. If that's the case, it's the end of the polls as we've known them.
if there is indeed a kerry landslide
is this a step back from the previous confident proclamations of an assured kerry landslide?
No. It's called the conditional ("if.../then...").
It's grammar not politics.
This is grammar AND politics: "If Bush loses, then it will clearly be an indication of the abject failure of his economic, social, political and military policies."
okidoki, pal, just interesting that you've been screaming from the ramparts for weeks about a landslide and now you seem to be hedging your bets. don't blame grammar for your uncertainty, place it on your candidate where it belongs.
You're simply projecting your own (understandable!) uncertainty onto me.
